Research Description:
My research project is focused on the separation and detection of amino acids and catecholamines using CE-LIF (capillary electrophoresis coupled with laser-induced fluorescence detection). The goal is to develop microfluidic systems and technologies to perform sensitive and selective detection of amino acids and their metabolites in biological fluids including urine, blood plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. The basic strategy is based on the pre- or post-column fluorogenic derivatization of these analytes by using various derivatization reagents. We expect to build integrated microfluidic systems and technologies targeting cancer screening and diagnosis as well as in vivo neurotransmitter measurements in rat brain.
