Dr. Harrison's research focuses on analytical and bioanalytical separations through capillary electrophoretic and liquid chromatographic techniques.  A primary focus of the research is on the development of practical and elegant solutions to current challenges in separation sciences.

 

Research topics currently being investigated:

    •    Capillary electrophoretic age determination of red blood cells

    •    Alternative column derivatizations for ion chromatography

    •    Novel capillary coatings for EOF control for protein and ion separations

    •    Nanofluidic segmentation and injection

    •    The development of paper based separation devices

 

The work in the Harrison lab ranges from instrument fabrication and development to the validation of analytical processes and theories.  An atmosphere of cooperation and collaboration is emphasized in the lab to take advantage of, and expand, the knowledge of all the members.  Group members will leave the group with a fundamental knowledge of all techniques used in the group regardless of their chosen research topic.
