The most significant advances in food analysis using microchip
electrophoresis (ME) technology will be discussed in this book chapter, covering the
works published from 2009 to 2019, which will be organized in three sections based on
the detection mode employed: electrochemical and fluorescence detection, and
bioanalytical-based approaches. The most innovative methodologies, relevant
applications, and latest advances in instrumentation to achieve a truly portable lab-o-
-a-chip will be discussed. Commercial instruments will also be briefly mentioned as a
demonstration of the maturity of ME technology.
Keywords: Biosensors, Bioassays, Electrochemical detection, Fluorescence detection, Food analysis, Lab-on-a-chip, Microfluidic, Microchip electrophoresis.
