The chemical analysis of secretory vesicles has long been limited by the fact that many vesicles are analyzed together, resulting in an averaging of a population. Differences between vesicles within that population could not be detected. Wouldn't it be great if vesicles could be analyzed one at a time? You guessed it, this breakthrough has been recently achieved.

The technique of capillary electrophoresis (CE) was modified by Daniel Chiu, Sheri Lillard, Richard Scheller, Richard Zare, Sandra Rodriguez-Cruz, Evan Williams, Owe Orwar, Mats Sandberg, and Anders Lundqvist so that vesicles could be probed singly.
