1. A process for identifying a virus comprising proteins, said process comprising:

  • solubilizing at least a portion of the proteins of the virus to provide solubilized proteins;

    providing a microfluidic chip;

    optionally preconcentrating said solubilized proteins on said microfluidic chip;

    labeling at least a portion of said solubilized proteins to provide labeled proteins on said microfluidic chip;

    electrokinetically injecting at least a portion of said labeled proteins into at least one microchannel electrophoretic separator on said microfluidic chip;

    electrophoretically separating at least a portion of said labeled proteins in a constant-current mode to provide separated proteins on said microfluidic chip;

    detecting at least a portion of said separated proteins on said microfluidic chip using a detector, wherein said detecting generates signals correlate to the concentration and separation time of said separated proteins; and

    analyzing said signals to identify the virus.
