I meant capillary electrophoresis not gel one. The company that I mentioned does that and calibration is basically by comparing the different peaks.

I firmly believe that we do need army of citizens digging and finding patterns in their own body to be able to advance health. They just need a convenient and reliable device like fitness bracelets now(and start with urine or saliva in the beginning). You don't even have to be rigorous with it, if you will measure every day, just want to know abnormalities (new peak, sudden increase).
I am trying to do CE for this, it has good sensitivity, just need to try a couple of schemes how to do it without running buffers.Blood is already buffered. Currently working on it. I'll post when/if it works.

But there is a public health reason probably. Imagine a personal diagnostician drawing blood with lancets, (that is a supply
already, and worth it for sterility), then using a gel cartridge of some kind once, letting it sit for a month and repeating.
It would probably dry out and have different concentrations and go uncalibrated, triggering him/her to think the measured
diagnostic had changed.
The more likely way we will see inexpensive personal diagnostics is that supplies become a low cost commodity like lancets.
