• Resumen

  • Since its advent, capillary electrophoresis (CE) has been used to solve many chemical separation problems. Isolation and identification of components in samples ranging from human cells to shale oil have been achieved using CE.

    A wide variety of applications of CE have appeared in the literature. Many of these applications are presented in this article so as to demonstrate the power and versatility of CE. Separations of ionizable species including numerous small anions, proteins, and biopolymers are presented. Packed capillary and affinity CE methods are also discussed. Examples of the selectivity and resolving power of additives such as micelles and cyclodextrins are provided. Finally, the "future" of CE, including a examples of "CE on a chip," is discussed.
