Abstract

This paper provides an overview on the current status of capillary electrophoresis (CE) in the analysis of inorganic and charged small organic species. The various CE strategies used to improve the separation of ionic analytes are summarized. Technical developments in the design of improved detection systems are described. A brief account of their advantages and limitations is given. The potential use of these devices for miniaturized CE systems is also described. Finally, special attention is focused on the on-capillary preconcentration techniques developed in attempts to overcome the poor detectability of CE. Recent review articles are frequently cited to provide readers with a source of information about pioneering work, theoretical treatments, and specific applications.
