Abstract

Capillary electrophoresis is an establishing separation technique for a wide spectrum of analytes, ranging from small inorganic ions to macromolecules and it provides reliable data, requires minimal sample preparation and offers a high degree of automation. Application of crown ethers in the capillary electrophoresis because of their unique characteristics is well established. In this review article we investigated on the application of crown ethers in organic and inorganic compounds separations.
