[Review of the development of capillary electrochromatography].

Capillary electrochromatography is a new micro-LC technique which combines the selectivity of HPLC and the high efficiency of HPCE. It utilizes EOF or EOF with pumped flow to drive mobile phase fluids through a stationary phase in a capillary column and permits the separations of charged and uncharged compounds. Capillary electrochromatography can be divided into three categories: packed-column electrochromatography, open-tubular electrochromatography and pressurized-flow electrochromatography. The paper surveys the recent development of the capillary electrochromatography.
