Pharmaceutical and biomedical applications of chiral capillary electrophoresis and capillary electrochromatography:...

Capillary electrophoresis is often considered an ideal method for the chiral analysis of compounds due to the high separation power of the technique and has therefore found widespread acceptance for the analysis of drugs and pharmaceuticals. In contrast, capillary electrochromatography is still more or less in an infancy state searching for its place among the analytical separation techniques although interesting applications have been published. The present review summarizes recent developments and applications of chiral pharmaceutical analysis by electromigration techniques published in 2002 and early 2003.
