Abstract

Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) is a powerful analytical technique used for the high-resolution separation and characterization of molecular species. It leverages the principles of electrophoresis, where charged particles are separated based on their different mobilities in an electric field within a narrow capillary column. CE offers several advantages, including rapid analysis, high efficiency, low sample volume requirement, and the ability to analyze a wide range of analytes, from small molecules to large biomolecules. This technique has found extensive applications in fields such as clinical diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, environmental monitoring, and biochemistry. The coupling of CE with various detection methods, including UV-Vis, fluorescence, and mass spectrometry, enhances its versatility, making it a crucial tool for molecular analysis. This article explores the principles, applications, advancements, challenges, and future directions of Capillary Electrophoresis in various domains of scientific research and industry.
