Abstract

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) has emerged as a powerful analytical technique with wide-ranging applications in various scientific disciplines. This paper delves into the recent advancements, innovative applications, and potential future directions of capillary electrophoresis, highlighting its significance in pushing the boundaries of analytical chemistry and beyond. The abstract begins by discussing the fundamentals of capillary electrophoresis, emphasizing its ability to separate charged analytes based on their electrophoretic mobility in a capillary filled with an electrolyte solution. Recent advancements in CE technology have significantly enhanced its capabilities, including improvements in instrumentation, detection methods, and microfluidic systems, leading to higher resolution, sensitivity, and throughput. The abstract outlines the diverse applications of CE across different fields such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, environmental analysis, food science, and forensic science. CE has been instrumental in drug development and quality control, protein analysis, DNA sequencing, environmental monitoring, food safety assessment, and forensic analysis, among others. Its versatility, speed, and ability to analyze complex samples make it an invaluable tool in modern analytical laboratories.
