Pharmaceutical potential, capillary electrophoresis

The hyphenation of CE and NMR combines a powerful separation technique with an information-rich detection method. Although compared with LC-NMR, CE-NMR is still in its infancy it has the potential to impact a variety of applications in pharmaceutical, food chemistry, forensics, environmental, and natural products analysis because of the high information content and low sample requirements of this method [82-84]. In addition to standard capillary electrophoresis separations, two CE variants have become increasingly important in CE-NMR, capillary electrochromatography and capillary isotachophoresis, both of which will be described later in this section.
