This collection describes the basic principles underlying the most common electro-driven analytical techniques, practical aspects of separations via capillary electrochromatography (CEC), the extension of electric field-mediated separation tools to the nano-world, and a few applications in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Topics of the 15 contributions include capillary gel electrophoresis for nucleic acid and protein analysis, the effects of pore flow on separation efficiency in CEC with porous particles, microstructure and in-silico developments for high sensitivity proteomics research, and a novel combination of CEC with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
