Analysis of Amino Acids and Related Compounds by Capillary Electrophoresis

For more than two decades, capillary electrophoresis (CE) was found to be a powerful tool in the separation of low molecular weight charged compounds, such as amino acids (AA). This article provides an overview on the current status of CE for analyzing AAs and their metabolites in biological and nonbiological samples. A survey of works published during the last 20 years is presented, underlining the main advantages brought by CE for the study of...
