The combination of capillary electrophoresis with mass spectrometry allows efficient separation and identification of components in mixtures with greater specificity than can be obtained using capillary electrophoresis and ultra violet detection alone. For the mixture of peptides analysed in this ap

β¦ Synopsis
Analytical biochemistry, in particular the analysis of regulatory proteins that control biological systems and pathways, is dependent on methods of ever-increasing sensitivity. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) has long been recognized as an ultrasensitive analytical technique. In spite of the high sensitivity, CE has not penetrated protein discovery research as a standard analytical method. In this review article we summarize recent technical developments which have significantly enhanced CE as a tool for the analysis of trace amounts of proteins. Specifically, we review recent advances in the development and application of capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) and on-line analyte concentration techniques, and introduce the emerging field of microfluidics as a front end to mass spectrometry (MS).

A capillary electrophoresis-tandem mass spectrometry (CE-MS/MS) approach has been developed for routine application in proteomic studies. Robustness of the coupling is achieved by using a standard coaxial sheath-flow sprayer. Thereby, greater stability than nanoelectrospray ionization-mass spectrome
