Advances in enantioselective separations using electromigration capillary techniques.

The most recent literature dealing with enantioselective separations and stereoselective analyses of chiral entities including especially pharmaceuticals, phytochemicals, biochemicals, agrochemicals, fine chemicals and specific test compounds by electromigration techniques such as CE, MEKC, MEEKC, CEC and microchip CE is reviewed. The review covers literature from 2007 until mid-2008, i.e. studies that were published after the appearance of the latest review article on that topic in Electrophoresis by Gübitz and Schmid (see Electrophoresis 2007, 28, 114). Particular attention is given to the description of new chiral selector systems, studies on separation mechanisms and applications in the above-specified electromigration techniques.
