The Death Cap mushroom is the cause of most mushroom-related poisonings in the world. The author has developed a highly efficient, sensitive CE technique that toxicologists and forensic analysts can use to determine the poisonous peptides in body fluids of affected patients.

Sometimes you must sacrifice chromatographic performance to obtain analytical results.

The authors review current strategies for amino acid analysis and explain their novel approach for simplified sample preparation of body fluids for amino acid analysis...

This "CE Currents" column examines the use of capillary electrophoresis (CE) in three important areas of pharmaceutical analysis.

Highly selective sorbents for solid-phase extraction (SPE) are desirable tools for the development of selective and sensitive methods for trace analysis. Molecular imprinting is an emerging technique that can yield analyte- or group-selective polymeric sorbents.

In this month's installment, John Hinshaw reports about the 24th International Symposium on Capillary Chromatography and Electrophoresis held in May.
