Diese Monographie bietet einen vollständigen Überblick über die Prinzipien und Anwendungen der Kapillarelektrophorese (CE) und der Massenspektrometrie (MS) und legt den Nachdruck insbesondere auf Kopplungsschnittstellen. Ausführlich erläutert werden auch alle relevanten Substanzklassen. Ein einzigartiges Wissenskompendium für alle, die sich CE-MS beschäftigen!

This monograph offers the reader a complete overview on both principles and applications of CE-MS. Starting with an introductory chapter on detection in CE, also related and more specialized techniques such as electrophoretic and chromatographic preconcentration are discussed. A special emphasis is put on CE-MS interfaces, which are described in detail. In a separate chapter, attention is paid to sheath-liquid interfacing. The developments and possibilities of microchip CE-MS are also described. Applications to all relevant areas are discussed in distinct chapters, each written by experts in the respective fields.
Besides applications in pharmaceutical analysis and bioanalysis, recent implementations in food science, forensic analysis, analysis of intact proteins, metabolomics and proteomics are highlighted. MS is a perfectly appropriate detection system for CE, as efficient separation is coupled to sensitive and selection detection. Moreover, MS can provide structure information on the separated compounds. CE-MS has now been developed into a strong hyphenated system complementary to LC-MS. This monograph is an unique source of knowledge for everyone dealing with and interested in CE-MS.
