Capillary electrochromatography (CEC) has attracted a lot of attention
recently although the technique has been known for about 25 years. Th
e resurgence of interest has come from the availability of new column
technology and the ever-present demand for more efficiency and lower l
imits of detection in liquid-phase separations. This paper summarizes
the proceedings of a recent symposium on the subject sponsored by the
California Separation Science Society.
