The important features of electrokinetic chromatography are critically revi
ewed. Special emphasis is given to systems using micelles as pseudostationa
ry phase. Short and comprehensive overviews are given on the subjects of se
paration, comparison with capillary electrochromatography, on-line coupling
with mass spectrometry, and developments that are expected in the future.
A greater coverage on the subject of improvement of detection sensitivity,
specifically by on-line concentration was also contributed. (C) 1999 Elsevi
