Abstract
Poor sensitivity is considered to be one of the major limitations of electrophoretic separation methods, particularly when compared to traditional liquid chromatographic techniques. To address this issue, various in-line preconcentration techniques have been developed over the past 15 years, ranging in power and complexity, and there are now a number of well understood approaches routinely capable of providing a 10,000- to 100,000-fold increase in sensitivity, as well as several that can be pushed above a million. Furthermore, these have been achieved with particularly troublesome and often difficult samples, such as those having high salinity from a biological or environmental origin. This review will discuss the most common methods for improving the sensitivity of CE, CEC and microchip version of these, with particular attention to those approaches developed over the last five years.

Abstract
The separation of three selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) by capillary electrophoresis (CE) with fully integrated solid-phase extraction (SPE) is described. Polymeric monolithic SPE modules were prepared in situ within a fused silica capillary from either butyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate or 3-sulfopropyl methacrylate-co-butyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate. Using a 1cm SPE module placed at the inlet of the capillary, a mixture of sertraline, fluoxetine and fluvoxamine was extracted from aqueous solution by applying a simple pressure rinse. Under pressure-driven conditions, efficient elution was possible from both SPE materials investigated using 50mM phosphate buffer, pH 3.5 in acetonitrile (20/80, v/v). Two different strategies were investigated for the efficient elution and subsequent CE separation. Injection of an aqueous sample plug directly into the non-aqueous elution/separation buffer was found to be unsuitable with poor elution profiles observed in the electrodriven mode. Alternatively, a sample plug equivalent to several capillary volumes could be injected by pressure followed by filling the capillary with the non-aqueous elution/separation buffer from the outlet end using a combination of pressure and electrodriven flow. Using a neutral monolith, efficient elution/separation was not possible due to an unstable electroosmotic flow (EOF), however, by adding the ionisable monomer, 3-sulfopropyl methacrylate to the SPE module to increase and stabilise the EOF, it was possible to achieve efficient elution from the SPE module, followed by baseline separation by CE using a 200 mM acetate buffer, pH 3.5 in acetonitrile (10/90, v/v). With enrichment factors of over 500 achieved for each of the analytes this demonstrates the potential of in-line SPE-CE for the sensitive analysis of these drugs.

Abstract
A simple capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) method has been developed for analyzing seven nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)-sulindac (SU), ketoprofen (KE), indomethacin (IN), piroxicam (PI), nimesulide (NI), ibuprofen (IB), and naproxen (NA). The separation was run using borate buffer (60 mmol L(-1), pH 8.5) containing 13% (v/v) methanol at 20 kV, and detected at 200 nm. Several conditions were studied, including concentration and pH of borate buffer, methanol percentage, and separation voltage. In method validation, the calibration plots were linear over the range 40.0-500.0 micromol L(-1). In intra-day and inter-day analysis, relative standard deviations (RSD) and relative errors (RE) were all less than 5%. The limits of detection were 10 micromol L(-1) for SU, IN, PI, and 20 micromol L(-1) for KE, NI, IB, NA (S/N = 3, sampling 6 s by pressure). All recoveries were greater than 95%. This method was applied to the quality control of six NSAIDs in pharmaceuticals using NI as internal standard (IS). The assay results were within the labeled amount required by USP 25.

Abstract
In order to increase our understanding of the mechanisms of learning and memory in the central nervous system, it is necessary to know the neurotransmitters and neuromodulators used in the specific neuronal circuits under study. Methods have been developed to identify the peptides released from single neurons and neuronal clusters from the common neuronal model Aplysia californica. Specifically, solid-phase extraction (SPE), capillary electrophoresis (CE) and matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) are combined for profiling neuropeptide releasates. A variety of combinations of SPE and CE were coupled off-line with MALDI-TOF-MS to reduce the high physiological salts, to concentrate the analytes, and to reduce the complexity of the mass spectra using separation. With these protocols, peptides and proteins up to 11000 Da were detected in releasates, offering a much wider mass range compared to direct MALDI analysis of the same releasates. A number of expected and unknown neuropeptides, including egg-laying hormone (ELH) and the partially processed delta/gamma-bag cell peptide were observed in the SPE-treated releasates from a single Aplysia-cultured bag cell neuron. However, by adding a CE separation after the SPE step preceding off-line MALDI-TOF-MS detection, the most complete neuropeptide profiles were obtained.

Abstract
One of the weak points of capillary electrophoresis is the need to implement rigorously sample pretreatment because its great impact on the quality of the qualitative and quantitative results provided. One of the approaches to solve this problem is through the symbiosis of automatic continuous flow systems (CFSs) and capillary electrophoresis (CE). In this review a systematic approach to CFS-CE coupling is presented and discussed. The design of the corresponding interface depends on three factors, namely: (a) the characteristics of the CFS involved which can be non-chromatographic and chromatographic; (b) the type of CE equipment: laboratory-made or commercially available; and (c) the type of connection which can be in-line (on-capillary), on-line or mixed off/on-line. These are the basic criteria to qualify the hyphenation of CFS (solid-phase extraction, dialysis, gas diffusion, evaporation, direct leaching) with CE described so far and applied to determine a variety of analytes in many different types of samples. A critical discussion allows one to demonstrate that this symbiosis is an important topic in research and development, besides separation and detection, to consolidate CE as a routine analytical tool.

Abstract
Dialysis-solid-phase extraction (SPE) sample pretreatment is combined on-line with non-aqueous capillary electrophoresis for the determination of tricyclic antidepressants in urine and serum. After clean-up and enrichment, the water is removed from the sample matrix and the analytes are eluted from the cartridge by means of an organic solvent. Next, the eluate is transported to the capillary and the injection is performed electrokinetically. This injection, which does not suffer from an adverse sample matrix effect because of the SPE step, results in further analyte concentration. The detection limits are in the 0.02-0.1 microg/ml range and the day-to-day repeatabilities are between 2.5 and 9.5%, which is quite satisfactory.

Abstract
Ibuprofen and naproxen have been quantified in tablets by capillary isotachophoresis. Hydrochloric acid (10 mmol/l) adjusted with creatinine to pH 5.0 plus 0.1% polyvinylpyrrolidone was used as the leading electrolyte and 10 mmol/l 4-morpholineethanesulfonic acid as the terminating electrolyte. Linearity was observed from 40.0 to 200.0 mg/l of ibuprofen (naproxen), with a coefficient of determination (r2) of 0.999. Good quantitation was obtained in short analysis time. The isotachophoretic results were compared with those obtained by the fluorescence spectrometry. Experimental parameters for ibuprofen were: lambdaEX=224 nm and lambdaEM=290 nm. Experimental parameters for naproxen were: lambdaEX=230 nm and lambdaEM=355 nm. The calibration plot was found to be linear in the range 0.4-2.4 mg/l for ibuprofen and 5.0-20.0 microg/l for naproxen. The minimal sample pretreatment and relatively low running cost make isotachophoresis a good alternative to existing methods.

Abstract
Potentialities of capillary zone electrophoresis with on-line isotachophoresis sample pretreatment and diode array detection (ITP-CZE-DAD) to the separation, detection and identification of trace analytes present in biological matrices were investigated. Urine represented a multicomponent, variable and high ionic strength matrix while orotic acid was chosen as a model analyte of a practical clinical relevance in this investigation. Using the ITP-CZE combination in the column-coupling configuration of the separation system ITP provided an enhanced sample load capacity to the separation system (a 30 microl sample injection volume), concentrated the analyte and served as an on-line sample clean up technique. On the other hand, CZE performed a final separation of the analyte from matrix constituents present in the ITP pretreated sample and provided favorable conditions for its detection and identification by DAD. Using current correction and smoothing procedures analytically relevant DAD spectra of orotic acid could be obtained also in instances when this was injected in a model sample at a 2 x 10(-7) mol/l concentration (an estimated limit of determination of orotic acid at a 218 nm detection wavelength). ITP-CZE separations of urine samples (based on differences in acid-base properties and host-guest complexations of the analyte and matrix anionic constituents) led to significant sample clean ups. Consequently, DAD spectra of orotic acid matching its reference spectrum, could be acquired also in instances when the acid was present in urine matrices (loaded in 30 microl injection volumes of 20-fold diluted urine samples) at 4-6 x 10(-7) mol/l concentrations. Here, residual trace matrix interferents prevented a closer approach to the above value attainable for model samples. Although this work was focused only on one analyte and urine matrix it implies very promising potentialities of the ITP-CZE-DAD combination in the identification and quantitation of trace analytes present in biological matrices, in general.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoretic separation of samples of physiological origin typically have both poor resolution and efficiency due to destacking. We have previously reported a stacking method for concentration of catecholamines in artificial dialysate, or Ringer's solution. However, pH-mediated sample stacking of other cations has not been investigated. In this report, pH-mediated stacking has been extended to eletripan, dofetilide, doxazosin, sildenafil, UK-103,320, UK-202,581, and CP-122,288. These compounds were chosen without prior structural screening except that they were cationic at the pH of our background electrolyte (BGE). Capillary electrophoretic behavior of samples in BGE is compared with those of samples in Ringer's solution with and without pH-mediated acid stacking. Results indicate that the peak heights and efficiencies for acid-stacked samples are increased compared to the unstacked samples in Ringer's solution or BGE. For example, the peak efficiencies for 5 s injections of eletriptan in BGE and Ringer's solution are 138,000 and 72,000 plates, respectively. In contrast, a 10 s injection of eletriptan followed by acid injection for 16 s produces a peak with 246,000 plates. Evaluation of the stacking effect was performed by comparison of the peak height at similar peak efficiencies for samples in Ringer's solution with and without stacking. Using this method, pH-mediated acid stacking provides a 10- to 27-fold sensitivity enhancement for the seven cations.

Abstract
This article reviews the status of solid-phase extraction (SPE) coupled with capillary electrophoresis (CE). It focuses on some of the organic pollutants which have captured the interest of analytical chemists--phenols, surfactants, dyes, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), aromatic and aliphatic amines, aromatic acids and aromatic sulfonic acids--and, in particular, on monitoring pesticides from different sources. It shows that the coupling of SPE to CE has considerable potential in the analysis of environmental pollutants.

Abstract
The limits of detection (LOD) for capillary electrophoresis (CE) are constrained by the dimensions of the capillary. For example, the small volume of the capillary limits the total volume of sample that can be injected into the capillary. In addition, the reduced pathlength hinders common optical detection methods such as UV detection. Many different techniques have been developed to improve the LOD for CE. In general these techniques are designed to compress analyte bands within the capillary, thereby increasing the volume of sample that can be injected without loss of CE efficiency. This on-line sample preconcentration, generally referred to as stacking, is based on either the manipulation of differences in the electrophoretic mobility of analytes at the boundary of two buffers with differing resistivities or the partitioning of analytes into a stationary or pseudostationary phase. This article will discuss a number of different techniques, including field-amplified sample stacking, large-volume sample stacking, pH-mediated sample stacking, on-column isotachophoresis, chromatographic preconcentration, sample stacking for micellar electrokinetic chromatography, and sweeping.

Abstract
Vial liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) combined with capillary electrophoresis (CE) was evaluated for the determination of the acidic drugs ibuprofen, naproxen, and ketoprofen present in water samples and in human urine. The 2.5 mL samples containing the drugs were filled into conventional vials and subsequently acidified by 250 microL of 1-10 M HCl. Porous hollow fibers of polypropylene containing 25 microL of an aqueous solution of 0.01-0.1 M NaOH (acceptor solution) and with dihexyl ether immobilized in the pores of the wall were placed into each of the samples. The acidic drugs were extracted from the acidified sample solutions into the dihexyl ether phase, in the pores of the hollow fiber, and further into the alkaline acceptor solution forced by high partition coefficients. The drugs were extracted almost quantitatively (75-100% extraction efficiency) from the 2.5 mL samples and into the 25 microL acceptor solutions, providing 75-100 times preconcentration. The acceptor solutions were collected for automated CE analysis, which enabled the drugs to be detected down to the 1 ng/mL level.

Abstract
The analysis of biological samples (e.g., blood, urine, saliva, tissue homogenates) by capillary electrophoresis (CE) requires efficient sample preparation (i.e., concentration and clean-up) procedures to remove interfering solutes (endogenous/exogenous and/or low-/high-molecular-mass), (in)organic salts and particulate matter. The sample preparation modules can be coupled with CE either off-line (manual), at-line (robotic interface), on-line (coupling via a transfer line) or in-line (complete integration between sample preparation and separation system). Sample preparation systems reported in the literature are based on chromatographic, electrophoretic or membrane-based procedures. The combination of automated sample preparation and CE is especially useful if complex samples have to be analyzed and helps to improve both selectivity and sensitivity. In this review, the different modes of solid-phase (micro-) extraction will be discussed and an overview of the potential of chromatographic, electrophoretic (e.g., isotachophoresis, sample stacking) and membrane-based procedures will be given.

Abstract
A review is presented of sample preparation and separation techniques for the determination of inorganic ions by ion chromatography (IC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE). Emphasis has been placed on those sample treatment methods which are specific to inorganic analysis, and the developments in separation methods which are discussed are those which enhance the capabilities of IC and CE to handle complex sample matrices. Topics discussed include solid-phase extraction for sample clean-up and preconcentration, dialytic methods, combustion methods, matrix-elimination IC, electrostatic IC, electrically polarised ion-exchange resins, electromigration sample preparation in CE, chromatographic sample preparation for CE, use of high-ionic strength background electrolytes, buffering of background electrolytes in CE, use of capillary electrochromatography for inorganic determinations, and methods for the manipulation of separation selectivity in both IC and CE. Finally, some possible future trends are discussed.
