Chiral Capillary Electrophoresis of Amphetamine-Type Stimulants

Amphetamine-type stimulants (ATS), having one or more asymmetric carbons, are important targets in forensic science field. For chiral analysis, capillary electrophoresis (CE) has advantages over other chromatographic methods, especially, in fastness, resolution, cost performance and simplicity. This review summarizes chiral separation techniques of ATS using CE with UV detection or CE/mass spectrometry mainly by the present authors' research group.
