Recent advances in coupling capillary electrophoresis‐based separation techniques to ESI and MALDI‐MS

Coupling CE‐based separation techniques to MS creates a powerful platform for analysis of a wide range of biomolecules from complex samples because it combines the high separation efficiency of CE and the sensitivity and selectivity of MS detection. ESI and MALDI, as the most common soft ionization techniques employed for CE and MS coupling, offer distinct advantages for biomolecular characterization. This review is focused primarily on technological advances in combining CE and chip‐based CE with ESI and MALDI‐MS detection in the past five years. Selected applications in the analyses of metabolites, peptides, and proteins with recently developed CE‐MS platforms are also highlighted.
