Chiral separations in capillary electrophoresis

Chiral separations in capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) were reviewed using chiral selectors. The principal task of chiral separations is the creation of the selectivity essential for the separation of the sterically different forms of compounds such as enantiomers. Cyclodextrins were classified as chiral selectors established in analytical practice. In addition, macrocyclic antibiotics of the glycosidic type are very promising from the viewpoint of enantioselective capability, separation efficiency, and separation speed.
