title: Analysis of antibiotics by capillary electrophoresis.
abstract: This article reviews recent developments in the characterization of antibiotics. Many capillary electrophoretic techniques have been utilized in their analyses, addressing various aspects of quantifying, profiling and monitoring. Sensitive electrochemical and laser-induced fluorescence detection systems have been utilized, demonstrating trace level determinations in clinical settings and in environmental samples. Different sample introduction methods have been explored, enhancing detection sensitivity, or reducing or eliminating sample manipulation prior to injection.
