title: Capillary electrophoresis-high resolution sector field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.
abstract: The background and applications of high resolution sector field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HR-ICP-MS) as a detector for capillary (CE) and gel electrophoretic separations are reviewed. Notable progress has been made in the fields of bioinorganic and environmental (geo-) chemistry. Metallomics, the study of metal species interactions and functions in biological systems, puts substantial technical demands on speciation analysis. The combination of high species resolving power (CE) and high sensitivity-high mass resolving power (HR-ICP-MS) provides a solid base to meet such demands.
