Capillary electrophoresis coupling with electrochemiluminescence detection: a review Review Article

The development of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection for capillary electrophoresis (CE) is critically reviewed. After a simple discussion of the mechanism of ECL concerning in CE–ECL system and CE mode, special attention is focused on the instrumental design, mainly including addition of reagent, field decoupler, and ECL efficiency. Application of the CE–ECL technique was also given.
