Capillary electrophoresis for the determination of drugs in biological fluids

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is an effective and economic tool for analysis of licit and illicit drugs and their metabolites in biological samples. This chapter provides a brief overview of the principles of CE, the features of CE instrumentation and the key aspects of CE-based drug assays that were developed for therapeutic drug monitoring, clinical and forensic toxicology and the assessment of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics
