Abstract
Requirements and challenges for the hyphenation of capillary electrophoresis (CE) with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) as an alternative sample introduction technique in chemical- and biochemical speciation analysis are reviewed in this chapter. Beneficial aspects and limitations of different concepts for the hyphenation of CE and ICP-MS are discussed. Recent applications of CE-ICP-MS are reviewed to demonstrate its potential and limitation in modern biochemical speciation analysis.
