This review surveys the accomplishments in the separation of peptides and proteins by capillary electrochromatography (CEC) over the last decade. A significant number of research articles have been published on this topic since the last review. Peptide and proteins separations have been carried out in all three formats of CEC, i.e., packed bed, continuous bed and open-tubular (OT) format. In addition to electrophoresis, different chromatographic modes have been successfully exploited with the most prevalent being reversed-phase mode followed by ion-exchange. Although many researchers continue to use model proteins and peptides primarily to evaluate the performance of novel stationary phases some researchers have also applied CEC to the analysis of real-life samples. The potential of CEC to yield complementary information and sometimes a superior separation with respect to established techniques, i.e., microbore HPLC and capillary electrophoresis has been demonstrated. Instrumental modifications in order to facilitate coupling of CEC to mass spectrometry have further upgraded the value of CEC for proteomic analysis. Capillaries are still the separation vehicle of choice for most researchers yet the microfluidic platform is gaining momentum, propelled particularly by its potential for multitasking, e.g., performing different chromatographic modes in series.
