Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a high-resolution technique for the separation of complex
biological and chemical mixtures. CE continues to emerge as a powerful tool in the determination
of lipids. Here we review the analytical potential of CE for the determination of a
wide range of lipids. The different classes of lipids are introduced, and the different modes
of CE and optimization methods for the separation of lipids are described. The advantages
and disadvantages of the different modes of CE compared to traditional methods
like gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (LC) in the determination of lipids
are discussed. Finally, the potential of CE in the determination of lipids in the future is
illustrated.
