Book excerpt: As in all chemical separation methods, selectivity is an important parameter for achieving separation. Also important is the optimization of the separation conditions to achieve high plate counts, speed and resolution. Obviously, in any given separation process, no separation can take place in the absence of selectivity even if millions of theoretical plates are easily attained.This thematic issue of Journal of Chromatography A recognizes the importance of selectivity and optimization in maximizing separation in capillary electrophoresis by providing the reader with several review and research articles from experts in the field. The thematic issue is organized into six major parts, and in each part pertinent review articles are collected first followed by a number of original contributions.This special volume has treated many of the selectivity and optimization issues that address the needs of those who use capillary electrophoresis. This will facilitate the widespread use of capillary electrophoresis as an important analytical separation tool for solving separation problems of practical importance in the life and other sciences.
