Traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) are generally mixtures of herbal plants or extracts which comprise hundreds of different constituents with widely difference in the content and physiochemical properties. In order to analyze bioactive compounds in TCMs and control the quality, a large number of analytical tools have been developed, among which capillary electrophoresis (CE) has become a powerful technique with increasing importance. Some formats of CE, including capillary zone electrophoresis, micellar electrokinetic chromatography, non-aqueous CE and capillary electrochromatography have been widely employed for the analysis of TCMs. The general characteristics of these formats are briefly described, and their applications to the analysis of TCMs during the past five years are summarized.
中药通常是草药植物或提取物的混合物，其中包含数百种不同成分，其含量和理化性质差异很大。为了分析中药中的生物活性成分并控制其质量，人们开发了大量分析工具，其中毛细管电泳（CE）已成为一种越来越重要的强大技术。CE的一些形式，包括毛细管区带电泳、胶束电动色谱、非水CE和毛细管电色谱，已被广泛用于中药分析。简要描述了这些形式的一般特征，并总结了它们在过去五年中在中药分析中的应用。
