While capillary electrophoresis, or historically related techniques, have been used for over a century, and recognition of the value of this separation methodology has certainly grown rapidly in the past few years, the technique has generally been used by analytical chemists, particularly in Europe and Japan, and small groups of researchers in the United States. Many of the basic instrumentation problems have been solved only relatively recently, and researchers using capillary electrophoresis are now turning their attention to studying specific applications which demonstrate the potential versatility of this electrophoretic technique. The appearance of standardized commercial instrumentation is imminent. With the availability of such technology, capillary electrophoresis will no longer be an academic curiosity, but rather a tool with the potential for routine separations of diverse samples of interest to analyst, researcher, and clinician.
虽然毛细管电泳或与之历史相关的技术已经使用了一个多世纪，并且在过去几年中人们对这种分离方法价值的认识肯定迅速提高，但该技术通常一直由分析化学家使用，特别是在欧洲和日本，以及美国的一小群研究人员。许多基本的仪器问题直到最近才得到解决，现在使用毛细管电泳的研究人员正将注意力转向研究特定应用，这些应用展示了这种电泳技术潜在的多功能性。标准化商业仪器即将出现。随着这种技术的出现，毛细管电泳将不再只是学术上的新奇事物，而是一种有可能对分析师、研究人员和临床医生感兴趣的各种样品进行常规分离的工具。
