Electroosmotic‐flow‐driven droplet generation integrated with capillary electrophoresis (CE) allows the molecular components separated by CE to be compartmentalized into a stream of droplets, as reported by D. T. Chiu and co‐workers in their Communication on page 2719 ff. and illustrated on the cover picture. After separation and droplet compartmentalization, the droplet‐confined bands either can be docked and studied on‐chip or removed off‐chip for a second‐dimension separation and further analysis.
