Abstract This survey is aimed at giving the readers a short overview of the present state of the art of clinical and forensic applications of capillary electrophoresis. First, the principles associated with electrokinetic capillary separations and instrumentation, sample preparation and solute quantitation are briefly discussed. This is followed by chapters describing the determination of endogenous and exogenous compounds in body fluids and tissue extracts. Finally, a survey of major achievements including reference to fully developed electrokinetic capillary assays is provided. The paper concludes with a brief outlook.
