Issue no. 17 is a regular issue comprising 18 manuscripts distributed over 5 separate parts. Part I has 7 research articles on some aspects of proteins and cell separations. Part II has 3 research articles on nucleic acid research including cloning/amplification, gene regulation and STR analysis. Part III offers ways of measuring diffusion and binding constants in two separate articles. Concentration and detection approaches are treated in 4 research articles making up Part IV. The last two articles in this issue (Part V) are on CEC and EKC describing a mixed mode monolithic stationary phase and a cyclodextrin‐modified MEEKC. Featured articles include: Lamp‐based wavelength‐resolved fluorescence detection for protein capillary electrophoresis: Set‐up and detector performance ((doi: 10.1002/elps.201000246 )) Electromigration diffusivity spectrometry: A way for simultaneous determination of diffusion coefficients from mixed samples ((doi: 10.1002/elps.201000252 )) Sample stacking capillary electrophoretic microdevice for highly sensitive mini Y short tandem repeat genotyping ((doi: 10.1002/elps.201000270 ))
