This review, compiled for celebrating the decennial of the series of issues of E lectrophoresis on bioanalysis, does not cover much heri (yesterday in L atin), since this was extensively described by my previous review E lectrophoresis 2004, 25, 2111–2127, nor, for that matter cras (tomorrow in L atin) since making predictions on future scenarios is decidedly a nonscientific endeavor, but is concentrated onto hodie (today in L atin). Recent progress in the following fields is covered: SDS electrophoresis; IEF and the unraveling of the chemistry and composition of soluble carrier ampholytes; 2 D maps; CE with microchip technology and some coatings of unique performance; chemistry and function of combinatorial peptide ligand libraries. This latter technique is becoming fundamental in the detection and identification of low‐abundance proteins in proteome analysis.
