Capillary ElectrophoresisMass Spectrometry for Metabolomics

In this book, the unique features of CE-MS for metabolomics studies are highlighted and a comprehensive overview of recent technological developments is given at a level suitable for researchers working in metabolomics, bioanalytics and biomarker analysis. Capillary electrophoresis–mass spectrometry (CE-MS) has become a very useful analytical technique for the profiling of highly polar and charged metabolites in biological samples. In this book, the unique features of CE-MS for metabolomics studies are highlighted including CE separation modes, capillary coatings and practical aspects of CE-MS coupling alongside a comprehensive overview of recent technological developments and applications. CE-MS can be considered a relatively new technique in the field of metabolomics and it is therefore important to inform the scientific community about the possibilities of advanced CE-MS approaches for metabolomics studies. This book outlines the potential of this technique for researchers working in metabolomics, bioanalytics and biomarker analysis.
