Application of Ionic Liquids to Capillary Electrophoresis

Ionic liquids (also known as room temperature molten salts) are characterized by their special feature of keeping liquid state under room temperature or under temperatures a little below room temperature.Based on the unique physicochemical property,ionic liquids were applied widely in capillary electrophoresis,and a review on this topic pertaining to the progress and trends,covering mainly the years from 1999 to 2007,was presented in this paper (43 ref.cited).
