Capillary electrochromatography (
CEC
) is a hybrid microseparation technique that combines the high selectivity of high‐performance liquid chromatography (
HPLC
) and the high efficiency of capillary electrophoresis (
CE
).
CEC
holds unique advantages such as high separation power, high selectivity, high sensitivity, short analysis time, low consumption of samples and chemicals, and good compatibility with mass spectrometry (
MS
). Accordingly, it has attracted extensive attentions over the past decades. Recent progresses in
CEC
, especially the development of
CEC
stationary phases, such as fused silica‐packed columns, open tubular coating columns, monolithic columns, and molecular imprinted polymer columns, as well as the application of CEC in chiral separation and peptide/protein analysis, are summarized in this chapter.
