Cells are the fundamental unit of life, and studies on cell contribute to reveal the mystery of life. However, since variability exists between individual cells even in the same kind of cells, increased emphasis has been put on the analysis of individual cells for getting better understanding on the organism functions. During the past two decades, various techniques have been developed for single-cell analysis. Capillary electrophoresis is an excellent technique for identifying and quantifying the contents of single cells. The microfluidic devices afford a versatile platform for single-cell analysis owing to their unique characteristics. This article provides a review on recent advances in single-cell analysis using capillary electrophoresis and microfluidic devices; focus areas to be covered include sampling techniques, detection methods and main applications in capillary electrophoresis, and cell culture, cell manipulation, chemical cytometry and cellular physiology on microfluidic devices.
