Enantiomer separation by capillary electrophoresis utilizing noncyclic mono-, oligo- and polysaccharides as chiral selectors

Various noncyclic mono-, oligo- and polysaccharides have been successfully used for enantiomer separation in the analytical sciences such as HPLC and capillary electrophoresis (CE). This review presents: enantiomer separation by CE utilizing mainly polysaccharides as chiral additives. The operation conditions that affect the enantioselectivity are briefly discussed.
