# Capillary electrophoresis

Capillary electrophoresis separates charged molecules in a narrow capillary under a high voltage according to their charge-to-size ratio. It offers high efficiency and requires minimal sample, providing an orthogonal technique to reversed-phase HPLC for assessing peptide purity and charge variants.
