CE-MS has gained further attention as a multidimensional analytical approach. The number of publications dealing with this technique is still increasing on the level of application as well as method development-oriented approaches. Additionally, 15 reviews were published the last two years focusing on CE-MS. An overview of all papers found to have been published within 2005 and 2006 is given in tabulated form. Additionally, four promising technical trends are chosen to be presented in detail: (i) chip-based CE-MS, (ii) capillary coatings in CE-MS, (iii) new trends in CEC-MS and (iv) the application of 2-D CE-MS.
