This paper serves as an annual review of capillary electrophoresis (CE) technology for 2023. The journals were selected based on their impact factor (IF), a universally recognized academic performance metric, combined with experimental work closely related to CE technology, to facilitate the rapid acquisition of significant research and application advancements in CE technology in 2023. A thematic search of the ISI Web of Science database yielded 669 research papers on CE technology published in 2023. This review highlights five experimental papers published in journals with IFs greater than 10.0, including Nature Communications, Nucleic Acids Research, Engineering, Journal of Medical Virology, and Carbohydrate Polymers, and 31 experimental papers from representative journals with IFs between 5.0 and 10.0, such as Analytical Chemistry, Analytica Chimica Acta, Talanta, and Food Chemistry. It also provides an overview of experimental research in journals with focused reporting on CE technology but with IFs less than 5.0, such as Journal of Chromatography A and Electrophoresis, as well as significant experimental research from key domestic Chinese core journals (Peking University). In 2023, all the latest scientific advancements reported in journals with an IF greater than 10.0 utilized previously reported CE methods, offering new breakthroughs for the promotion and application of CE technology. Additionally, new applications of CE in conjunction with mass spectrometry remained a hot topic. An increase in reports on the hardware aspects of CE, such as 3D printing and underwater systems, and significant breakthroughs in the analysis of non-solution samples, such as solid particles, cell vesicles, cells, viruses, and bacteria, was noted. CE is advantageous for the analysis of drugs and their components. In Chinese journals, the number of papers on CE applications exceeded that in previous years, with particular focus on the field of printing for new applications.
为方便读者快速了解毛细管电泳(capillary electrophoresis, CE)技术在2023年的发展,根据国际通用学术水平评价指标之一的影响因子(IF)选择期刊,结合与CE技术紧密相关的实验类工作回顾了2023年的重要研究和应用进展。在ISI Web of Science数据库中通过主题检索所获得的2023年CE技术相关的669篇研究论文中,重点介绍了IF大于10.0的Nature Communications, Nucleic Acids Research, Engineering, Journal of Medical Virology和Carbohydrate Polymers发表的5篇实验类论文;IF为5.0~10.0的代表性期刊Analytical Chemistry, Analytica Chimica Acta, Talanta和Food Chemistry的31篇实验类论文;对IF小于5.0但CE技术报道较为集中的Journal of Chromatography A和Electrophoresis以及国内重要中文核心期刊(北京大学)中的代表性实验研究进行了概述。2023年,IF≥10.0期刊报道的最新科研进展都是使用已报道的CE方法,为CE技术的推广应用提供了新的突破口。此外,CE与质谱的新应用研究依旧是热点;CE在3D打印和水下工作系统等硬件方面的报道增加,在固体颗粒、细胞囊泡、细胞、病毒和细菌等非溶液样品分析中有较大突破,在药物和成分分析方面依旧保持优势。中文期刊方面,CE应用论文数量多于往年,尤其是在印刷领域的新应用十分抢眼。
