Abstract
A butyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate (BuMA-co-EDMA) monolith was synthesized by UV initiated polymerization at the inlet end of a 75 microm I.D. fused silica capillary that had been previously coated with a protein compatible polymer, poly(vinyl)alcohol. The monolith was used for on-line preconcentration of proteins followed by capillary electrophoresis (CE) separation. For the analysis of standard proteins (cytochrome c, lysozyme and trypsinogen A) this system proved reproducible. The run-to-run %RSD values for migration time and corrected peak area were less than 5%, which is typical of CE. As measured by frontal analysis using lysozyme as solute, saturation of a 1cm monolith was reached after loading 48 ng of protein. Finally, the BuMA-co-EDMA monolithic preconcentrator was coupled to a protein G monolithic column via a zero dead volume union. The coupled system was used for on-line removal of IgG, preconcentration of standard proteins and CE separation. This system could be a valuable sample preparation tool for the analysis of low abundance proteins in complex samples such as human serum, in which high abundance proteins, e.g., human serum albumin (HSA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG), hinder identification and quantification of low abundance proteins.

Abstract
An on-line preconcentration method based on ion exchange solid phase extraction was developed for the determination of cationic analytes in capillary electrophoresis (CE). The preconcentration-separation system consisted of a preconcentration capillary bonded with carboxyl cation-exchange stationary phase, a separation capillary for zone electrophoresis and a tee joint interface of the capillaries. Two capillaries were connected closely inside a 0.3 mm i.d. polytetrafluoroethylene tube with a side opening and fixed together by the interface. The preparations of the preconcentration capillaries and interface were described in detail in this paper. The on-line preconcentration and separation procedure of the analysis system included washing and conditioning the capillaries, loading analytes, filling with buffer solution, eluting analytes and separating by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). Several analysis parameters, including sample loading flow rate and time, eluting solution and volume, inner diameter and length of preconcentration capillary etc., were investigated. The proposed method enhanced the detection sensitivity of CE-UV about 5000 times for propranolol and metoprolol compared with normally electrokinetic injection. The detection limits of propranolol and metoprolol were 0.02 and 0.1 microg/L with the proposed method respectively, whereas those were 0.1 and 0.5 mg/L with conventional electrokinetic injection. The experiment results demonstrate that the proposed technique can increase the preconcentration factor evidently.

Abstract
The newly developed immobilized enzyme reactors (IMERs) with proteolytic enzymes chymotrypsin, trypsin or papain were used for specific fragmentation of high molecular-mass and heterogeneous glycoproteins immunoglobulin G (IgG) and crystallizable fragment of IgG (Fc). The efficiency of splitting or digestion were controlled by RP-HPLC. The specificity of digestion by trypsin reactor was controlled by MS. IMERs (trypsin immobilized on magnetic microparticles focused in a channel of magnetically active microfluidic device) was used for digestion of the whole IgG molecule. The sufficient conditions for IgG digestion in microfluidic device (flow rate, ratio S:E, pH, temperature) were optimized. It was confirmed that the combination of IMERs with microfluidic device enables efficient digestion of highly heterogeneous glycoproteins such as IgG in extremely short time and minimal reaction volume.

Abstract
A new preconcentration device was developed for analysis of proteins by capillary electrophoresis (CE). The microfluidic device uses an electric field to capture proteins that pass through the system. The capture zone is maintained in the flow stream by the interaction between hydrodynamic and electrical forces. The device consists of a flow channel made of PEEK tubing with two electrical junctions, each of which is covered with a conductive membrane. A syringe pump provides the flow stream and also allows the injection of up to 13.5 microL of a dilute sample. The system can be easily connected to a CE device postcapture for off-line preconcentration of proteins. For the proteins used in this study, preconcentration factors up to 40-fold can be achieved. CE detection limits for bovine carbonic anhydrase, alpha-lactalbumin and beta-lactoglobulins A and B were in the nanomolar range using UV detection at 200 nm. Preconcentration is dependent on both time and initial protein concentration. We show the possibility of using an off-line fluidic preconcentrator device employing counterflow capillary electrophoresis with minimum sample manipulation, achieving detection limits similar to on-line approaches.

Abstract
We have developed an automated large-volume sample stacking (LVSS) procedure to detect fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled peptides in the picomolar range. The injection duration is 10 min at 50 mbar to fill 62% of the capillary volume to the detection cell. The calculated limit of detection (S/N=3), filling 1% of the capillary volume, is 74 pM for bradykinin and 45 pM for L-enkephalin with samples diluted in water and analyzed in a 50 mM borate buffer, pH 9.2. With the automated LVSS system, the limits of detection are 7 pM for bradykinin, 3 pM for L-enkephalin and 2 pM for substance P. LVSS is shown to be quantitative from 500 to 10 pM.

Abstract
Five flavonoids (hyperoside, isoquercitrin, quercitrin, quercetin and rutin) were separated and determined in extracts of Hypericum perforatum leaves or flowers by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) with isotachophoretic (ITP) sample pre-treatment using on-line column coupling configuration. The background electrolyte (BGE) used in the CZE step was different from the leading and terminating ITP electrolytes but all the electrolytes contained 20% (v/v) of methanol. The optimal leading electrolyte was 10 mM HCl of pH* approximately 7.2 (adjusted with Tris) and the terminating electrolyte was 50 mM H3BO3 of pH* approximately 8.2 (adjusted with barium hydroxide). This operational system allowed to concentrate and pre-separate selectively the flavonoid fraction from other plant constituents before the introduction of the flavonoids into the CZE capillary. The BGE for the CZE step was 50 mM Tris buffer of pH* approximately 8.75 containing 25 mM N-[tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl]-3-aminopropanesulfonic acid as co-ion and 55 mM H3BO3 as complex-forming agent. The ITP-CZE method with spectrophotometric detection at 254 nm was suitable for the quantitation of the flavonoids in real natural samples; kaempferol was used as internal standard. The limit of detection for quercetin-3-O-glycosides was 100 ng ml(-1) and calibration curves were rectilinear in the range 1-10 microg ml (-1) for most of the analytes. The RSD values ranged between 0.9 and 2.7% (n=3) when determining approximately 0.07-1.2% of the individual flavonoids in dried medicinal plants.

Abstract
The article gives a comprehensive review on the recent developments in the applications of high-performance capillary electromigration methods, including zone electrophoresis, isotachophoresis, isoelectric focusing, affinity electrophoresis, electrokinetic chromatography and electrochromatography, to analysis, preparation and physicochemical characterization of peptides. The article presents new approaches to the theoretical description and experimental verification of electromigration behavior of peptides, and covers the methodological aspects of capillary electroseparations of peptides, such as strategy and rules for the rational selection of separation mode and experimental conditions, sample treatment, suppression of peptide adsorption to the inner capillary wall, new developments in individual separation modes and new designs of detection systems. Several types of applications of capillary electromigration methods to peptide analysis are presented: conventional qualitative and quantitative analysis for determination of purity, determination in biomatrices, monitoring of physical and chemical changes and enzymatic conversions, amino acid and sequence analysis and peptide mapping of proteins. Some examples of micropreparative peptide separations are given and capabilities of capillary electromigration techniques to provide important physicochemical characteristics of peptides are demonstrated.

Abstract
In order to increase our understanding of the mechanisms of learning and memory in the central nervous system, it is necessary to know the neurotransmitters and neuromodulators used in the specific neuronal circuits under study. Methods have been developed to identify the peptides released from single neurons and neuronal clusters from the common neuronal model Aplysia californica. Specifically, solid-phase extraction (SPE), capillary electrophoresis (CE) and matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) are combined for profiling neuropeptide releasates. A variety of combinations of SPE and CE were coupled off-line with MALDI-TOF-MS to reduce the high physiological salts, to concentrate the analytes, and to reduce the complexity of the mass spectra using separation. With these protocols, peptides and proteins up to 11000 Da were detected in releasates, offering a much wider mass range compared to direct MALDI analysis of the same releasates. A number of expected and unknown neuropeptides, including egg-laying hormone (ELH) and the partially processed delta/gamma-bag cell peptide were observed in the SPE-treated releasates from a single Aplysia-cultured bag cell neuron. However, by adding a CE separation after the SPE step preceding off-line MALDI-TOF-MS detection, the most complete neuropeptide profiles were obtained.

Abstract
This overview highlights the possibilities of on- or in-line preconcentration procedures in combination with a CZE separation, focused on the determination of peptides and proteins. The discussed methods, including sample stacking, field-amplified injection, isotachophoresis, solid phase extraction, membrane preconcentration, electroextraction, supported liquid membranes, hollow fibers, immunoaffinity, and molecularly imprinted polymers technology preconcentration are categorized in electrophoresis-based and chromatography-based preconcentration. The chromatography-based preconcentration is subdivided in low-specificity and high-specificity methods. A number of preconcentration methods are available, however, this paper demonstrates that various compounds in different media (aqueous solutions, urine, and plasma) require different preconcentration systems. The preconcentration techniques of first choice in general seem to be solid-phase extraction and membrane preconcentration, because of their high concentration ability, multiapplicability, relative simplicity and clean-up capability. For the future, hollow fibers seem to hold a great potential as preconcentration technique, yielding high concentration factors, using simple designs. New techniques, such as hollow fibers, molecularly imprinted polymers technology and supported liquid membranes may have the potential to supersede the conventional preconcentration techniques in some cases. The larger the arsenal of preconcentration techniques becomes, the more efficiently peptides and proteins may be analyzed in the future. These techniques, in some cases, require pre-cleanup procedures, to ensure the purity of the samples to concentrate.
