Abstract: | Carbon nanotubes are among the plethora of novel nanostructures developed since the 1980s. Nanotubes have attracted considerable
interest by the scientific community thanks to their extraordinary physical and chemical properties. Research areas have flourished
in recent years and now include the nano-electronic, (bio)sensor and analytical field along with many others. This review
covers applications of carbon nanotubes in capillary electrophoresis, capillary electrochromatography and microchip electrophoresis.
First, carbon nanotubes and a range of electrophoretic techniques are briefly introduced and key references are mentioned.
Next, a comprehensive survey of achievements in the field is presented and critically assessed. The merits and downsides of
carbon nanotube addition to the various capillary electrophoretic modes are addressed. The different schemes for fabricating
electrochromatographic stationary phases based on carbon nanotubes are discussed. Finally, some future perspectives are offered.
