Recent progress in capillary ITP
ITP has been attracting constant attention for many years due to its principal capability to concentrate trace analytes by several orders of magnitude. In the current capillary format, it is able to concentrate trace analytes diluted to several microliters of an original sample into concentrated zones having volumes in the range of picoliters. Due to this reason, ITP holds an important position in many current multistage and multidimensional separation schemes. This article links up previous reviews on the topic and summarizes the progress of analytical capillary ITP since 2002. Almost 100 papers are reviewed that include methodological novelties, instrumental aspects, and analytical applications. Papers using ITP and/or isotachophoretic principles as part of multistage and/or multidimensional separation schemes are also included.
