毛細管電泳是一種新的分析技術，由於它的準確性高、解析度高及分析速度快及易於自動化操作，目前已漸應用於生物醫學研究、臨床診斷、藥物分析、食品分析及環境污染之監控。本文專就藥物分析上之應用，依藥物之藥理作用為分類將目前毛細管電泳在藥物分析之應用上共計較為重要之文獻共７２篇，作一綜合之歸納，以幫助讀者在方法的取捨上作為參攷。

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a new analytical technique that has been applied to many fields including biomedical technology, clinical diagnosis, pharmaceutical drug analysis, food science, and environmental analysis. This article reviews the use of CE in the analysis of drugs, with the drugs being categorized by their major mode of pharmacological action. From selected paper, methods are brief described. These descriptions include the mode of CE, the composition of the running buffer, detection methods, sample preparation and running conditions.
