Low chance to get it right the first time. X Separation of analytes more difficult to predict and optimize than HPLC. X Sample matrix has large impact on the separation (invisible system peaks, sample zone properties modulate peak shape and separation). X Fused silica was not reproducible X DtDeparture of big players from the CE markktet after 8-10 years • Did not meet customer expectations and metrics full 100% X Sensitivity in UV-VIS detection (best case 1-10 ppm) X Quantitative reproducibility X Overall Robustness • Not enough “visionaries” – no critical mass among “pragmatists” X Initially not an approved official method (USP, EP, FDA) ©Agilent Technologies Presentation at HPLC'2009 10 7/6/2009 HPLC’2009 Market size and projections in 2006* *Global Assessment Report 2006 Strategic Directions Inc. ©Agilent Technologies Presentation at HPLC'2009 11 7/6/2009 Current Trends in Capillary Electrophoresis New “Bowling Pins”? ©Agilent Technologies Presentation at HPLC'2009 12 7/6/2009 HPLC’2009 CE New “Bowling Pins” • Biotechnology X “with over one third of all pipe-line products in active development are biopharmaceuticals”.

In March 2008, major recalls of heparin were announced by the FDA. According to the FDA, contaminated heparin killed 81 people in the United States. The contaminant was identified as an "over‐sulphated" derivative of chondroitin sulfate, a popular shellfish‐derived supplement often used for arthritis. Heparin is a member of the glycosaminoglycan family of carbohydrates (GAGs). It is a ppyolydisp erse oligomer, average MW 12‐15 kD.
