Capillary electromigration techniques can be understood as the ones used to separate neutral compounds, solvated ions and ionized species, considering the differentiated migration among them when an electrical field is applied within a capillary column filled with a background electrolyte. Several existing capillary electrophoresis setups provide the possibility of developing reliable quantitative assays of inorganic ions, organic acids, fatty acids, amino acids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, proteins, hormones, vitamins, macromolecules, and more. Therefore, given the chemical complexity of bodily fluid matrices, capillary electrophoresis (CE) and its variations present themselves as an advantageous strategy for enhancing traditional clinical diagnostic methods and for the development of new ones. The recent advances in the study of the human metabolome associated with technological improvements towards medical applications make CE a very useful and versatile technique for clinical laboratory assays. Within this context, this review has the purpose of presenting some traditional methods used for exams of blood, urine, saliva, feces, and sweat, and how CE can be implemented as a real alternative to enable faster, automated, and cost-effective analysis with a comprehensive perspective that shall result in better diagnostic possibilities for patients, being a powerful tool for helping physicians on the precision medicine achievements. compounds species electrolyte acids carbohydrates proteins hormones vitamins macromolecules more Therefore matrices (CE context blood urine saliva feces sweat faster automated costeffective cost effective patients achievements

A newly analytical method has been developed to determine total chromium and speciation of this element in water samples through dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction combined with a high-resolution continuum source flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The most significant variables affecting complexation and extraction were optimized by using response surface methodology and univariate optimization. The best conditions for both the complexation and extraction elements in this study were: complexing agent ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC 6.0 mmol L-1); pH at 2.0 (CrVI) and at 7.0 (Cr total); NaCl (5% m/v); 1-undecanol (50 µL) and ethanol 300 (CrIV) and 275 µL (total Cr). Under optimal conditions, this method resulted in a 20-100 µg L-1 linear range for CrVI and total chromium, detection limits of 0.35 (CrVI) and 6.7 µg L-1 (total Cr), as well as enriching factor of 26 (CrVI) and 19 for total Cr. The method accuracy was carried out by using certified water reference material (NIST CRM 1643e), and the results achieved were in agreement with the certified value (t-test at a confidence interval of 95%). The method developed was applied in samples of mineral water, tap water (the recovery values ranged from 88 to 115%) and seawater.
