%X Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a well-established analytical separation technique. Owing to its high
versatility, major advancements have been made with regard to the instrumental set-ups during the
last years. New strategies have been proposed to develop high-sensitive methods, portable CE or miniaturized
devices. These techniques are of great interest in the analysis of explosives, which generally
requires a highly selective approach. This review provides a recent perspective (from the beginning of
2008 to March 2015) on the use of CE for the analysis of explosives. First, a general description of
explosives is made, emphasizing the role of separation techniques and specifically CE. Next, the most
recent works focused on the analysis of explosives by using conventional CE, portable CE and microchip
CE are compared and critically discussed. Besides, other emerging techniques for the analysis of explosives
are referred and compared to CE results. Finally, future perspectives for the analysis of explosives
by CE are proposed.
