Study objectives: The aim of this paper is to share the experience of the Geneva University Hospitals' pharmacy regarding the establishment of capillary electrophoresis in the quality control laboratory. Methods: Six capillary electrophoresis methods have been developed to quantify pharmaceuticals contained in more than 20 different formulations produced by the hospital pharmacy. Results: All developed capillary electrophoresis methods exhibited good performance with the following main advantages:low organic solvent consumption, low cost (of capillary) and rapid development. Conclusion: Capillary electrophoresis, a complementary technique to liquid chromatography, appears as a very attractive alternative for quality control of formulation produced in hospital pharmacy.
