Capillary electrophoresis in which the background electrolyte contains substances capable of specific, often biospecific, interactions with the analytes.

Note: Biospecific compounds can be already in the sample (receptor-acceptor formation under applied electric field, or the bioselective compounds may be attached on the capillary inner wall before the analysis starts. They are bound covalently or dynamically on the surface.
