In the field of metabolomics, CE-MS is now recognized as a strong analytical technique for the analysis of (highly) polar and charged metabolites in a wide range of biological samples. Over the past few years, significant attention has been paid to the design and improvement of CE-MS approaches for (large-scale) metabolic profiling studies and for establishing protocols in order to further expand the role of CE-MS in metabolomics. In this paper, which is a follow-up of a previous review paper covering the years 2014-2016 (Electrophoresis 2017, 38, 190-202), main advances in CE-MS approaches for metabolomics studies are outlined covering the literature from July 2016 to June 2018. Aspects like developments in interfacing designs and data analysis tools for improving the performance of CE-MS for metabolomics are discussed. Representative examples highlight the utility of CE-MS in the fields of biomedical, clinical, microbial, and plant metabolomics. A complete overview of recent CE-MS-based metabolomics studies is given in a table, which provides information on sample type and pretreatment, capillary coatings and MS detection mode. Finally, some general conclusions and perspectives are given.

Mass spectrometry (MS)-based metabolomics often rely on separation techniques when analyzing complex biological specimens to improve method resolution, metabolome coverage, quantitative performance, and/or unknown identification. However, low sample throughput and complicated data preprocessing procedures remain major barriers to affordable metabolomic studies that are scalable to large populations. Herein, we introduce PeakMeister as a new software tool in the R statistical environment to enable standardized processing of serum metabolomic data acquired by multisegment injection-capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (MSI-CE-MS), a high-throughput separation platform (<4 min/sample) which takes advantage of a serial injection format of 13 samples within a single analytical run.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on analyzing the polyphenol content, specifically free flavonoids, in the bran of a new red sorghum variety (RILN-156) compared to other commercial varieties, using a process that removes the bran.
- Various methods, including colorimetric techniques and advanced metabolomics (LC/MS and CE/MS), were used to quantify different polyphenolic components and identify 19 flavonoids, with galangin and daidzein being the most abundant.
- The results indicated that RILN-156 has a higher concentration of polyphenolic content and antioxidant capacity than the other varieties, suggesting its potential for industrial use and further health-related research.

Capillary electrophoresis coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (CE-MS/MS) offers advantages in peak capacity and sensitivity for metabolic profiling owing to the electroosmotic flow-based separation. However, the utilization of data-independent MS/MS acquisition (DIA) is restricted due to the absence of an optimal procedure for analytical chemistry and its related informatics framework. We assessed the mass spectral quality using two DIA techniques, namely, all-ion fragmentation (AIF) and variable DIA (vDIA), to isolate 60-800 Da precursor ions with respect to annotation rates.
