Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are synthetic materials with predetermined selectivity for a particular analyte or group of structure-linked chemicals which make them an ideal separation component. The process of developing and applying new types of MIPs in the field of environmental analytical chemistry has been broadly discussedi n many scientific studies in recent years. The use of new types of MIP sorbents as unique sorption materials in the stationary phase in the field of advanced separation techniques is one of the new trends in analytical chemistry practice. The capillary electrophoresis (CE) technique is characterized by high efficiency, low consumption of solvents and selectors, simple instrumentation, as well as short analysis time were applied in practical problem solving in chemical, pharmaceutical, biomedical, food, environmental, etc.. Capillary electrochromatography (CEC) employs the highseparation efficiency of capillary electrophoresis (CE) andhigh selectivity of high performance liquid chromatogra-phy (HPLC). Application of MIP for analytical scale separation in CE and CEC are becoming more popular than in LC nowadays due to the intrinsic character of high separation efficiency and minimized requirement of the amount of MIP template in CE and CEC.The following chapter contains comprehensive information about the application of specific and well defined MIPs in various formats as a sorption medium in CEC and CE separation techniques.
