  The Scientist : Capillary Electrophoresis: Automating A Valuable Technique
The history of capillary electrophoresis is tightly interwoven with that of gel electrophoresis.
Since the capillaries are so small (usually 10 to 100 centimeters in length, with an inner diameter of 50 to 100 microns), the Joule heat generated by the electric current is quickly dissipated.
Capillaries are coated with a polymer to minimize sample adsorption and electroendosmosis.
