Capillary　electrophoresis　(CE)　and　capillary　electrochromatography　(CEC)　have　some　outstanding　advantages,　such　as　less　sample　consumption　and　high　separation　efficiency.　Coupled　with　different　detection　modes,　such　as　ultraviolet　detection,　laser-induced　fluorescence,　amperometry,　conductometry,　mass　spectrometry,　and　various　sample　preconcentration　methods,　CE　and　CEC　have　been　accepted　by　more　and　more　analysts　in　the　detections　of　pesticide　residues.　This　review　focuses　on　the　comparison　of　the　merits　and　demerits　of　various　detection　modes　in　pesticide　residue　detections.　The　preconcentration　methods　of　pesticide　residues　have　been　discussed　briefly　also.　Special　attention　has　been　paid　on　the　separation　and　detection　of　enantiomeric　pesticide　compounds.　Expectation　on　the　applications　of　CE　and　CEC　is　also　outlined.
