The characterization of alcohol-ethoxylate substances is a significant challenge in analytical science. Their importance in industry and society makes it necessary to have methods for their rapid, reliable characterization and quantification. This overview highlights the instrumental separation techniques for their analysis chromatographic (e.g., gas, liquid and supercritical fluid chromatography) and electrophoretic (e.g., capillary, gel, capillary zone, and non-aqueous capillary electrophoresis and micellar electrokinetic chromatography). We summarize and explain analytical parameters for their characterization. We include selected references and examples to show the appropriateness of instrumental separation techniques for the analytical characterization of alcohol-ethoxylate substances.
