Oroxylum indicum Seeds—Analysis of Flavonoids by Micellar Electrokinetic Chromatography

Oroxylum indicum Seeds—Analysis of Flavonoids by Micellar Electrokinetic Chromatography

Flavonoids are bioactive constituents in Oroxylum indicum seeds, an Asian traditional remedy used for the treatment of respiratory infections. In this study the first capillary electrophoretic method for their determination is presented. By using a 25 mM borax buffer at pH 9.2 containing 10 mM SDS as detergent, the determination of seven flavonoids was feasible in only 13 min. Method validation...

Twenty-five years of micellar electrokinetic chromatography

Micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC), which can separate neutral analytes as well as charged analytes by the capillary electrophoretic technique, was developed in 1982 and the first paper was published in 1984. The authors’ group concentrated their effort into the characterization of MEKC as a separation technique until early 1990s. Most issues in MEKC separations were successfully sol...

Separation of dithiocarbamate metal complexes by micellar electrokinetic chromatography

Separation of a number of transition metal complexes with bis(2-hydroxyethyl)dithiocarbamate (HEDTC) by micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC) with direct photometric detection was investigated. Pre-capillary complexation was shown to be superior to on-capillary complexation in terms of the number of metals ions which could be detected and their peak shapes, enabling analysis o...

Retention indices in micellar electrokinetic chromatography

The use o f retent ion indices in mice l la r electrokinet ic ch roma tog raphy ( M E K C ) is eva lua ted both f rom a theoretical and a practical point o f view. F undamen t a l equa t ions for the de te rmina t ion o f retent ion indices in M E K C are descr ibed, showing that re tent ion indices are independen t o f the surfac tant concentra t ion.
