A method was developed for the separation of CdII, PbII, PtII, CoII, NiII, BiIII, CrII, CuII and HgII bis(2-hydroxyethyl)dithiocarbamate (HEDTC) complexes by micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography. The complexes were formed by pre-capillary reaction of the metal ions with an excess of the ligand and then separated using a 100 mm borate buffer (pH 9.2) containing 4% methanol (v/v), 10 ...

In this study, two capillary electrophoresis modes, capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC), were employed for the examination of gel ink fingerprints. The optimized CZE conditions were as follows: running buffer, 0.2M boric acid and 0.05M sodium tetraborate; pH, 6.47; detection, 214 nm; separation voltage, 20 kV MEKC conditions were as follows: 20...

Two separation modes of capillary electrophoresis (CE): capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC) were used for toxicological analysis of blood samples and pharmaceutical preparations. These two techniques were tested on commonly used phenothiazines (PHE) and tricyclic antidepressants (TCA), which are drugs of forensic interest. The analyti...

A rapid multiresidue method has been developed for the analysis of seven phenylurea herbicides in the presence of two s-triazines in environmental waters. A simple end-column electrochemical detector was used in combination with a commercially-available capillary electrophoresis instrument with UV detection. The determination of phenylurea pesticides using micellar electrokinetic capillary chro...

In contrast to capillary zone electrophoresis, micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography can be applied to the determination of compounds that are uncharged and almost insoluble in water. As a screening parameter, the pseudo-effective mobility is to be preferred to the capacity factor k’ because it can be calculated if tMc is unknown, and because it gives a better indication of whether c...

Aminoglycoside antibiotics can be determined by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) with indirect UV detection in the anionic mode with a reversed electroosmotic flow (EOF) by addition of FC 135 to the background electrolyte. The effective mobilities of thirteen aminoglycoside antibiotics were determined as a function of pH. Applying CZE with indirect UV detection in the anionic mode and rever...

In this study, micelles prepared from distearoylphosphatidylethanolamine with covalently attached poly(ethylene) glycol) (PEG) of molecular weight 2000 (DSPE-PEG-2000) were employed in micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) as pseudostationary phases. Since DSPE-PEG-2000 contains long hydrophobic alkyl chains, an anionic phosphate group, and hydrophilic PEG chains, the prepared micelles ...

The suitability of micellar electrokinetic chromatography for the simultaneous trace determination of several compounds (sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim, sulfanilic acid, sulfanilamide, 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid and nonoxynol-9) was assessed. The mixture was separated within 14min at an applied voltage of 22kV by using 30mM phosphate electrolyte, containing 10mM SDS, adjusted to pH 7.8. Under...
