a multiple linear regression model is proposed to calculate capacity factor of  analytes using structural features computed using hyperchem software. the  chemical descriptors of analytes were computed using hyperchem software and  regressed against the experimental capacity factors of analytes collected from the  literature. the absolute average percentage deviation (aard) and individual perce...

The removal of disulfide oil (DSO) from contaminated soil was studied by the bioremediation method and the influence of electrokinetic on the bioremediation process was investigated. The bacillus subtilis strain was used in the bioremediation process. The effects of humidity, time and DSO concentration in soil was studied. The experimental results for the bioremediation of DSO show, the removal...

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...

There is current interest in finding sustainable remediation technologies for the removal of contaminants from soil and groundwater. This review focuses on the combination of electrokinetics, the use of an electric potential to move organic and inorganic compounds, or charged particles/organisms in the subsurface independent of hydraulic conductivity; and bioremediation, the destruction of orga...

Hybrid opto-electric manipulation in microfluidics/nanofluidics refers to a set of methodologies employing optical modulation of electrokinetic schemes to achieve particle or fluid manipulation at the micro- and nano-scale. Over the last decade, a set of methodologies, which differ in their modulation strategy and/or the length scale of operation, have emerged. These techniques offer new opport...

The popularity of micro-Total Analysis Systems (μ-TAS) is exponentially increasing, especially in the fields of medical and biological analyses. The work presented here includes 2-D separation of proteins in PMMA-based microchips. Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Capillary Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-CGE) and Micellar Electrokinetic Chromatography (MEKC) were used as the separation scheme for the first and ...

A simple and sensitive on-chip preconcentration, separation, and electrochemical detection (ED) method for the electrophoretic analysis of food dyes was developed. The microchip comprised of three parallel channels: the first two are for the field-amplified sample stacking (FASS) and subsequent field-amplified sample injection (FASI) steps, while the third one is for the micellar EKC with ED (M...
