The analysis and characterization of lipids andwaxes is of great importance in the food industry, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry, in surfactant and detergent technology and in natural product research. Lipid analysts have always been on the forefront of developments in separation sciences and new techniques in chromatography have often been developed for the separation of lipids. The Rrst...

Sweeping is an enrichment method in MEKC, which includes following steps: stacking/destacking of the micelles, sweeping of analyte by the stacked/destacked micelles, destacking/stacking of the swept analyte zone and additional focusing/defocusing due to the retention factor gradient effect (RFGE). In this study, we investigate additional processes, regarding online focusing in cyclodextrin-modi...

The use of single capillaries (25 and 50 microm inner diameter (ID)) and coupled capillaries of different diameters (100-50 and 75-25 microm ID) based on micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) and sweeping-MEKC modes is compared and reported. Naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde (NDA)-derivatized dopamine was selected as the model compound by examining the fluorescence intensity when a viole...

Separation of twelve sympathomimetic amines and related compounds by micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) with UV absorbance detection is described. These amines were well separated within 25 min using 50 mM sodium tetraborate solution containing 15 mM sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) of pH 9.3 as a running solution and detected at 210 nm. MEKC was performed with an applied voltage of 13 kV...

A new method based on partial filling micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) for the quantitative determination of Sudan dyes (I, II, III, and IV) in chilli sauces is presented. The separation is achieved filling 25% of the capillary with a MEKC buffer composed of 40 mM NH(4)HCO(3), 25 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate, and 32.5% (v/v) acetonitrile (ACN). The rest of the capillary is filled usin...

The choice between bare and coated capillaries is a key decision in the development and use of any methods based on capillary electrophoresis. In this work several permanently and dynamically coated capillaries were successfully implemented in a previously developed micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) assay of the plant membrane enzyme chlorophyllase. The results obtained demonstrate ...

We developed moment analysis of affinity kinetics by chromatographic capillary electrophoresis (MKCCE) method for the kinetic study of intermolecular interactions. Association and dissociation rate constants of the interaction in a micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) system between thymol and sodium dodecylsulfate micelle were determined by the MKCCE method. It is a method based on th...
