A simple micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) method for the simultaneous determination of 2-furfural (2-F), 3-furfural (3-F), 5-methylfurfural (5-MF), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), 2-furoic acid (2-FA) and 3-furoic acid (3-FA) in honey and vegetable oils is described. Parameters affecting the separation such as pH, buffer and surfactant concentrations, applied voltage, capillary te...

short timeframe, and rapid approaches are needed to assess log Pow values of these compounds (2,4,7). Several separation-based approaches for indirectly determining log Pow values in a rapid fashion have been reported, including reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (2,3,8–11), thin-layer chromatography (12,13), micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) (7,14–16), and...

In this study, an on-line stacking capillary electrophoresis (CE) method, reverse-mode field amplified sample injection equipped with sweeping micellar electrokinetic chromatography (RMFASI-sweeping MEKC), was established for direct determination of uroporphyrin and coproporphyrin in human urine. Porphyrins playing a very important role in the biosynthesis of heme, chlorophyll and other importa...

The belief that pure single enantiomers would provide safer and more effective alternatives to racemates, has resulted in a greater stress on the evaluation and development of single isomers as drug products. Almost half of the drugs in use today are chiral. It is well established that the pharmacological activity is mostly restricted to one of the enantiomers and the individual enantiomers of ...

The influence of surfactant hydrocarbon tail on the solute/pseudostationary phase interactions was examined. Four anionic sulfated surfactants with 8-, 9-, 10-, and 11-carbon chains having a polymerizable double bond at the end of the hydrocarbon chain were synthesized and characterized before and after polymerization. The critical micelle concentration (CMC), polarity, and aggregation number o...

A wide-ranging overview of room temperature phosphorescence in the liquid state (RTPL1) is presented, with a focus on recent developments. RTPL techniques like micelle-stabilized (MS)-RTP, cyclodextrin-induced (CD)-RTP, and heavy atom-induced (HAI)-RTP are discussed. These techniques are mainly applied in the stand-alone format, but coupling with some separation techniques appears to be feasibl...
