This review highlights on-line sample preconcentration by large-volume sample stacking with an electroosmotic flow pump (LVSEP) in microscale electrophoresis. LVSEP requires only a hydrodynamic sample injection into the whole capillary/microchannel and a constant voltage application, i.e., without polarity switching, providing an efficient sensitivity enhancement with a relatively easy experime...

An overview is given of the possible applications of nanotechnology to optimise existing separation methods and to enable new methods. Attention is paid to nanotechnological contributions in the fields of HPLC, CEC, sieves, Brownian ratchets and preconcentration units. A brief description is also given of some selection/separation mechanisms that occur in biological (cell) structures and possib...

This work assesses the use of modified natural natrolite zeolite as an adsorptive material for the separation and preconcentration of trace amounts of ions. In this work we investigated the potential of modified natural natrolite zeolite for the simultaneous separation and preconcentration of trace amounts of copper and zinc ions. We have developed a simple, rapid, selective, sensitive and econ...

A solid phase extraction procedure for simultaneous separation and preconcentration of traceamounts of Cu+2 ion from various real samples prior to its determination by flame atomicabsorption spectrometry has been developed. The proposed method is based on the utilization ofmultiwalled carbon nanotube in combination with Cupferron ligand as a solid phaseextractant. The influences of the analytic...

DOI: 10.1002/elps.202000086 The cover picture shows the determination of four alkyl sulfate (AS) surfactants (C14, C12, C10, and C8) by capillary electrophoresis (CE) after preconcentration simultaneous adsorption AS on Al2O3 surface. EOF electroosmotic flow (EOF) at high pH pushes move to contactless conductivity detector (C4D). electropherograms show separation in order C14, C8.

The highest concentration of aluminium (Al) in human blood has toxic effect and so, extraction from human body is very important. In this procedure, an efficient and new method based on graphene oxide nanoparticles (GONPs) dispersed in ionic liquid (IL) was used for in-vitro separation/extraction of trace Al from the blood of dialysis patients by ultrasound assisted-dispersive-micro solid phase...

We present a theoretical and experimental study of analyte preconcentration via peak mode isotachophoresis (ITP). We perform perturbation analysis of the governing equations that includes electromigration, diffusion, buffer reactions, and nonlinear ionic strength effects. This analysis relaxes the inherent numerical stiffness and achieves a fast solution to the transient sample evolution proble...

Microchip electrophoresis (MCE) has been advanced remarkably by the applications of several separation modes and the integration with several chemical operations on a single planer substrate. MCE shows superior analytical performance, e.g., high-speed analysis, high resolution, low consumption of reagents, and so on, whereas low-concentration sensitivity is still one of the major problems. To o...

The rapidly growing field of biotechnology has created a critical need for simple, fast andhigh-throughput processes for the separation and purification of biomolecules from biologicalmatrices. In recent years, several bioseparation techniques have been proposed as advancedalternatives to the classical separation methods. These modern processes emphasize ultrahighselective and sensitive analysi...

We present a method to achieve separation and indirect detection of nonfluorescent species using fluorescent mobility markers. This technique leverages isotachophoresis (ITP) for both preconcentration and separation. We employ a leading electrolyte (LE), trailing electrolyte (TE), and a set of fluorescent markers of mobilities designed to bound those of nonfluorescent analytes of interest. Fluo...
