Capillary Electrophoresis: the Newest Analytical Separation Technique
Capillary electrophoresis is the newest technique to enter the realm of separation science. The technique enables separations to be carried out with an electrolyte (mobile phase) that can be modified as in HPLC, to move peaks relative to each other. The use of electrolyte with organic solvent also enables the technique to be readily used for organic or inorganic compounds. The other major advantage is high efficiencies are obtained, 100,000 plates is common, with some separations as high as 1,400,000 plates and higher. This brings the separation technique in line with capillary GC as far as ...
