Conductivity detection in capillary electrophoresis

Among electrochemical detection methods in capillary electrophoresis, conductometric methods are of specific interest for the determination of inorganic species. This is due to the fact that inorganic ions exhibit a high equivalent conductivity which corresponds to the analytical signal in conductivity detection. Indirect optical absorption methods, which are widely used in capillary electrophoretic ion analyses, become less sensitive with smaller capillary dimensions and thus have disadvantages in electrokinetic chip separation technologies.Conductivity detection for capillary electrophoresis is performed either through galvanic contact or in a contactless mode. Techniques using a galvanic contact of the sample ions with the measuring electrode are performed either on-capillary without decoupling of the separation high voltage, or off-capillary after grounding the separation voltage in order to avoid interferences. This technology is specifically important when a suppressor is used prior to detection. Most contactless methods use oscillometric techniques in order to obtain the analytical signal.This review discusses the theoretical and instrumental background of conductivity detection in capillary electrophoresis and reports on recent aspects and applications using conductometric detection methods for capillary zone electrophoresis.

Solid phase extraction for the speciation and preconcentration of inorganic selenium in water samples: A review

Selenium is an essential element for the normal cellular function of living organisms. However, selenium is toxic at concentrations of only three to five times higher than the essential concentration. The inorganic forms (mainly selenite and selenate) present in environmental water generally exhibit higher toxicity (up to 40 times) than organic forms. Therefore, the determination of low levels of different inorganic selenium species in water is an analytical challenge. Solid-phase extraction has been used as a separation and/or preconcentration technique prior to the determination of selenium species due to the need for accurate measurements for Se species in water at extremely low levels. The present paper provides a critical review of the published methods for inorganic selenium speciation in water samples using solid phase extraction as a preconcentration procedure. On the basis of more than 75 references, the different speciation strategies used for this task have been highlighted and classified. The solid-phase extraction sorbents and the performance and analytical characteristics of the developed methods for Se speciation are also discussed.

Comparison of ion chromatography and capillary electrophoresis for the determination of inorganic ions

The techniques of ion chromatography and capillary electrophoresis are compared as analytical methods for the determination of inorganic anions and cations. Comparison is made in the areas of stage of development, separation efficiency, separation selectivity, analytical performance parameters, method development procedures, applications, strenghts and weaknesses, and future directions. It is shown that the two techniques are complementary rather than competitive, especially with regard to their separation selectivities and the type of applications to which they are most suited.

Spectral-isotopic method of determination of gas-forming elements in organic and inorganic substances

A review is given of the latest papers on the application of the spectral-isotopic method of determination of gas-forming impurities in organic and inorganic materials. Main attention is paid to a new kind of investigation, i.e. the development of spectroscopic methods for isotopic analyses of nitrogen, carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen in biological objects for use in analytical monitoring in biological experiments with “tracers”. A universal method is described for the preparation of natural samples, for the separation of the gases to be analyzed from the sample, and for their purification from the impurities. The main characteristics are given of the methods for individual determination of the above elements and for joint analyses of some elements (N¹⁵-C¹³-H²) in one analytical cycle (spectrum excitation conditions, isotope concentration calculations, etc.). The characteristics of the methods have been compared with the results of other researches and the scope of our method for applications in biological investigations with tracers has been defined. The main results of spectral-isotopic method development in the traditional direction, i.e. for quantitative analysis of impurities in solid inorganic materials and for gas analysis, are produced.
