Poly(methacrylic acid-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) monolith in-tube solid-phase microextraction applied to simultaneous analysis of some amphetamine derivatives in urine by capillary zone electrophoresis

A method based on in-tube solid-phase microextraction and capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) was proposed for simultaneously determining four amphetamines (amphetamine, methamphetamine, 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine, and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) in urine. A poly(methacrylic acid-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) monolithic capillary column, which can provide sufficient extraction efficiency, was introduced for the extraction of amphetamines from urine samples. The hydrophobic main chains and acidic pendant groups of the monolithic column make it a superior material for extraction of basic analytes from aqueous matrix. After extraction, the samples were analyzed by CZE. The best separation was achieved using a buffer composed of 0.1 M disodium hydrogen phosphate (adjusted to pH 4.5 with 1 M hydrochloric acid) and 20% methanol v/v, with a temperature and voltage of 25 degrees C and 20 kV, respectively. By applying electrokinetic injection with field-amplified sample stacking, detection limits of 25-34 microg/L were achieved. Excellent method of reproducibility was found over a linear range of 0.1-5 mg/L. Determination of these analytes from abusers' urine sample was also demonstrated.     

Stochastic simulation of reactive separations in capillary electrophoresis

A stochastic (Monte Carlo) simulation is used to investigate thermodynamic and kinetic contributions from the reversible A <--> B reaction in capillary electrophoresis (CE). The effects of equilibrium constant, rate constant, and electrophoretic mobility on the molecular zone profiles and the corresponding statistical moments are evaluated. As the reaction approaches steady state, the velocity of the zone is governed by the equilibrium constant and the electrophoretic mobilities of the reacting molecules. When the equilibrium constant is less than unity, the mean zone velocity is more similar to that of the reactant A. Conversely, when the equilibrium constant is greater than unity, the velocity is more similar to that of the product B. The extent of zone-broadening and asymmetry at steady state is dependent upon the equilibrium constant, the characteristic reaction lifetime, and the electrophoretic mobility difference between reacting molecules. If all other parameters are held constant, the plate height is greatest and skew is least when the equilibrium constant is unity. The plate height increases linearly with the characteristic reaction lifetime and electrophoretic mobility difference, whereas the skew is independent of these parameters. These conclusions have important implications for the elucidation of thermodynamic and kinetic information from experimental data.

New integrated measurement protocol using capillary electrophoresis instrumentation for the determination of viscosity, conductivity and absorbance of ionic liquid-molecular solvent mixtures

The low vapor pressure and the versatility of the physico-chemical properties of ionic liquids make them really attractive as an alternative for conventional molecular solvents. The knowledge of their physico-chemical properties (viscosity, conductivity, miscibility with organic solvents and anion-cation interactions) has appeared mandatory for better targeting their applications, although it is generally still lacking or incomplete.This work promotes capillary electrophoresis instrumentation as an integrated apparatus for measurement of viscosity, conductivity and absorbance of pure ionic liquids and ionic liquid-molecular solvent mixtures. Compared to current conventional techniques, the assets of this instrumentation for this purpose are the combined availability of a pressure delivery system, power supply, diode array absorbance detector and thermoregulation device, allowing unattended, automatic and easy operation, involving minimum sample handling. Most importantly, the required sample volume can be reduced to about 50 μL, making this protocol very cost-effective. A protocol was optimized with respect to time, sample consumption and data reliability for the determination of these physico-chemical parameters. Ionic liquids selected for method development and validation differed in the nature of their cation (butyl- and ethyl-methylimidazolium) and anion (trifluoromethanesulfonate and bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide). Various molecular solvents were mixed with these ionic liquids (acetonitrile, methanol, dimethylformamide and trifluoroethanol) and the same physico-chemical properties were determined by optimized methods. The knowledge of these data should be of great support in various application areas, including the development of new separation media for capillary electrophoresis and chromatographic techniques.     

Miniaturization of separation techniques using planar chip technology

Miniaturization of separation columns implies equally reduced vol- umes of injectors, detectors, and the connecting channels. Planar chip technology provides a powerful means for the fabrication of micron-sized structures such as channels. This is demonstrated by two examples. An optical absorbance detector chip exhibits the expected behavior of a 1 mm optical path length cell despite its volume of 1 nL. A capillary electrophoresis device allows integrated injections of 100 pL samples, efficiencies of 70,000 to 160,000 theoretical plates in 10 to 20 seconds, and external laser-induced fluorescence detection at any capillary length of choice between 5 and 50 mm.     

Determination of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (amitrole) in environmental waters by capillary electrophoresis

3-Amino-1,2,4-triazole (amitrole) is a widely used pesticide, with many difficulties to be analyzed at the regulatory level in drinking water, because its high solubility in water. This paper describes a simple and fast method for the simultaneous determination of amitrole and atrazin-2-hydroxy, principal degradation product of s-triazines, by capillary zone electrophoresis. Separation and determination of these herbicides in water samples was performed in 0.02 mol l⁻¹ phosphate buffer at pH 3.2. The method allows determination of the amitrole and atrazin-2-hydroxy in water samples in concentration lower than 100 μg l⁻¹. The detection limits using a previous preconcentration step of amitrole in Alberche River (Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain) and drinking water spiked samples was of 4 μg l⁻¹.     

Determination of terbinafine in pharmaceuticals and dialyzates by capillary electrophoresis

A capillary electrophoresis method has been developed for the separation and determination of terbinafine (TER) in various pharmaceutically relevant matrices. Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) separation and UV absorbance photometric detection were carried out in a 160 mm capillary tube with a 300 μm i.d., hydrodynamically (membrane) closed. The influences of pH, carrier cation and counterion on migration parameters of TER were studied and the following conditions were selected: a 20 mmol l⁻¹ glycine running buffer adjusted to pH 2.7 with acetic acid, 0.2% (w/v) methylhydroxyethylcellulose (m-HEC) as an electro-osmotic flow (EOF) suppressor, a 250 μA driving current, and 20 °C. The optimized separation conditions were convenient for the determination of TER in commercial tablets and spray and in dialyzates. Here, the dialysis was used to investigate in vitro permeation of TER through the skin from the gel. The samples of dialyzates were examined with and without simple extraction procedure and the results were compared. A permeation profile of the drug present in the gel of given composition was obtained analyzing pretreated samples. The proposed electrophoretic method was successfully validated. It was suitable for the simple, sensitive, rapid and highly reproducible assay of TER. CZE analysis was completed within 5.5 min. The detection limit of TER was 1.73 μmol l⁻¹ at a 224 nm detection wavelength. The intra- and inter-laboratory precisions over the concentration range 6.0-60.0 μmol l⁻¹ were between 0.32-0.69% and 1.04-1.44% including R.S.D. of migration times and peak areas, respectively. The mean absolute recoveries of drugs from samples were found to be 98.34 (tablets) and 99.47% (spray). It is suggested that there are potentialities to determine TER present in unpretreated complex samples, as CZE in a hydrodynamically closed separation system may be easily on-line combinable with purification and preconcentration CE modes (e.g., isotachophoresis, ITP).     

Separation and Determination of Clenbuterol,Cimaterol and Salbutamol by Capillary Electrophoresis with Amperometric Detection

Capillary electrophoresis with amperometric detection was applied to determine some β₂‐agonists, such as clenbuterol, cimaterol and salbutamol in this paper. The working electrode used was a 0.3 mm diameter carbon disk electrode. In this work, the pH 6.0–6.4 borax‐potassium dihydrogen phosphate was used as running buffer (150 mmol/L), 10 kV as the separation voltage and 1.05 V (vs. Ag/AgCl, 3 mol/L KCl) as the detection potential. Under the optimum conditions, the analytes were baseline separated within 16 min. Linear range for cimaterol, clenbuterol and salbutamol was 1.0–2000, 2.0–2000 and 1.0–2000 ng/mL, respectively. The detection limits (define as 3σ/k) were 0.5, 1.0 and 0.4 ng/mL for cimaterol, clenbuterol and salbutamol, respectively. The developed method has been applied to determine these three analytes in feed and urine by standard addition. The mean recoveries for these three analytes ranged from 89.0% to 102.0%.
