Abstract: | A rapid, simple method is proposed here for the identification of the experimental conditions that lead to satisfactory preparative-scale isoelectric focusing enantiomer separations in continuous free-flow electrophoretic units. The method first calls for the use of a commercially available, full-column imaging capillary electrophoretic system to find the background electrolyte composition that generates the largest pI difference between the bands of the enantiomers. The method then calls for the finding of the minimum residence time that permits full development of the pH gradient across the separation chamber of the continuous free-flow electrophoretic unit by measuring the pH in the sample-free carrier electrolyte fractions collected during these runs. Finally, the quality of the predicted preparative-scale separation is verified by analyzing the enantiomer-containing collected fractions by capillary electrophoresis using a 14-sulfated, single-isomer cyclodextrin as resolving agent. The pI difference values and production rate values observed in this work agree well with the literature values that were obtained by much more time-consuming methods. |
