Method Development of Enantiomer Separations by Affinity Capillary Electrophoresis,Cyclodextrin Electrokinetic Chromatography and Capillary Electrophoresis-Mass Spectrometry

 Capillary electrophoresis (CE) has become a powerful tool for enantiomer separations during the last decade. Since 1993, the author has investigated enantiomer separations by affinity capillary electrophoresis (affinity CE) with some proteins and by cyclodextrin electrokinetic chromatography (CDEKC) with some charged cyclodextrins (CDs). Many successful enantiomer separations are demonstrated from our study in this review article. In the enantiomer separations by affinity CE, the deterioration of detection

Capillary electrophoretic study on UDP-sugars in cells

Glucose is an important regulator of cell growth and metabolism. Uridine diphosphate sugars (UDP-sugars), as the intermediate products of metabolism, play pivotal roles as precursors in the synthesis of complex carbohydrates and glycolipids as well as lectose. It is very important to study their metabolism in cells in clinical biochemistry. A capillary electrophoretic method has been developed for the analysis of UDP-sugars and nucleotides. By using an uncoated capillary (70cm×50μm) and 20 mmol/L borax buffer (pH 9), 4 important UDP-sugars can be analyzed in 15 min at 22 kV with satisfactory precision and sensitivity. The developed method has been applied to analyze UDP-sugars concentrations in lymphocytes, fibroblasts and mesangial cells, and the results show it not only is much better than HPLC method, but also can be used to measure the energy charge of cells.

Separation of Peptides by Pressurized Capillary Electrochromatography

A novel gradient pressurized capillary electrochromatography (pCEC) instrument was developed to separate peptides.Two gradient elution modes,hydrophobic and hydrophilic interaction mode in pCEC,were performed on this instrument.Baseline separation of six peptides was obtained on two gradient modes with C18 column and strong cationic exchange column respectively.The effects of mixer volume and total frow rate of pumps on resolution were also discussed.     

Determination of Thyroxine with Capillary Electrophoretic Enzyme Immunoassay

Capillary electrophoretic immunoassay (CEIA) is a new analytical technique1,2. In CEIA, the detection methods were UV absorbance detection1 and laser induced fluorescence detection (LIF)2. However, The UV detection is lack of sensitivity. The LIF is difficult to use due to its high cost, and furthermore, most biological fluids are strongly luminescent when excited by the laser in the blue or green region of the spectrum. In our present work, a capillary electrophoretic enzyme immuno…

Separation of Aniline Derivatives by Micellar Electrokinetic Capillary Chromatography

A micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC) was developed for the determination of aniline and 6 substituted anilines. The seven components were separated within 25min in the buffer solution of 40mmol/L sodium borate and 100mmol/L SDS. It was found that the separation was dependent on operating voltage, pH value, borate and SDS concentrations.The analytical performance was examined in terms of linear response and reproducibility.Wastewater was determined by the established method.

Capillary electrophoresis – a useful tool in speciation investigations

1. CE is shown as a tool for a more-dimensional identification of organic metal binding partners. Methods are given for a further improvement of the identification security of the organic ligands [1], when analyzing molecules of nearly equal mobility. CE is used here as a powerful tool for quality assurance and quality control in speciation investigations.2. Methods are presented for a direct separation and identification of different species. As an example, seleno organo compounds are separated from their sulphur analogues in model solutions and native samples. Standard addition methods [1, 2] as well as UV spectra of both species help to identify these molecules as seleno- or sulphur-organo compounds. Further methodological developments and separations are shown for Pt-compounds.     

Capillary zone electrophoresis in phosphate buffer--known or unknown?

It has been shown recently that the analysis records in capillary electrophoresis may involve regions with extremely strong electromigration dispersion of peaks. Such a fundamental effect is due to the existence of more centers of symmetry in a given electrolyte system. This paper shows that even such a simple and frequently used electrolyte system as phosphate buffer may exhibit more than one center of symmetry. By using the peak shape diagram approach we have revealed that neutral and alkaline phosphate buffers have two centers of symmetry and one center of extreme dispersion. Model experiments confirmed this new important discovery.
