Abstract: | A portable chip-CE system with potential gradient detection (PGD) was developed and applied to the determinations of alkali metals and alkaloids. The separation efficiency appeared to be satisfactory and nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE) proved to be applicable to PGD or conductivity detection. The power supplies, separation and detection were built on a device of 3 kg in weight. A branch channel near the end of the separation channel was designed to perform PGD and make the application of relatively high field strength possible. The study is the first report on the application of PGD on the microchip platform. The design of the chip-CE system shows several advantages, such as simplicity, miniaturization and wide applicability. |
