A new method for modifying and fine-tuning liquid chromatographic separations without manipulating the mobile phase composition is discussed. This method, termed Microanalytical Instrumentation Center at ISU. The Ames Laboratory is operated for the U.S. Department of Energy by ISU under Contract W-7405-Eng-82.
A new column design for electrochemically modulated liquid chromatography (EMLC) is presented. The principal attribute of the new design is the enhancement of the control over the potential applied to the stationary phase by the reduction of the background current and solution resistance. The enhancement is demonstrated through a series of comparisons of the electrochemical performance of the new and the earlier column designs. This enhancement, as shown using mixtures of aromatic sulfonates, translates to an improvement in the capability of EMLC as a separation technique.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
