Capillary zone electrophoresis was tried for analyzing water-soluble fiber-tip pen inks from documents. The separation process for the compounds—most of them move as anions—is usually less than 10 min. Some examples of possible applications, also combined with thin-layer chromatography, are given.
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.
