Recent advances in capillary electrophoresis and capillary electrochromatography of pollutants

Abstract

An overview of major developments in capillary electrophoresis and capillary electrochromatography systems in the environmental field is presented, covering relevant publications between the second half of 1999 and early 2001. Contributions are reviewed in relation to developments in detection, sample preparation/preconcentration, precision and applications. Many interesting examples are shown and the influence of important parameters on the performance of developed methods is discussed.

Investigation of the novel mixed-mode stationary phase for capillary electrochromatography

“…After the first report on CEC in 1974 [4], the potential of CEC has been demonstrated by a burst of outstanding separations and applications [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

Analysis of liquid extracts from tree and grass pollens by capillary electromigration methods

“…Different modes of capillary electrophoresis have developed into highly-efficient and highly-sensitive analytical methods with a broad application potential for analysis of various classes of compounds of environmental relevance, including pollen allergens [10,11] and organic pollutants [12]. Capillary isotachophoresis (CITP) [13] plays a specific role in environmental analysis because of possessing the concentrating effect, i.e.…”

A Specific, Robust, and Automated Method for Routine At-Line Monitoring of the Concentration of Cellulases in Genetically Modified Sugarcane Plants

“…The RSD (n=3) of migration times of BG, CBH, and EG were found to be 0.84%, 0.64%, and 0.79%, respectively, after sample preparation (electropherograms not shown) which is in comparison to which has been reported in the literature [32]. Therefore, coupling of the developed sample preparation method with the CZE method ensures peak identification using software.…”
