“…This can be especially detrimental when using UV detection since the small capillary dimensions already place a limitation on concentration sensitivity. There have been several strategies developed to improve the concentration sensitivity of CE on-line, including field-amplified sample stacking [7][8][9][10][11], large-volume sample stacking [12,13], isotachophoresis [14,15], stacking of neutral analytes [16,17], dynamic pH junction [18,19], the transient moving chemical reaction boundary method (tMCRBM) [20,21], and chromatographic preconcentration [22]. Field-amplified stacking is the simplest of these techniques and has therefore been the most commonly used approach for on-column pre-concentration.…”
