Ten beta-blockers were simultaneously separated by capillary zone elec
trophoresis using citrate buffer as a background electrolyte at low pH
. The effects of buffer concentration and buffer pH on the migration b
ehavior and separation of beta-blockers were systematically investigat
ed. The results indicate that the resolution of co-migrating analytes
improves with increasing buffer concentration at a low pH and that the
optimum pH of the buffer decreases with increasing buffer concentrati
on. Complete separation of the beta-blockers tested was achieved withi
n a relatively short time with an appropriate concentration of citrate
buffer in the range 160-400 mM and a proper pH in the range 3.0-1.8 u
sing a 43 cm x 50 mu m I.D. fused-silica capillary at 15 kV.
