M. Castagnola et al., ION-EXCHANGE ELECTROKINETIC CAPILLARY CHROMATOGRAPHY WITH STARBURST (PAMAM) DENDRIMERS - A ROUTE TOWARDS HIGH-PERFORMANCE ELECTROKINETIC CAPILLARY CHROMATOGRAPHY, Journal of chromatography, 694(2), 1995, pp. 463-469
The use of different generations of Starburst (pamam) dendrimers provi
des a new opportunity for ion-exchange electrokinetic capillary chroma
tography. The uniform surface charge density and the structural homoge
neity of these macroelectrolytes provide a decrease of plate height in
comparison with micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography with
cationic surfactants. In addition, the use of different dendrimer gen
erations allows the separation selectivity to be modulated.
