K. Bachmann et al., IMPROVEMENT OF REPRODUCTIBILITY IN CAPILLARY ZONE ELECTROPHORESIS BY SEQUENTIAL APPLICATION OF HIGH-VOLTAGE AND PRESSURE, Fresenius' journal of analytical chemistry, 350(12), 1994, pp. 716-717
In capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) problems arise concerning the
reproducibility of the measurements. This is due to variations in elec
troosmotic flow and analyte velocities. The discontinuous use of high
voltage for the separation of analytes and the pressure for the transp
ort to the detector offers the possibility to suppress the main causes
for these phenomena. The procedure is demonstrated for the separation
of 4 phenol derivatives. An increase in reproducibility is found for
standard solutions from about 3% to 1%.
