Jf. Lopezsanchez et al., QUANTITATIVE ASPECTS OF THE SEPARATION OF ARSENICAL SPECIES BY FREE SOLUTION CAPILLARY ELECTROPHORESIS, Fresenius' journal of analytical chemistry, 348(12), 1994, pp. 810-814
Capillary zone electrophoresis has been used for the separation of ars
enite, arsenate, monomethylarsonic acid (MMA), dimethylarsinic acid (D
MA) and phenylarsonic acid. The separation was achieved using a fused
silica capillary filled with a phosphate buffer. The on-column U.V. de
tector was operated at 190 nm. The influence of voltage and injected v
olume, reproducibility of calibration and recovery from a drinking wat
er sample were studied. Using the calibration plot method and phenylar
sonic acid as internal standard the mean recoveries for arsenate, MMA
and DMA were 104%, 97% and 97% respectively.
