The quantitative CE analysis of fluorine and monofluorophosphate in to
othpastes is described. Separation is performed using a Waters CIA-Pak
chemistry kit with Waters Electro Osmotic Flow Modifiers on a CE inst
rument from Spectra Physics (Spectra-phoresis 500) at elevated tempera
tures up to 40-degrees-C and at a low temperature of 10-degrees-C.The
quantitative results and the simplicity are compared for the CE method
, the existing standard GC procedure described in the Official Journal
of the European Communities, and the procedure employing a fluoride-i
on-specific electrode.
