Abstract
High-performance capillary electrophoresis (CE) and HPLC were compared for the analysis of some enzymatically synthesised beta-lactam antibi otics. The main advantage for CE, besides its lower operational costs, is the short analysis time. It was further found that CE could be use d for a variety of antibiotics and their building blocks by small adju stments, affecting the mobility of the solutes, in the analysis method . The compounds studied have a typical detection limit of 10 mu M for both CE and HPLC.
