Hc. Birrell et al., PHYTIC ACID CAN GREATLY ENHANCE RESOLUTION IN CAPILLARY ELECTROPHORESIS, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (1), 1994, pp. 43-44
The addition of phytic acid to an electrolyte buffer has been found to
improve the resolution of analytes in capillary electrophoresis; this
improvement is thought to be mainly due to a lowering of electroosmot
ic flow.
