Both cationic and anionic polymeric additives were used for fe capilla
ry electrophoretic separation of proteins in food samples. The cationi
c polyelectrolyte polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride was more effect
ive in minimizing protein-wall interactions at pH 3 than at pH 7, pres
umably due to greater repulsion between the adsorbed polymer and prote
ins. Improved resolution was observed in the presence of the co-additi
ve sodium octanesulphonate, presumably due to ion-pairing interactions
with protein sample components. The anionic polymer dextran sulfate p
roduced relatively high efficiencies, 120000-180000 theoretical plates
, for protein separation, presumably because the polymer adsorbed to t
he capillary wall, rendering the surface more hydrophilic. In addition
to reduced protein-wall interactions, improved resolution was observe
d, presumably due to analyte-polymer ion-exchange/ion-pairing interact
ions. When poly(vinyl sulphonic acid) was used instead of dextran sulf
ate, broader profiles were obtained and fewer components were resolved
, presumably due to reduced wall deactivation that is related to the l
ower hydrophilicity of poly(vinyl sulphonic acid). (C) 1998 Elsevier S
