“…Simple buffered/SDS solutions [26,28] further modified by organic solvents [19,25,27,31,32], bile salts [23,29,32,33,34], or CDs of diverse functionalities [19,23,24,30,32,34,35] are the commonly used electrolyte systems. Detection of steroids is usually promoted by the direct UV absorbance mode at low wavelengths in regular uncoated capillaries [19,21,26,29] or z-shaped cells [24], although derivatization schemes have been reported [18]. The implementation of partial-filling strategies for the MEKC-ESI-MS determination of anabolic steroids has been demonstrated [33].…”
