“…The influence of the addiCorrespondence: Professor J. Crommen, Laboratory of Drug Analysis, Institute of Pharmacy, University of Liege, rue Fusch 5, B-4000 LiBge, Belgium Abbreviations: BGE, background electrolyte; CD, 8-cyclodextrin; CZE, capillary zone electrophoresis; DMCD, dimethyl-6-cyclodextrin; HPCD, hydroxypropyl-P-cyclodextrin; TMCD, trimethyl-B-cyclodextrin tion of organic solvents, such as methanol and acetonitrile, has been examined in several papers [3,5,131. The effects of other additives, such as methylhydroxyethyl cellulose [6], quaternary ammonium ions [12] and urea [3, 8, 10, 191, as well as of operating parameters such as temperature [7][8][9]191 and field strength [14] on chiral separation by CZE with cyclodextrins have also been studied. Quantitative aspects have been treated by different authors 12, 11, 12, 151.…”
