“…Many kinds of buffer additives have been successfully used as isomer selectors in CE, including metal complexes (Kuhn and Hoffstetter-Kuhn, 1992;Snopek et al, 1988), chiral surfactants (Gozel et al, 1987), proteins (Otsuka and Terabe, 1990), oligosaccharides (Barker et al, 1992), crown ethers (Dhulst & Verkeke, 1992), macrocyclic antibiotics (Otsuka et al, 1994), and cyclodextrins (Richard and Bopp, 1994;Richard et al, 1996;Armstrong et al, 1986Armstrong et al, , 1994Fanali, 1991;Smith, 1993;Schmitt and Engelhardt, 1993;Tait et al, 1994;Lunie et al, 1994;Chank Vetadze et al, 1994, 1995a. These selectors interact with analyte molecules to form complexes which have different mobilities than the free analyte, and therefore differences in the stability of the complexes between isomers result in stereoisomer resolution.…”
