Different types of fused-silica capillaries of 75 microm inside diameter (ID) were packed, namely type A and B, and evaluated for the direct resolution of racemates of several basic compounds by enantioselective capillary electrochromatography (e-CEC). Type A was packed with a chiral stationary phase (CSP) containing teicoplanin (TE) mixed with silica microparticles (3:1 w/w) while type B contained only the TE-CSP. In both cases, particles of different sizes (3.5 and 5 microm ID) were employed. A polar-organic mobile phase containing methanol-acetonitrile (60-40% v/v and 0.05% w/v ammonium acetate was used. Several beta-blockers (alprenolol, oxprenolol, metoprolol, pindolol, salbutamol, propranolol, atenolol, acebutolol) were baseline-enantioresolved with both capillary types, in very short times.
