Increasing the Efficiency of In-Capillary Electrophoretically Mediated Microanalysis Reactions via Rapid Polarity Switching

Abstract: We report herein a new approach to enhance the sensitivity or speed of CE-based methods that involve in-line reactions. Rapid polarity switching (RPS) is used as a novel means for in-line mixing of two reactant solutions via rapid (1-5 s) and sequential switching of the applied potential field. By employing the RPS approach with a model chemical reaction, that between creatinine and alkaline picrate, significant enhancement in sensitivity (or a decrease in analysis time) is realized. Both increased convection … Show more

“…The first is to apply a series of positive and negative voltages across the capillary. This rapid polarity switching improves the convection of reactant plugs due to forward and backward shaking movements. The second approach is to combine the effect of the electric field (EMMA) with an amplification step at zero potential (zero‐potential amplification) .…”

“…A zero-potential amplification is possible whereby the voltage is stopped when the two zones have merged, to allow accumulation of more product, and therefore to increase the sensitivity. Recently, Strein and co-workers [32] introduced a new approach to enhance the sensitivity and speed of EMMA with small molecules. Rapid polarity switching (RPS) is used as a novel technique that takes advantage of the differences in electrophoretic mobilities of two reagents to produce successive mixing events through repetitive reversals of the applied potential.…”
