Recent applications in capillary electrochromatography

Abstract

In this review research papers on the application of CEC are summarized that have been published between May 2003 and May 2005. First, a short overview is given of trends and developments in CEC that may increase the applicability of the separation technique. Next, application-oriented research using CEC is described in biochemical studies, including proteomics and genomics, in the analysis of food and natural products, and in pharmaceutical, industrial, and environmental analysis.

Determination of tocopherols in vegetable oils by CEC using methacrylate ester‐based monolithic columns

“…CEC is a hybrid separation technique, which combines the selectivity of HPLC with the high efficiency of CE [18,19]. Using CEC, compounds with closely similar properties can be resolved in a short time with minimal solvent consumption.…”

Recent advances in the application of capillary electromigration methods for food analysis

“…In addition, some other published reviews were focused on discussing the different applications of a particular CE technique, including food analysis. This is the case for instance of CE coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) [15][16][17], electrochromatography [18], CE coupled to chemiluminiscence detection [19], microemulsion electrokinetic chromatography (MEEKC) [20], sample treatment prior to CE-MS [21].…”

Recent advances in CE and CEC of pollutants

“…A number of review articles have been published recently which deal with the new stationary phases [8,11] and applications of CEC [5,8,11]. A recent trend in CEC research is the development and application of monolithic materials [11] which are fritless, and therefore overcome the problems generated by frits used in conventional packed columns.…”
