“…They fall into two main categories: oil-in-water (O/W) microemulsion, where hydrophobic droplets of oil are dispersed in an aqueous buffer with the help of the surfactant and co-surfactant, and waterin-oil microemulsion when the water is dispersed homogenously in the oil phase. As a result of these properties, O/W MEEKC has been successfully used as pseudostationary phase (PSP) in CE for a variety of applications, including chiral separation [2,3], prediction of solute characteristics [4,5], bioanalysis [6,7], food and pharmaceutical analysis [8][9][10], sample preconcentration methods [11][12][13][14]. Specifically, water-in-oil microemulsion has been emerging as an alternative CE buffer [9,15,16] and has shown differential ability to separate neutral and acidic compounds compared with O/W MEEKC.…”
