“…Different background electrolytes have been described for PENs analysis in different matrices. The pH value used is in the interval from 3.6 to 9.2 using phosphate or borate and sodium dodecyl sulphate salts [24][25][26][27][28]. Different factors affecting the separation with the background electrolyte required evaluation.…”

“…In addition, I noticed that the peak widths of the signals in the electropherograms for both sizes of Au NPs were reduced slightly when the REPSM voltage processes were applied, suggesting that the Au NPs in the sample underwent stacking during the application of the REPSM; the finding is consistent with those of previous reports. 37,38 After completing the REPSM, the voltage was applied (positive polarity) for various MEKC time intervals and then pressure (50 mbar) was applied to mobilize the Au NP zones to the detector. Sets (a) and (b) in Fig.…”

“…Sample 'stacking' is a technique where improved separation efficiencies and detector response are obtained when using a sample diluent of lesser ionic strength than the microemulsion running buffer [31,67]. This technique has been used for the analysis of penicillins by MEEKC [68] and resulted in a 40-fold increase in detection limits. Sample stacking was used as an online preconcentration technique when analysing cephalosporins by MEEKC [69].…”

“…Recent methods to improve sensitivity and LODs have included sample stacking [68] to improve sensitivity up to 40-fold, and LIF detection (LIFD) [54,75], used for to achieve LODs of 5.3 and 3.9 ng/ml ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, respectively in Chinese herbal remedies [75].…”

“…5 shows the separation of ingredients in a cold medicine using a similar MEEKC method [88]. A sample stacking technique was used to analyse amoxicillin (a penicillin compound) in a commercial formulation by MEEKC [68], which showed up to a 40-fold increase in sensitivity and achieved LOD's of between 10 and 25 mg/ L.

Microemulsion EKC (MEEKC) is an electrodriven separation technique. Separations are typically achieved using oil-in-water microemulsions, which are composed of nanometre-sized oil droplets suspended in an aqueous buffer. The droplets are stabilised by a surfactant and a cosurfactant. The novel use of water-in-oil microemulsions has also been investigated. This review summarises the advances in the development of MEEKC separations and also the different areas of application including determination of log P values, pharmaceutical applications, chiral analysis, natural products and bioanalytical separations and the use of new methods such as multiplexed MEEKC and high speed MEEKC. Recent applications (2004-2006) are tabulated for each area with microemulsion composition details.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
