Capillary electrophoresis , natural substances separation

Identification and quantification of natural dyes need high performance analytical techniques, appropriate for the analysis of materials of complicated matrices containing a small amount of coloured substances. This requirement perfectly fits coupling of modern separation modules (usually high performance liquid chromatography in reversed phase mode, RPLC, but also capillary electrophoresis, CE) with selective detection units (mainly mass spectrometer). [Pg.365]

Several modes of capillary electrophoretic separation are available ordinary CE, capillary zone electrophoresis, capillary electrokinetic chromatography, capillary gel electrophoresis, capillary electrochromatography, capillary isota-chophoresis, and capillary isoelectric focusing. The different separation mechanisms make it possible to separate a wide variety of substances depending on their mass, charge, and chemical nature.53... [Pg.30]
