Capillary electrophoresis transforms

Identification of stmctures of toxic chemicals in environmental samples requires to use modern analytical methods, such as gas chromatography (GC) with element selective detectors (NPD, FPD, AED), capillary electrophoresis (CE) for screening purposes, gas chromatography/mass-spectrometry (GC/MS), gas chromatography / Fourier transform infra red spectrometry (GC/FTIR), nucleai magnetic resonance (NMR), etc. 

Several additional instrumental techniques have also been developed for bacterial characterization. Capillary electrophoresis of bacteria, which requires little sample preparation,42 is possible because most bacteria act as colloidal particles in suspension and can be separated by their electrical charge. Capillary electrophoresis provides information that may be useful for identification. Flow cytometry also can be used to identify and separate individual cells in a mixture.11,42 Infrared spectroscopy has been used to characterize bacteria caught on transparent filters.113 Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, with linear discriminant analysis and artificial neural networks, has been adapted for identifying foodbome bacteria25,113 and pathogenic bacteria in the blood.5...

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) either coupled to MS or to laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) is less often used in metabolomics approaches. This method is faster than the others and needs a smaller sample size, thereby making it especially interesting for single cell analysis [215] The most sensitive mass spectrometers are the Orbitrap and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) MS [213]. These machines determine the mass-to-charge ratio of a metabolite so accurate that its empirical formula can be predicted, making them the techniques of choice for the identification of unknown peaks.

Numerous analyses in the quality control of most kinds of samples occurring in the flavour industry are done by different chromatographic procedures, for example gas chromatography (GC), high-pressure liquid chromatography (fiPLC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE). Besides the different IR methods mentioned already, further spectroscopic techniques are used, for example nuclear magnetic resonance, ultraviolet spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy (MS) and atomic absorption spectroscopy. In addition, also in quality control modern coupled techniques like GC-MS, GC-Fourier transform IR spectroscopy, HPLC-MS and CE-MS are gaining more and more importance. 

Knowledge of the pKa value is crucial for analyzing both lipophilicity and solubility of ionizable compounds, as discussed above. Ionization equilibria also affect several toxicokinetic parameters, such as intestinal absorption, membrane permeability, protein binding, and metabolic transformations. Therefore, much research has been invested in developing both experimental and computational tools for pKa determination. Experimentally, two high-throughput methods exist spectral gradient analysis and capillary electrophoresis. However, the most definitive methods are still... 

The detector in capillary electrophoresis is the main component in nanoanalyses. Many detectors can be used for this purpose but the mass spectrometer is the best one due to its wide ranges and low concentration detection capabilities. In the last few years, time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) instruments have come onto the market and are available in many sizes, but small instruments are preferred in NCE. Bruker (Billerica, MA) has provided a micro-TOF-MS-LC (2x2x4 feet) system for nanoanalyses. Bruker also introduced a Q-q-FTMS (Fourier transform mass spectrometer) for proteomics called the APEX-QE. It offers fast, dual quadrupoles, which provides the first stages followed by FTMS for the highest mass accuracy. It can be coupled to NCE and controlled by Bmker s ProteinScape work flow and warehousing...
