As the name implies, micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) is a chromatographic technique in which samples are separated by differential partitioning between two phases (Fig. 9). The technique is usually performed in uncoated capillaries under alkaline conditions to generate a high electroosmotic flow. The background electrolyte contains a surfactant at a concentration above its critical...
