As a result of these differences in intermolecular interactions arising from the individiual structures the analytes show different mobilities Sample components will become separated from each other as they travel 7 through the stationary phase.

Ions have different migration rates depending on their total charge, size, and shape, shape and can therefore be separated. separated 44 Praktická MS a separace malých molekul ELEKTROMIGRATION METHODS There are 6 basic electromigration methods differing in separation mechanism and a medium in a separation capillary: Separated particles Capillary Zone Electrophoresis (CZE) ions Capillary Gel Electrophoresis (CGE) ions (macromolecules) Micellar Electrokinetic Capillary molecules ions molecules, Chromatography (MEKC) Capillary Electrochromatography (CEC) molecules, ions Capillary Isoelectric focusing (CIECF) ions (mostly macro- ) Capillary Isotachophoresis (CITP, ITP) ions Summary term “Capillary electrophoresis” (CE) is used for CZE CGE, CZE, CGE MEKC, MEKC CEC 45 Praktická MS a separace malých molekul CAPILLARY ELECTROPHORESIS (CE) Basic instrumentation of capillary electrophoretic methods (CE) Capillaries ‐ typically of 25‐100 µm inner diameter; 0.5 to 1 m in length. Fused silica coated with polyimide film flexible. Cooled for heat dissipation silica coated with polyimide film flexible Cooled for heat dissipation The applied potential is 20 to 30 kV. For safety reasons one electrode is usually at ground and the other is biased positively or negatively. Positively charged ions start to migrate towards a negative electrode and negatively‐charged ions migrate toward a positive electrode (electrophoretic migration). The mobility of an ion in a particular medium is constant and characteristic of that ion. Ions h f h h have d ff different migration rates depending d d on their h total charge, size, and shape, and can therefore be separated. However during the electrophoretic process a second transport effect called electroosmotic flow occurs.

As long as a molecule is charged it can be separated by CZE. This makes the applications for CZE very diverse being used for peptide, ion and enantiomer analysis. The easiest form of CE to perform because the capillary is only filled with buffer. buffer Separation occurs as solutes migrate at different velocities through the capillary. Another advantage of CZE is that it separates anions and cations in the same run, something that some of the other modes of CE do not. By its principle CZE cannot separate neutral molecules. 55 Praktická MS a separace malých molekul Capillary Zone Electrophoresis (CZE) How to affect the separation process in CZE? 1.Buffer Absolutely vital for CE separation Critical parameters: G d buffering Good b ff capacity in the h pH range off choice h Low absorbance at the wavelength of detection Low o mobility ob ty (t (that at is, s, large, a ge, minimally a y ccharged a ged ions) o s) to minimise se cu current e t generation (< 100 A ) Biological buffers such as Tris or borate are particularly useful 56 Praktická MS a separace malých molekul How to affect the separation process in CZE?
