Abstract
Temperature and voltage programming modes were utilized to optimize selectivity and increase the eluting rate of strongly retained compounds in micellar electrokinetic chromatography. Separations obtained by applying temperature, voltage, and a simultaneous combination of temperature and voltage gradient in micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography were compared with separations performed under isothermal and constant voltage conditions. A complete separation of all the constituents of the test mixture was only achieved in the temperature programming run and in a combination of temperature and voltage programming modes. Simultaneous variations of column temperature and applied voltage during a separation run, yielded a 30% reduction in the total analysis time when compared to a temperature gradient alone. Temperature programming and voltage programming modes may be the gradient methods of choice because of the considerable technical difficulties involved in performing linear solvent gradient elution in micellar electrokinetic chromatography.
