Complex-forming equilibria in isotachophoresis : III. Estimation of optimum separation conditions of several organic acids by means of computer simulation

Abstract

A computer simulation of isotachophoretic equilibria utilizing a complex-forming technique was applied for the estimation of optimum separation conditions for several previously studied organic acids. The simulations confirmed that the electrolyte system which had been employed was optimal for these separations. Good agreement was obtained between the observed and the simulated isotachopherograms and the injected sample amounts could be estimated, confirming the practical applicability of this simulational technique to analytical problems.
