Abstract
The influence of a hydrostatic counter pressure on basic mobility equations in MEKC was analyzed theoretically and investigated experimentally. Taking into account the influence of counter pressure, the modified mobility equations predict a decreased migration time ratio t0/tMC, which was confirmed by results obtained in SDS-MEKC separation of a homologous series of n-alkyl phenyl ketones. As a result, the migration time window could be enlarged in a simple way without having to change the chemistry of the system. Although counter pressures reduce peak efficiency in MEKC by disturbing the plug profile, the concomitant enlargement of the migration time window compensates for this effect. Especially for later migrating compounds, peak resolution could be enhanced at moderate counter pressures. The overall peak capacities within the whole migration window increases slightly when applying counter pressures up to 10 mbar.
