Whole-Column-Imaging Detection for Capillary Isoelectric Focusing and Capillary Electrophoresis

In this article, the authors review recent developments in the research of whole-column-imaging detection for capillary electrophoresis (CE). Whole-column-imaging detection was developed for capillary isoelectric focusing, for which it proved to be an ideal detector. Several whole-column-imaging detectors -- including refractive index gradient imaging, UV-absorption imaging, and fluorescence imaging detectors -- have been studied. The capillary isoelectric focusing UV-absorption imaging technique even has been commercialized. The development of whole-column-imaging detection itself facilitates CE studies in many directions such as in electrophoretic dynamics within narrow channels, new separation modes, and two-dimensional separations. Whole-column-imaging detection also finds application in capillary zone electrophoresis.

Analysis of Weak UV-Absorbing Pharmaceutical Drug Substances Using CE with Condensation Nucleation Light-Scattering Detection

The authors descibe the use of CE with condensation nucleation light-scattering detection to analyze three pharmaceutical analytes. Because the compounds lack adequate UV chromophores, they require a more sensitive means of detection.

Ultrahigh-Efficiency Protein Separations with Submicrometer Silica Using Slip Flow

Professor Mary Wirth and graduate students Bingchuan Wei and Benjamin Rogers from Purdue University demonstrate a quantum leap in protein column efficiency. Using colloidal silica particles of submicrometer diameters (470 nm), they obtained plate heights that were as much as 15-fold lower than the theoretical limit for Hagen-Poiseuille flow.

Selective Sorbents for Solid-Phase Extraction Based on Molecularly Imprinted Polymers

Highly selective sorbents for solid-phase extraction (SPE) are desirable tools for the development of selective and sensitive methods for trace analysis. Molecular imprinting is an emerging technique that can yield analyte- or group-selective polymeric sorbents.
