Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Separation Science

Background:

  • Manual calibration in analytical methods like capillary electrophoresis (CE) is time-consuming and prone to errors.
  • Traditional calibration techniques (external standard, standard addition, internal standard) require significant manual sample handling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and present a direct, fully automated calibration procedure for capillary electrophoresis.
  • To integrate a continuous flow system (CFS) with CE for automated sample handling and calibration.

Main Methods:

  • Coupling a continuous flow system (CFS) to commercial capillary electrophoresis equipment using a programmable arm.
  • Implementing automated calibration (external calibration, standard addition, internal standard) via the CFS.
  • Controlling the entire system, including peristaltic pumps and the programmable arm, via a computer using GW-BASIC software.
