Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Separation Science

Background:

  • Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and isotachophoresis (ITP) are powerful separation techniques.
  • Combining ITP with CZE (ITP/CZE) offers enhanced sample stacking capabilities.
  • Traditional stacking methods like transient ITP can suffer from destacking issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the ITP/CZE system for selective sample concentration.
  • To calculate and optimize mobility windows for ITP/CZE.
  • To demonstrate the stability of stacked zones in ITP/CZE.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an ITP/CZE system using specific leading (L1) and terminating (L2) electrolyte solutions.
  • Calculation of mobility windows by varying ratios of L1 and L2 ions and pH.
  • Experimental validation using electropherograms.

Main Results:

  • Mobility windows were calculated for ITP/CZE, defining conditions for analyte migration.
  • Optimization of mobility windows was achieved by adjusting L1/L2 ratios and pH.
  • Narrow mobility windows enable highly selective concentration of sample components.
  • Stacked zones in ITP/CZE remain stable throughout the experiment.

Conclusions:

  • The ITP/CZE system provides stable and selective sample stacking.
  • Calculated mobility windows accurately predict ITP/CZE behavior.
  • ITP/CZE offers advantages over transient stacking methods due to zone stability.
