Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Separation Science

Background:

  • Capillary electrochromatography (CEC) offers unique separation capabilities.
  • Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) is effective for polar analytes.
  • Combining these techniques (HI-CEC) presents opportunities for peptide separation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the separation of small peptides using hydrophilic interaction capillary electrochromatography (HI-CEC).
  • To explore the influence of various mobile phase parameters and applied voltage on peptide migration.
  • To elucidate the retention mechanisms governing peptide separation in HI-CEC.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a strong-cation-exchange stationary phase (PolySULFOETHYL A) in a capillary electrochromatography setup.
  • Investigated the effects of acetonitrile content, ionic strength, mobile phase pH, and applied voltage.

  • Analyzed peptide migration, elution order, and selectivity.

    • Main Results:

    • A strong cathodic electroosmotic flow (EOF) was generated by the negatively charged stationary phase.
    • Hydrophilic interactions were identified as a major retention mechanism, particularly with high acetonitrile content.
    • Ion-exchange mechanisms and electrophoretic mobility also influenced peptide migration.
    • HI-CEC demonstrated different selectivity and elution order compared to capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE).
    • Baseline separation of nine peptides was achieved within 6 minutes, showcasing high efficiency and selectivity.

    Conclusions:

    • HI-CEC is a viable and efficient technique for small peptide separation.
    • The separation is governed by a combination of hydrophilic interactions, ion-exchange, and electrophoretic mobility.
    • HI-CEC serves as a valuable complementary technique to CZE for peptide analysis.
    • The method offers high efficiency and selectivity for complex peptide mixtures.
