Accurate measurement of electroosmotic flow (EOF) is crucial for reproducible capillary electrophoresis (CE) and microchip capillary electrophoresis (MCE) results. This study details and compares two common EOF measurement methods, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses for improved analytical accuracy.

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Separation Science
  • Microfluidics

Background:

  • Electrophoretic migration and electroosmotic flow (EOF) are key determinants of charged compound migration in capillary electrophoresis (CE) and microchip capillary electrophoresis (MCE).
  • Uncontrolled variations in EOF lead to irreproducible migration times and inaccurate quantitation in CE and MCE analyses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail and compare the two most common methods for measuring EOF in CE and MCE.
  • To present experimental results and calculations for EOF rates and electroosmotic mobility using these methods.
  • To discuss the strengths and limitations of each EOF measurement technique.

Main Methods:

  • Detailed description of the neutral marker method for EOF measurement.
  • Detailed description of the current monitoring method for EOF measurement.
