Reproducibility in capillary electrophoresis (CE) is impacted by analyte-capillary interactions and sample conditions. Optimizing capillary electrophoresis methods requires careful control of sample matrix, injection volume, and capillary washing for reliable results.

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Separation Science

Background:

  • Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a powerful separation technique.
  • Reproducibility of migration time and peak height in CE can be challenging.
  • Analyte-capillary wall interactions significantly contribute to migration time imprecision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate variables affecting peak height and migration time reproducibility in CE.
  • To identify factors influencing the precision of CE measurements.
  • To provide insights for improving CE method reliability.

Main Methods:

  • Investigation of factors including analyte properties, capillary dimensions, sample matrix, and injection volume.
  • Assessment of the impact of capillary washing and sample pretreatment (acetonitrile deproteinization).

  • Use of internal standards to evaluate migration time reproducibility.

    • Main Results:

    • Acidic compounds with longer migration times exhibit higher relative standard deviations.
    • Shorter capillary length generally improves migration time reproducibility.
    • Injection volume and sample matrix (proteins, salts) critically affect peak height reproducibility.
    • Acetonitrile deproteinization aids in sample stacking and improves reproducibility.
    • Reproducibility of peak height and area varies with migration time and analyte concentration.

    Conclusions:

    • Analyte-capillary wall interactions are a major source of CE migration time imprecision.
    • Optimizing injection volume, sample matrix, and capillary washing enhances CE reproducibility.
    • Internal standards and acetonitrile deproteinization are effective strategies for improving CE method reliability.
