Description:
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) and the related techniques of micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) are relatively new to environmental analysis. E is better known in the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields where it is employed for protein and drug separations, respectively. E possesses many powerful capabilities, however, that make it attractive for environmental analysis: both laboratory-based and field-screening applications. he purpose of this paper is to introduce CE to scientists involved in field-screening and illustrate some conceptual schemes where this technology may play a role. n fact, CE could play a central separations role in U.S. EPA methods for both inorganic and organic analytes encompassing both traditional analytical methods and sensor-based approaches for Semivolatiles and nonvolatiles.
