Capillary Electrochromatography: A Versatile Tool for Biochemical Analysis

摘要

Capillary Electro chromatography (CEC) is a small scale separation technique which involves principle of both chromatography and capillary electrophoresis. Separation of analyte is done on the basis of differences in ratio of partition between stationary phase and mobile phase or due to differences in their electrophoretic mobility. Capillary Electro chromatography (CEC) combines the principles used in HPLC and CE. The mobile phases are driven across the chromatographic bed using electro osmosis instead of pressure (as in HPLC). This review describes the general introduction to CEC, the various advantages of CEC over HPLC and Electophoresis, instrumentation, history, various stationary phase and mobile phases, column technology and vast applications of CEC in a variety of fields.
