CE gradually appearing in EU monographs

摘要

John Miller,of the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines,Strasbourg,reviewed capillary electrophoresis from a European Pharmacopoeia perspective.So far,he said,CE had not found great favour in quality control work and the technique was only gradually appearing in European monographs.CE encompasses free solution CE,capillary gel electrophoresis,capillary isoelec-tric focusing and micellar electrokinetic chromatography.Suitable systems for analysis would address the apparent number of theoretical plates,resolution,the symmetry factor and the signal-to-noise ratio,factors similar to those for chromatographic systems.
