Miscellaneous

Frequently samples comprise of mixtures of analytes which cannot be assigned to a specific category. Therefore „miscellaneous“ is a collection of exceptional applications.

Saccharin in a Bright Nickel Bath

CAS No: 81-07-2     128-44-9 (sodium salt)

  • Separation: MEKC
  • Electrolyte: Borate/SDS
  • Capillary: fused silica, 50 µm ID, bubble cell, 40 cm effective length, 48 cm in total
  • Injection: 10 s, 50 mbar
  • Detection: direct UV, 200 nm
  • Description: The Bright nickel bath samples were diluted 1:200. The peak identity of Saccharin was verified by standard addition and by comparing the spectral UV data of the peak in the sample solution and in the standard solution.

Lecithin (Phospholipide)

Lecithin (Phospholipide) can be found in natural products, especially in eggs and cells of vegetable seeds. A common starting material for the extraction of lecithin is, for example, soy. Especially their properties as lubricant, emulsifier, antioxidant and flavor protector provide a wide range of applications. So, phospholipids are widely used, eg, in the food industry and in cosmetic products. Quantification by CE is possible using direct UV detection at low wavelengths.

Urea

Urea (other names: Carbamid or E927b) is a natural metabolic product of mammals and is an important part of the nitrogen circle. On an industrial scale urea is produced from ammoniak.urea-formelUrea is highly soluble in water. The analysis of urea with capillary electrophoresis is possible due to its affinity to micelles. Allthough it iss mall, it is sufficient to separate urea from the EOF. Detection takes place at low wave lengths with direct UV detection.

  • Separation: MEKC
  • Electrolyte: Borate/SDS
  • Capillary: fused silica, 50 µm ID, bubble cell, 64 cm in total
  • Injection: 10 s, 50 mbar
  • Detection: direct UV, 200 nm
  • Description: The linearity for the quantitation of urea was tested in the range of 20 mg/l up to 1000 mg/l.
