Tutorial review: Enrichment and separation of neutral and charged species by ion concentration polarization focusing. Anal Chim Acta 2020; 1128:149-173.

Abstract
Ion concentration polarization focusing (ICPF) is an electrokinetic technique, in which analytes are enriched and separated along a localized electric field gradient in the presence of a counter flow. This field gradient is generated by depletion of ions of the background electrolyte at an ion permselective junction. In this tutorial review, we summarize the fundamental principles and experimental parameters that govern selective ion transport and the stability of the enriched analyte plug. We also examine faradaic ICP (fICP), in which local ion concentration is modulated via electrochemical reactions as an attractive alternative to ICP that achieves similar performance with a decrease in both power consumption and Joule heating. The tutorial covers important challenges to the broad application of ICPF including undesired pH gradients, low volumetric throughput, samples that induce biofouling or are highly conductive, and limited approaches to on- or off-chip analysis. Recent developments in the field that seek to address these challenges are reviewed along with new approaches to maximize enrichment, focus uncharged analytes, and achieve enrichment and separation in water-in-oil droplets. For new practitioners, we discuss practical aspects of ICPF, such as strategies for device design and fabrication and the relative advantages of several types of ion selective junctions and electrodes. Lastly, we summarize tips and tricks for tackling common experimental challenges in ICPF.

Abstract
Ion concentration polarization (ICP) has been broadly applied to accomplish electrokinetic focusing of charged species. However, ICP-based extraction and enrichment of uncharged (neutral) compounds, important for pharmaceutical, biological, and environmental applications, has not yet been reported. Here, we report the ICP-based continuous extraction of two neutral compounds from aqueous solution, by their partition into an ionic micellar phase. Our initial results show that the efficiency of the extraction increases with the concentration of the surfactant comprising the micellar phase, reaching 98 ± 2%, and drops precipitously when the concentration of the target compound exceeds the capacity of the micelles. As a key feature relevant to the practical application of this method, we show that focusing occurs even an order of magnitude below the critical micelle concentration through the local enrichment and assembly of surfactants into micelles, thus minimizing their consumption. To underscore the relevance of this approach to water purification, this method is applied to the extraction of pyrene, a model for polyaromatic hydrocarbons. This approach provides access to a broad range of strategies for selective separation that have been developed in micellar electrokinetic chromatography.

Abstract
On the basis of a detailed physicochemical model, a complete system of equations is formulated that describes the equilibrium between micelles and monomers in solutions of ionic surfactants and their mixtures with nonionic surfactants. The equations of the system express mass balances, chemical and mechanical equilibria. Each nonionic surfactant is characterized by a single thermodynamic parameter--its micellization constant. Each ionic surfactant is characterized by three parameters, including the Stern constant that quantifies the counterion binding. In the case of mixed micelles, each pair of surfactants is characterized with an interaction parameter, β, in terms of the regular solution theory. The comparison of the model with experimental data for surfactant binary mixtures shows that β is constant--independent of the micelle composition and electrolyte concentration. The solution of the system of equations gives the concentrations of all monomeric species, the micelle composition, ionization degree, surface potential and mean area per head group. Upon additional assumptions for the micelle shape, the mean aggregation number can be also estimated. The model gives quantitative theoretical interpretation of the dependence of the critical micellization concentration (CMC) of ionic surfactants on the ionic strength; of the CMC of mixed surfactant solutions, and of the electrolytic conductivity of micellar solutions. It turns out, that in the absence of added salt the conductivity is completely dominated by the contribution of the small ions: monomers and counterions. The theoretical predictions are in good agreement with experimental data.

Abstract
Since its introduction capillary electrophoresis has shown great potential in areas where electrophoretic techniques have rarely been used before, including here the analysis of pharmaceutical substances. The large majority of pharmaceutical substances are neutral from electrophoretic point of view, consequently separations by the classic capillary zone electrophoresis; where separation is based on the differences between the own electrophoretic mobilities of the analytes; are hard to achieve. Micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography, a hybrid method that combines chromatographic and electrophoretic separation principles, extends the applicability of capillary electrophoretic methods to neutral analytes. In micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography, surfactants are added to the buffer solution in concentration above their critical micellar concentrations, consequently micelles are formed; micelles that undergo electrophoretic migration like any other charged particle. The separation is based on the differential partitioning of an analyte between the two-phase system: the mobile aqueous phase and micellar pseudostationary phase. The present paper aims to summarize the basic aspects regarding separation principles and practical applications of micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography, with particular attention to those relevant in pharmaceutical analysis.

Abstract
The retention/migration behavior of insulin and five synthetic insulin analogues in CZE, MEKC and MEEKC employing seven different detergents within the latter two techniques has been investigated. Substantial changes in separation selectivity in MEKC could be observed for several insulins when moving from SDS to cholate-based micellar systems. Customized separations could be achieved by using mixtures of SDS and deoxycholate. A similar effect could be observed in MEEKC although the overall quality of MEEKC separations was inferior to those obtained with MEKC.

Abstract
The fluorescent amine reactive probe Pacific Blue succinimidyl ester (PB) is used for the detection of trace amounts of amines and amino acids by microchip capillary electrophoresis on the Mars Organic Analyzer (MOA). The spectral and chemical properties of PB provide a 200-fold increase in sensitivity and improved resolution compared to fluorescamine derivatization. With the use of cross injection and PB labeling, the MOA detected amino acids at concentrations as low as 75 pM (sub-parts-per-trillion). Micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) which separates PB-labeled amino acids by their hydrophobicity is also demonstrated. The optimized MEKC conditions (45 mM CHAPSO, pH 6 at 5 degrees C) effectively separated amines and 25 amino acids with enantiomeric resolution of alanine, serine, and citrulline. Samples from the Yungay Hills region in the Atacama Desert, Chile, and from the Murchison meteorite are successfully analyzed using both techniques, and amino acids are found in the parts-per-billion range. Abiotic amino acids such as beta-alanine and epsilon-aminocaprioc acid are detected along with several neutral and acidic amino acids in the Murchison sample. The Atacama Desert sample is found to contain homochiral L-alanine and L-serine indicating the presence of extant or recently extinct life.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) has been used in an interaction study of 66 pharmaceutical compounds with the bile acid glycocholate (GCA). The developed method proved to have a high precision in its ability to determine the mobility of drugs in buffer and buffer bile acids solutions. The relationship between solute structure and interaction with GCA was studied using two-dimensional descriptors with the in-house software SELMA and a three-dimensional model (quantum mechanical descriptors) in combination with the experimental CE-interaction data. The multivariate analysis method used was projection to latent structures by means of partial least squares (PLS). Two selections of training and test set were used for evaluation of a two-class model on interaction data. In the first selection all observations were used for training set, for example, creating a model, and re-predicting the observations on the model. A successful prediction on 85% of the drugs was observed using this model. The second selection used the 21 first tested compounds in the training set, where 78% of the compounds were correctly predicted using the two-dimensional model (SELMA) on the remaining 45 compounds and, respectively, 82% using the three-dimensional (quantum mechanical) model. Analysis of the impact of the descriptors showed that descriptors relating to hydrophobicity have a large positive effect on the interaction. Descriptors relating to polar properties have a pronounced negative effect on the interaction of drugs with bile acids.

Abstract
A new micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatographic method has been developed to analyze the pharmaceutical preparations containing ternary combination of paracetamol (PAR), caffeine (CAF) and propyphenazone (PRO). Best results were obtained by using 20mM pH 9.0 borate buffer containing 30mM sodiumdodecylsulphate as the background electrolyte. Diflunisal (DIF) was used as internal standard (IS). The separation was performed through a fused silica capillary (50microm internal diameter, 44cm total length, 35.5cm effective length) at 25 degrees C with the application of 3s of hydrodynamic injection at 50mbar pressure and a potential of 29kV. Detection wavelength was 200nm. Under these conditions, the migration times were found to be 5.174min for PAR, 5.513min for CAF, 7.195min for DIF, and 9.366min for PRO. Linearity ranges for the method were determined as 2-200microgmL(-1) for PAR and CAF and 3-200microgmL(-1) for PRO. Limit of detections were found as 0.6microgmL(-1) for PAR and CAF and 0.8microgmL(-1) for PRO. According to the validation study, the developed method was proved to be accurate, precise, sensitive, specific, rugged and robust. Three pharmaceutical preparations, which are produced by different drug companies in Turkey, were analyzed by the developed method. One of the same preparations was also analyzed by the derivative ratio spectro zero-crossing spectrophotometric method reported in literature. No significant differences were found statistically.

Abstract
Ion-association extraction of some aromatic sulfonate ions including alkylbenzene sulfonates with tetrabutylammonium ion (TBA+) into nonionic surfactant micelle has been investigated through the changes in the electrophoretic mobility. Nonionic surfactants of Brij 35 and Brij 58 were used as micelle substrates to which the ion-associates formed could distribute. The electrophoretic mobility of the aromatic sulfonate ions was measured by capillary zone electrophoresis in the presence of TBA+ and/or the nonionic surfactant to determine ion-association constants (K(ass)), binding constants of the anions to the nonionic surfactant micelle (K(B)), and binding constants of the ion-associates to the nonionic surfactant micelle (K(B,IA)). Nonlinear phenomena induced with the alkyl chain moiety were observed on K(ass) and K(B) by its linear structure and the mixed micelle formation, respectively. Larger K(B) values were obtained with Brij 58 as micelle matrix than with Brij 35, while the differences in K(B,IA) were small between Brij 58 and Brij 35.

Abstract
Advantages of CZE such as high efficiency, low cost, short analysis time, and easy implementation result in its wide applications for analysis of phytochemical bioactive compounds (e.g. flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, phenolic acid, saponins, anthraquinones and coumarins). However, several aspects, including sample preparation, separation, and detection have significant effects on CZE analysis. Therefore, optimization of these procedures is necessary for development of the method. In this review, sample preparation such as extraction method and preconcentration, separation factors including buffer type, concentration and pH, additives, voltage and temperature, as well as detection, e.g. direct and indirect UV detection, LIF and MS were discussed for optimization of CZE analysis on phytochemical bioactive compounds. The optimized strategies were also reviewed.

Abstract
Ion-association extraction of some nitrophenolate ions with tetrabutylammonium ion (TBA(+)) into nonionic surfactant micelle has been investigated through the changes in the electrophoretic mobility. Nonionic surfactants of Brij 35 and Brij 58 were used as micelle substrates to which the ion-associates formed could distribute. The electrophoretic mobility of the phenolate ions was measured by capillary zone electrophoresis in the presence of TBA(+) and/or the nonionic surfactant. The electrophoretic mobility of the analyte anions decreased with increasing concentrations of the interacting reagent. Ion association constants (K(ass)) between TBA(+) and the phenolate ions, as well as binding constants of the anions to the nonionic surfactant micelle (K(B)), were determined through the mobility change by applying it to a non-linear least-squares analysis. Binding of the ion-associates was also observed from the aqueous phase to the micelle phase, when both TBA(+) and the nonionic surfactant are present. Binding constants of the ion-associates to the nonionic surfactant micelle (K(B,IA)), as well as micelle extraction constants of the ion-associates (K(ex,m)), were also determined by using the mobility change. The K(ex,m) values obtained were compared with the ion association-solvent extraction constants (K(ex,S)) between water and chloroform.

Abstract
The combination of supramolecular chemistry and MS has not only been fruitful in the field of gas-phase fundamental studies of host-guest complexes and supramolecular assemblies. Mass spectrometric analysis has also benefited from the ability of supramolecular systems to behave as pseudophases in which solutes partition from the bulk solvent phase. Supramolecular systems-based extraction and concentration schemes and separation techniques have been widely used in different fields of analytical chemistry and are ideally suited for coupling with MS. This review describes the present status of the application of supramolecular chemistry in mass spectrometric analysis and includes topics such as the use of coacervative liquid-liquid extraction and hemimicelle/admicelle-based SPE of organic compounds prior to chromatography and electrophoresis. It also discusses the recent advances in enantioselective analysis using CD in electrophoresis- and chromatography-MS. The potential and analytical challenges of these approaches in environmental and bioanalytical chemistry, where one can expect significant developments in the future, are outlined.

Abstract
(SP-4-2)-Bis[(R)-(-)-2-aminobutanol-kappaN]dichloroplatinum(II) and (SP-4-2)-bis[(R)-(-)-2-aminobutanolato-kappa2N,O]platinum(II) are promising cytotoxic agents exhibiting a strongly pH-dependent rate of reaction with the DNA-modeling nucleotide guanosine 5'-monophosphate (GMP). This potential mode-of-action binding, directly correlating with cytotoxicity, is influenced by the intramolecular chelation of bifunctional aminoalcohol ligands which was examined by means of micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). While NMR clearly proves the existence of equilibrium between the ring-opened and ring-closed species, no such transformation was observed under MEKC conditions. In a kinetic study performed by MEKC, the half-lives of GMP bound to the platinum complexes were determined and compared to the kinetic data acquired by capillary zone electrophoresis. An appreciable increase in binding in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles was explained in terms of activation of (SP-4-2)-bis[(R)-(-)-2-aminobutanol-kappaN]dichloroplatinum(II). This apparently takes place due to the shifting of the equilibrium towards the ring-opened species, induced by adduct formation between SDS and the platinum complex that was confirmed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Non-ionic surfactant (Brij 35, Tween 20, Tween 80 and Tergitol NPX) modified capillary isotachophoresis was investigated for the separation of 2-arylpropionic acids (fenoprofen, flurbiprofen, ibuprofen, ketoprofen and naproxen) and benzoic acid and its derivatives (salicylic, acetylsalicylic and gallic acids). The relative step height (RSH) values of analytes were found to be dependent on the type and concentration of the surfactant. The strength of the affinity of the 2-arylpropionic acids to the non-ionic micelles was found to be as follows: flurbiprofen > fenoprofen > ibuprofen > naproxen > ketoprofen. In general, the RSH values of 2-arylpropionic acids increase with an increase in the concentration of surfactants. However, the RSHs of benzoic, salicylic and gallic acids are not considerably affected. Separation of all acids was obtained with the Tween 20 (1.5%, w/v) in the leading electrolyte 10 mmol L(-1) hydrochloric acid/L-histidine (pH 6.0). Changes in the fluorescence intensity of fenoprofen, flurbiprofen and naproxen were also investigated in micellar media (Tween 20, Tween 80 and Brij 35). The strength of the affinity of the 2-arylpropionic acids to the Tweens micelles was found to be as follows: flurbiprofen > fenoprofen > naproxen, which is consistent with the isotachophoretic results. On the contrary, the strength of the affinity to the Brij micelles was found to be as follows: fenoprofen > naproxen > flurbiprofen.

Abstract
An organic buffer system will be discussed that is suitable for the separation of neutral as well as charged molecules be means of micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC). The buffers are based on the combination of a long chain alkyl acid, such as lauric acid with ammonium hydroxide or an organic base such as tris-hydroxymethylaminomethane (Tris). The resulting buffer system is able to separate neutral compounds based on its micellar properties. These buffers exhibit much reduced conductivity compared to traditional MEKC buffers, such as sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), which contain inorganic salts. They also have inherent buffer capacity at high pH resulting from the basic buffer component, which in our studies had pK values from about 8-11. The separations that were observed showed high efficiency with plate counts in many cases above 500,000 plates per meter. The reduced conductivity allowed for the application of much higher electric fields, resulting in very fast analysis times. Alternatively, an increase in detection sensitivity could be achieved, as the reduced conductivity allowed for the use of capillaries with lager internal diameters. Combinations of different alkyl acids and organic bases provided for significant flexibility in selectivity tuning. Finally, the fact that the organic micellar buffer systems discussed here do not contain inorganic ions, allows for coupling with mass spectrometric (MS) detection. The possibility of MS detection combined with the high speed in analysis that can be obtained using these organic buffer systems, could make this approach an interesting option for high throughput analysis of combinatorial libraries.

Abstract
An overview of the electrokinetic chromatographic methods for the analysis of antiepileptic drug levels in biological samples is presented. In particular, micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography is a very suitable method for the determination of these drugs, because it allows a rapid, selective, and accurate analysis. In addition to the electrokinetic chromatographic studies on the determination of antiepileptic drugs, some information regarding sample pretreatment will also be reported: this is a critical step when the analysis of biological fluids is concerned. The electrokinetic chromatographic methods for the determination of recent antiepileptic drugs (e.g., lamotrigine, levetiracetam) and classical anticonvulsants (e.g., carbamazepine, phenytoin, ethosuximide, valproic acid) will be discussed in depth, and their pharmacological profiles will be briefly described as well.

Abstract
Micellar proportion, t(prop,mic) = t(mic)/t(m), a quantity expressing how much time is spent by the analyte in the micellar phase related to its whole migration time (t(m)) has been introduced by utilizing the micellar phase residence time (t(mic)). The t(prop,mic) values have been determined for analytes of different chemical structures (alkyl benzene and alkyl phenone homologous series, alcohols, strongly hydrophobic peptides) studied by micellar elektrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) using various cationic and anionic pseudostationary phases. A good linear correlation was obtained between t(prop,mic) and the calculated hydrophobicity (CLOGP) of the analytes for all pseudostationary phases (CLOGP = A.logt(prop,mic) + B). Considering a given pseudostationary phase, t(prop,mic) as a relative quantity is a suitable parameter to characterize and compare experimentally the behavior of the various analytes in MEKC. Applying a set of probe molecules with known hydrophobicity, the CLOGP(50) value (showing the value of hydrophobicity of a virtual molecule spending exactly 50% of its migration time in the pseudostationary phase) has been calculated for each pseudostationary phase applied here. This experimentally determinable numerical value (characterizing the pseudostationary phase) can be utilized to compare the hydrophobicity and hence retention ability of the pseudostationary phases. The t(prop,mic) value was found to be applicable to compare the methylene selectivity of the different pseudostationary phases as well: logt(prop,mic) = A.Z + B, where Z is the number of carbon atoms of the alkyl chain in the alkyl benzene homologous series.

Abstract
We report the development of efficient electrophoretic methods for the separation and quantification of L-arginine and six naturally occurring derivatives that are structurally and functionally related. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) employing a concentrated borate buffer at pH 9.4 achieves the separation of mixtures containing dimethyl-L-arginine, NG-monomethyl-L-arginine, L-arginine, L-homoarginine, L-ornithine, and L-citrulline as 4-fluoro-7-nitrobenzofurazan derivatives. In addition, the separation of the isomeric dimethyl-L-arginine derivatives (symmetric and asymmetric) is attained with baseline resolution by micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) when a high concentration of deoxycholic acid is added as a surfactant to the same running buffer. The influence of buffer type, concentration, and pH on the separation was studied to optimize separation conditions. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) for asymmetric dimethyl-L-arginine in aqueous solution was determined to be 20 microM using UV absorption in a CE separation and 0.1 microM using laser induced fluorescence (LIF) detection in an MEKC separation. This newly developed method was successfully applied for the quantitation of asymmetric dimethyl-L-arginine and L-arginine in human plasma samples at levels that might be used as a clinical diagnostic for cardiovascular disease (0.125 microM LOQ).

Abstract
The separation of dansyl (DNS-AAs) and carbobenzoxy (CBZ-AAs) amino acids using micellar electrokinetic chromatography employing polyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes (PSC) formed in the reaction between polyacrylic acid (PAA) and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) as pseudo-stationary phases was described. The PSCs were stabilized by hydrophobic interactions of alkyl chains of the surfactant ions and converted to an intramolecular micellar-like phase. The running buffer was a 50mM solution of sodium phosphate (pH 6.0) containing 4.6-20.2mM PSC, in which a part of carboxyl groups of PAA was blocked by aliphatic amines. For the systems with 7.9mM of PAA/DTAB complex (phi=0.30, phi-composition of water-soluble polyelectrolyte complex) as a pseudo-stationary phase, the peaks of six dansyl amino acids (DNS-AAs) were baseline resolved. The separation in this case is based on a complex distribution mechanism of the dansyl derivatives between the free buffer and the intramolecular micellar-like phase of the water-soluble PSC. On the other hand, the additives of PAA/DTAB complex (phi=0.30) to the running buffer does not essentially affect on the electrophoretic behaviour of the CBZ-AAs, the variant MEKC is not realized. The influence of the concentration of the complex of PAA/DTAB on the electrophoretic behaviour of analytes was investigated. Relative retentions and relative selectivities were used for describing electrophoretic behaviour of the amino acid derivatives.

Abstract
Electrophoretic migration of analytes in capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) reflects the dissolved status of analytes in solution, and the electrophoretic mobility is controlled to develop the resolution among analytes by adding a "modifier" to the migrating solution. Such addition of modifier is essentially the utilization of molecular interactions. Precise measurement of electrophoretic mobility by CZE allows analyzing molecular interactions, and CZE apparatus is very useful for physicochemical measurements. This review focuses on the advantages on using CZE to analyze equilibrium reaction; the capillary electrophoretic method and mathematical analyses that apply acid dissociation and complex formation reactions are also validated. Ion association reactions are deeply related to analytical chemistry and separation science, and CZE has been used for the investigation of ion-ion interactions. Various types of interactions have been clarified through the CZE measurements: contributions of hydrophobicity, probability, and aromatic-aromatic interaction were quantitatively evaluated. Ion association reaction in aqueous solution also elucidates the stepwise reactions of liquid-liquid distribution of ion associates. Development and applications of ion association reaction in CZE analysis are also introduced.

Abstract
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a well-established method in modern analysis. The method is simple, very robust and is applicable to the majority of components to be analyzed in contrast to gas chromatography. Low efficiency and small peak capacity are sore points of HPLC when complex mixtures have to be separated. The reason for this dilemma is the small diffusion coefficient of the analytes in the liquid mobile phase compared to a gaseous phase. This review, complemented by exemplary calculated data and some latest results of our own research, illustrates the dilemma of liquid phase chromatography to achieve high efficiencies under reasonable conditions. It is shown that (micellar) electrokinetic chromatography, offering fast and efficient separations, is a very promising solution for this dilemma. Additional features of this method are possibilities of on-line analyte concentration, coupling to mass spectrometry and the easy change of selectivities by applying various separation additives. The pros and cons of electrokinetic chromatography are pointed out and some application examples are given.

Abstract
This review presents an overview of current research on the use of capillary electrophoretic techniques for the analysis of drugs in biological matrices. The discussion focuses on the applicability of the methods for the identification of unknown toxic compounds, which is defined as systematic toxicological analysis (STA). The aim is to establish whether or not capillary electrophoresis (CE), in one or more of its separation modes, is a method of choice in systematic toxicological analysis. To answer this question, various aspects are discussed, including sample work-up, separation modes, detection techniques, electrophoretic concentration, and identification by database retrieval. Several ways to improve the poor reproducibility and sensitivity are discussed. This leads to the conclusion that CE can be comparable to HPLC in those respects, while it is more favorable in speed, efficiency, and cost. Thus, we conclude that CE is a method of choice for STA, keeping in mind that every method has its limitations and that a combination of several non-correlated methods is always required for the identification of unknown compounds.

Abstract
Polyacrylic acid (PAA) and polymethacrylic acid (PMAA) with carboxyl groups partially blocked by dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) and tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) were tested as new pseudo-stationary phases in micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC). The separation of was examined using PAA and PMAA. Excellent resolution of the substituted phenols and derivatized amino acids was demonstrated using additives of PAA-DTAB polyelectrolyte complex in the running phosphate buffer. It was found that the capacity factors were proportional to the concentration of the complex PAA/DTAB. Critical micelle concentration was effectively zero. It was found that the migration times and efficiency of separation of phenols and derivatives of amino acids depended on the type of polymers and alkyltrimethylammonium salts used.

Abstract
The experimental conditions that produce analyte peak splitting in micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC) have been systematically investigated. The system studied was a neutral phosphate buffer and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles as pseudostationary phase. A number of analytes showing a wide variety of hydrophobicity values and several organic solvents as sample diluents have been tested. Peak splitting phenomena are mainly due to the presence of organic solvent in the sample solution. They increase with the hydrophobicity of the analyte and decrease with the increase of the surfactant concentration. When hydrophobic compounds are analyzed the suggested ways to avoid split peaks are: (i) the use of 1-propanol or 1-butanol as sample diluent instead of methanol or acetonitrile or (ii) the use of high concentration of surfactant in the separating solution when the analyte must be dissolved in pure methanol or acetonitrile.

Abstract
Neutral and inherently immobile polysaccharides are induced to migrate in an electric field through interactions with a detergent added to the electrophoretic electrolyte buffer. Before analysis the polysaccharides are converted to fluorescent derivatives to enable detection, but choice of a tag can also be utilized for modulation of the electrophoretic mobility. Three cases are discussed and exemplified, namely detergent-solute, detergent-solute+tag, and detergent-tag interactions. Anionic as well as cationic surfactants were exploited along with different derivatization reagents. Depending on the approach chosen, different kinds of information about sample composition and distribution(s) can be obtained, including degree of substitution, distribution of molecular weight (obtained in free solution without sieving media) and polymer conformation. A shift in polymer conformation upon a change in solvent composition can be monitored.

Abstract
The polyamines putrescine, cadaverine, spermine and spermidine were separated and quantified by micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) with laser-induced fluorescence detection. The derivatization reagent, 1-pyrenebutanoic acid succinimidyl ester (PSE), allowed for the selective detection of the polyamines at 490 nm. Multiple labeling of the polyamines with PSE allows the formation of intramolecular excimers that emit at longer wavelengths (450-520 nm) than mono-labeled analytes (360-420 nm). Optimal separation of the labeled polyamines was achieved using a separation buffer consisting of 10 mM phosphate pH 7.2, 30 mM cholate, and 30% acetonitrile. Using these conditions, the four polyamines were separated in under 10 min. Limits of detection for putrescine, cadaverine, spermine and spermidine were 6, 5, 15 and 13 nM, respectively. These are superior or comparable to those previously reported in the literature using fluorescence detection.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a modern separation technique that has some distinct advantages for toxicological analysis, such as a high efficiency, fast analysis, flexibility, and complementary separation mechanisms to chromatographic methods. CE can be applied in various modes, which each have a different separation mechanism or selectivity. The most common mode is capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE), in which charged analytes migrate in a buffer under the influence of an electric field. In micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC), micelles are added to the buffer which interact with the analytes. MEKC can also be used for the separation of neutral compounds. In non-aqueous CE (NACE), the aqueous buffer is replaced by a background of electrolytes in organic solvents. A sample that needs to be screened can easily be analyzed subsequently by these CE modes using the same instrumentation. The aim of the study was to develop procedures for the analysis of basic and acidic drugs in serum and urine using CZE, MEKC, and NACE. A test mixture that consisted of six basic and six acidic compounds was used to study the separation behavior of five CE methods. The results showed that three methods (based on CZE, MEKC, and NACE) were suitable for the analysis of basic compounds and three methods (based on CZE and MEKC) for the analysis of acidic compounds. For the extraction of analytes from serum and urine, a solid-phase extraction (SPE) and a liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) method were compared. Both SPE and LLE methods provided clean extracts after extraction of the basic compounds from serum and urine. The extracts of acidic compounds contained more matrix interferences, especially for urine. The SPE method had some advantages compared to LLE, as it lead to cleaner extracts and higher peaks, and as it elutes basic and acidic compounds in one fraction. The potentials and pitfalls of the various methods for screening purposes in analytical toxicology are discussed.

Abstract
A method used for quantitative analysis of bacitracin with micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC) is described. As capillary zone electrophoresis gave poor separation selectivity, MEKC was preferable. It was found that a zwitterionic surfactant, 3-(N,N-dimethylhexadecylammonium)-propanesulfonate (PAPS) gave the best selectivity among the several surfactants studied. As the analytes tend to adsorb onto the capillary wall due to their positive charge, an acidic solution composed of Tris-phosphate buffer at pH 2.5 was necessary to diminish such adsorption. The peak tailing caused by relatively strong ion pair interaction between the analyte and PAPS micelle could be reduced by adding nonionic surfactant Brij 35 to the PAPS solution. This phenomenon is possibly explained by a mixed micelle mechanism. In order to obtain the optimal conditions and to test the method robustness, a central composite experimental design was performed. The optimal conditions are as follows: 44 cm length of fused-silica capillary with 50 microm inner diameter, 90 mM Tris-phosphate buffer (pH 2.5) containing 17 mM PAPS and 0.3% w/v-Brij 35, 18 kV applied voltage, UV detection at 192 nm and 25 degrees C column temperature. Under the optimal conditions, more than 50 peaks could be obtained in 30 min. The method had a linearity range from 1 to 0.05 mg/mL (concentration of bacitracin A). The limit of quantitation (LOQ) and limit of detection (LOD) were 0.005 and 0.0012 mg/mL, respectively.

Abstract
Octyl- and nonylphenol ethoxylates (OPEs and NPEs) with different numbers of ethoxy units (average values: n = 10 and N = 40 for OPEs, and n = 10 for NPEs) were separated by micellar electrokinetic chromatography under positive polarity using an 80 mM borate buffer of pH 8.5 containing sodium deoxycholate (SDC) or sodium cholate (SC). When sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was added to the background electrolyte (BGE) in the absence of the bile salt, a single peak at a migration time longer than that of the EOF was obtained. Substituting the SDS by a bile salt, the homologues were resolved. At the same bile salt concentration, resolution between the homologues was higher with SDC than using SC. Optimum resolution between consecutive homologues was obtained with 50 mM SDC. In the presence of low or moderate amounts of acetonitrile or n-propanol, the background line improved significantly, whereas resolution may increase or decrease slightly. We propose a procedure for the determination of OPEs and NPEs with optimum resolution between the homologues as well as a modified procedure with improved selectivity for the single-run determination of other absorbing nonionic, cationic, and anionic (such as linear alkylbenzene sulfonates) surfactants in industrial and household cleaning products and its application to a variety of samples. The detection limit was ca. 28 microg x mL(-1) of total NPE (n = 10), and peak area repeatabilities at 50 microg x mL(-1) were 1.7% (intraday) and 5.6% (interday).
