Capillary Electrophoresis Instrumentation

In this experiment, you will repeat the analysis you did (or will do) in the HPLC experiment. You will compare two different modes, Capillary Zone Electrophoresis (CZE) and Micellar Electrokinetic Capillary Chromatography (MEKC), to achieve the same separation. Differences in resolution and retention times will be observed and explained. Differences, if any, between the results obtained by HPLC and CE will also be addressed. The Instrument used can be seen in Figure 1.1
