Electrochromatography

Edit

An electric field superimposed on a chromatographic bed, so that electroosmotic flow and electrophoretic migration act together with chromatographic retention, defines electrochromatography, most often implemented as capillary electrochromatography (CEC). The stationary phase may be a packed bed, a surface-grafted open tube, or an in situ formed porous monolith; the mobile phase is driven primarily by electroosmosis rather than by a pressure drop [1]. Rigid polymer monoliths allow independent control of pore structure and surface chemistry, which in turn set permeability, electroosmotic mobility, and chromatographic selectivity [2]. Conceptual boundaries exclude pressure-driven micro-HPLC in the same capillary, and they exclude free-zone capillary electrophoresis that lacks a stationary phase. Essential features are a charged or chargeable surface that supports electroosmosis, a stationary phase that partitions or adsorbs the solutes, and an applied voltage that generates the flow [3]. Monolithic and bead-trapping formats extend the same electrochromatographic principle from fused-silica capillaries to microfluidic channels [4].
