Mirror-Image β-l-Cyclodextrin as a Chiral Pseudophase in Capillary Electrophoresis.

Posted by

In this study, the chiral separation of 38 analytes was investigated with capillary electrophoresis and the enantiomeric selectivity was compared utilizing -d-CD and -l-CD as CE pseudophases. Additionally, the parameters affecting the CE separation, including pH of the run buffer, capillary voltage, and ionic strength of the buffer, were examined. For the first time, the opposite enantioselectivity of the -l-CD was utilized to facilitate challenges in the quantitation of chiral impurities in pharmaceutical compounds.

The separation voltage was 25 kV.
