A CE instrument that can be assembled from commercially available components with minimal construction effort is described. Except for the electronic control circuitry no specially made parts are required. It is based on a flexible design of microfluidic, electropneumatic, and electronic sections and different configurations can easily be implemented. Automated injection into the capillary is performed hydrodynamically by the application of a pressure for a controlled length of time. The performance of the device was tested with a contactless conductivity detector by separating different metal ions. In addition, nine metal cations related to the quality of honey were separated in 2.3 min and four honey samples were analysed quantitatively to demonstrate the applicability of the method.

由市售部件组装而成的低成本自动化毛细管电泳仪器。


描述了一种可以用市售组件以最少的施工工作组装而成的 CE 仪器。除电子控制电路外，不需要特制零件。它基于微流体、电动气动和电子部分的灵活设计，并且可以轻松实现不同的配置。通过在受控时间长度内施加压力，以流体动力学方式自动注射到毛细管中。使用非接触式电导检测器通过分离不同的金属离子来测试该装置的性能。此外，在2.3 min内分离出9种与蜂蜜品质相关的金属阳离子，并对4个蜂蜜样品进行定量分析，证明了该方法的适用性。
