Capillary electrophoresis i.k.
This approach to enantiomer
analysis has made significant impact on the pharmaceutical industry's approach to assessing
drugs containing enantiomers.
Micro Emulsion Electrokinetic Chromatography (MEEKC)
MEEKC is a CE technique in which solutes partition with moving oil droplets in buffer. The
microemulsion droplets are usually formed by sonicating immicible heptane or octane with
water. SDS is added at relatively high concentrations to stabilize the emulsion. This allows
the separation of both aqueous and waterinsoluble compounds, and is used effectively by the

pharmaceutical industry as generic methodology to analyze a broad spectrum of
