Micellar Electrokinetic Capillary Chromatography (MEKC/MECC)
MEKC
is a mode of electrokinetic chromatography in which surfactants are added to the
buffer solution at concentrations that form micelles. The separation principle of MEKC is
based on a differential partition between the micelle and the solvent. This principle can be
employed with charged or neutral solutes and may involve stationary or mobile micelles.
MEKC has great utility in separating mixtures that contain both ionic and neutral species, and
has become valuable in the separation of very hydrophobic pharmaceuticals from their very
polar metabolites.
