Chapter 30, Problem 30.4QAP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The principle of separation by CZE is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The capillary zone electrophoresis is a type of electrophoresis in which separation of buffer solution takes place because of electrosoomotic flow. The buffer solution remains constant throughout the separation process. The rate of electrosoomotic flow controls the rate of migrating particles. The ionic compounds are easily separated by this method. The separation solution depends on the physical characteristics of the compound such as hydrodynamic radius, charge and ionic force of ions.
