Chapter 30, Problem 30.8QAP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Theadvantage of micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography over conventional liquid chromatography needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography or MECC is modified form of capillary electrophoresis wherein the samples are separated by partitioning the micelles and buffer solution. Micelle are a group of 40 and above surfactant molecules wherein the hydrocarbon tail points inward while the negative charged head point outwards.

Conventional liquid chromatography involves mobile phase which is liquid that is carried out in column or plane.
