Popis: | This investigation demonstrates the application of a new peak sharpening technique to improve the separation of difficult-to-resolve racemic mixtures in capillary electro-chromatography. Molecularly imprinted porous layer open tubular (MIP-PLOT) capillaries, prepared by a layer-on-layer polymerization approach with Z-l-Asp-OH as the template, were selected to validate the approach. SEM revealed that the polymer film thickness can be varied by changes in both the polymer composition and the layer-on-layer regime. Capillaries made with methacrylic acid as the functional monomer could not separate the Z-Asp-OH racemate, due to weak interactions between the MIP-PLOT material and the target analytes. In contrast, MIP-PLOT capillaries prepared with 4-vinylpyridine as the functional monomer resulted in increased ionic interactions with the target analytes. Separation of the enantiomers could be enhanced when a peak zone sharpening effect was exploited through the use of specific BGE compositions and by taking advantage of eigenpeak phenomena. In this manner, the position of a sharpening zone and the peak shape of the sample analytes could be fine-tuned, so that when the sharpening zone and the target analyte co-migrated the separation of the Z-l-Asp-OH enantiomer from its d-enantiomer in a racemic mixture could be achieved under overloading conditions. |
