internal diameter When a voltage is applied to the solution,the molecules move through the solutiontowards the electrode of opposite charge

Electrophoresis a separation technique based on
the differential transportation of charged species in an electric fieldthrough a conductive medium.
Primary candidates for CE separationare ions.
The basic instrumental set-up, consistsof a high voltage power supply (0 to30 kV), a fused silica (SiO2) capillary,two buffer reservoirs, two electrodes,and an on-column detector.

Capillary electrophoresis(CE)
is a family of related techniques that employ
narrow-bore (20-200 mm i.d.) capillaries toperform high efficiency separations of bothlarge and small molecules .
separations are facilitated by the use of high voltages, which may generateelectroosmotic and electrophoretic flowof buffer solutions and ionic species,respectively, within the capillary .
The properties of the separation and theensuing electropherogram havecharacteristics resembling a cross

under ideal conditions, nothing isretained, so the analogous termbecomes migration time.
The migration time ( tm) is thetime it takes a solute to movefrom the beginning of the capillaryto the detector window.
Other fundamental terms are definedbelow. These include theelectrophoretic mobility, mep(cm2/Vs), the electrophoreticvelocity, vep (cm/s), and the

Electroosmosis This phenomenon is a consequence
of the surface charge on the wall of the capillary.
A vitally important feature of CE isthe bulk flow of liquid through thecapillary.
This is called the electroosmotic flowand is caused as follows

Flow Profile in CE A further key feature of EOF is that it has flat flow
profile, which is shown in Figure alongside the
parabolic flow profile generated by an externalpump, as used for HPLC.
EOF has a flat profile because its driving force (ie.,charge on the capillary wall) is uniformly
distributed along the capillary, which means thatno pressure drops are encountered and the flowvelocity is uniform across the
capillary.
In HPLC, in which frictional forces at the column wallscause a pressure drop across the column, yieldinga parabolic or laminar flow profile.
The flat profile of EOF is important because itminimizes zone broadening, leading to highseparation efficiencies that allow separations onthe basis of mobility differences as small as 0.05

Electropherogram
The data output from CE ispresented in the form of an electropherogram,which is analogous to achromatogram.
An electropherogram is a
plot of migration time vs.detector response. The detector response is
usually concentrationdependent, such as UV-visible absorbance orfluorescence.

Effects of voltage andtemperature
Both the electroosmotic andelectrophoretic velocities are directlyproportional to the field strength, so theuse of the highest voltages possible will
result in the shortest times for theseparation. Short separation times will give the
highest efficiencies since diffusion is the
most important feature contributing tobandbroadening.
The limiting factor here is Joule heating.Experimentally, the optimal voltage isdetermined by performing runs at

The electrophoreticmobility and theelectroosmoticflow expressions bothcontain a viscosity term in thedenominator.
Viscosity is a function of temperature;therefore, precise temperature controlis important. As the temperatureincreases, the viscosity decreases;thus, the electrophoretic mobilityincreases as well.
Some buffers such as Tris are known tobe pH-sensitive with temperature. Forcomplex separations such as peptide
maps, even small pH shifts can alter

Summary
1. CE is based on the principles of electrophoresis.
2. The speed of movement or migration of solutes in CE is determined by their
3. size and charge. Small, highly chargedsolutes will migrate more quickly thanlarge, less charged solutes.
4. Bulk movement of solutes is caused by EOF.5. The speed of EOF can be adjusted by
changing the buffer pH used.6. The flow profile of EOF is flat, yielding high
separation efficiencies.7. The data output from CE is called an
electropherogram.

Capillary zoneelectrophoresis
Simplest form of CE. Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE),
(free solution capillary
electrophoresis) The separation mechanism is based
on differences in the charge-to-
mass ratio Fundamental to CZE are
homogeneity of the buffersolution and constant field
8/9/2019 Capillary Electrophoresis Gammaru_caspe
35/47
The net charge is usually pH
dependent. Separations of both large and small
molecules can be accomplished byCZE.
Even small molecules, where thecharge-to-mass ratio differencesmay not be great, may still beseparable.

Effect of pH. At a high pH where EOF is substantial, the
order of migration will be cations, neutrals,and anions. None of the neutral molecules willbe separated since the net charge is zero.
The anions will still migrate toward the cathodebecause the EOF is greater than theelectrophoretic migration.
At lower pH where the EOF is greatly reduced,both cations and anions can still bemeasured, although not in a single run. Tomeasure anions, the anode must be beyondthe detector window. Likewise, to measurecations, the cathode must reside beyond thedetector window.
The proper electricalconfiguration is achievedby simply reversing the polarity of the

Buffers A wide variety of buffers can beemployed in CZE. buffer is most effective within one or
two pH units of its pI. Zwitterionic buffers such as bicine,
tricine, CAPS, MES, and Tris are alsocommon, particularly for protein andpeptide separations. The advantageof the zwitterionic buffer is its lowconductivity when the buffer isemployed around the pI.
The advantage therein is the lowcurrent draw andthus reduced oule

Isoelectric focusing The fundamental premise of isoelectric
focusing (IEF) is that a molecule willmigrate so long as it is charged.
IEF is run in a pH gradient where the pH islow at the anode and high at the cathode .
The pH gradient is generated with a seriesof zwitterionic chemicals known ascarrier
ampholytes. When a voltage is applied, the
ampholyte mixture separates in thecapillary.
Ampholytes that are positively charged will
migrate towards the cathode while thosene ativel char ed mi rate towards the

Application In addition to performing high
resolution separations, IEF isuseful for determining the pI of aprotein.
IEF is particularly usefulforseparating immunoglobulins,
hemoglobin variants and post-translational modifications of recombinant proteins.
