Abstract
This study presents an optimized method for determining major anions (chloride, sulfate, phosphate, citrate, and lactate) in human serum using capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) with indirect photometric detection. A comparative analysis was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of an electroosmotic flow (EOF) modifier (cetyltrimethylammonium hydroxide—CTAOH) and an ion-pairing reagent (tetrabutylammonium hydroxide—TBAOH). The optimal electrolyte composition (10 mM chromate, 16 mM DEA, 0.5 mM CTAOH) was determined, ensuring high separation quality and detection sensitivity. An improved sample preparation method, involving protein precipitation with acetonitrile, was implemented. Achieved limits of detection were 6 mg/L for sulfate, 12 mg/L for phosphate, 10 mg/L for citrate, and 16 mg/L for lactate. The method’s validation characteristics (spike-recovery of 90–111%, relative standard deviation (RSD) ≤ 10%) demonstrate high accuracy and reproducibility.
期刊介绍:
Separation sciences, in all their various forms such as chromatography, field-flow fractionation, and electrophoresis, provide some of the most powerful techniques in analytical chemistry and are applied within a number of important application areas, including archaeology, biotechnology, clinical, environmental, food, medical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, polymer and biopolymer research. Beyond serving analytical purposes, separation techniques are also used for preparative and process-scale applications. The scope and power of separation sciences is significantly extended by combination with spectroscopic detection methods (e.g., laser-based approaches, nuclear-magnetic resonance, Raman, chemiluminescence) and particularly, mass spectrometry, to create hyphenated techniques. In addition to exciting new developments in chromatography, such as ultra high-pressure systems, multidimensional separations, and high-temperature approaches, there have also been great advances in hybrid methods combining chromatography and electro-based separations, especially on the micro- and nanoscale. Integrated biological procedures (e.g., enzymatic, immunological, receptor-based assays) can also be part of the overall analytical process.
