1. SFC and SF Extraction Intermediate between HPLC and GC SF are substances above their critical pressure and temperature (critical point SFs has great solvating power and high diffusivity (CO 2 most common, CT = 31  C, CP = 73 atm) –Can solvate non-volatiles –Can flow at high linear flow rates –Can use longer columns –Can connect to GC or HPLC detectors –Pressure/Temp gradients, mobile phase actively participates in separation; MeOH additives

2. Capillary Electrophoresis Small open tubular capillary High voltage Electrolyte Small sample plug Electrophoretic mobility –  = (q/f)(E) detector

3. Why cap electrophoresis? Separation of ions High separation efficiency –No stationary phase –Plug profile –Only longitudinal diffusion term –Very high plate numbers, 10 6

7. Challenges Need a small sample size (concentrated sample) –Pre-concentrate large sample –stacking Can not separate neutrals –Add micelles –Pre-concentrate large sample –stacking

8. Stacking Fill capillary with buffer of weaker ionic strength, 0.10 NaCl Add a large plug of sample with higher ionic strength Create a sandwich by adding weaker buffer Apply voltage for a brief while Change leads and apply voltage for a while Change back and start analysis
