Title: Analytical electromigration techniques
Task Group
Chairman: J. �. J�nsson
Member: M-L. Riekkola
Completion Date: 2004 - project completed
Objective:
Provide definitions and terms in the field of capillary migration
techniques in analytical chemistry (capillary electrophoresis, capillary
electrochromatography, and several variations).
Description:
Capillary electrophoresis in all its aspects including micellar
chromatography and electrochromatography is a rapidly expanding area
of analytical chemistry. The high resolution and ability to separate
very small quantities of ionised compounds means that it is a complementary
technique to liquid chromatography and has potential in the pharmaceutical
and food industry and potential values for environmental studies. Although
some of the terminology can be taken from the electrophoresis field
the rapid advances in many laboratories means that there is a danger
that different terms and definitions will occur in different parts of
the world. This project is aimed at reaching a consensus on an agreed
series of definition and terms that will be widely accepted throughout
the analytical community
Progress:
A final document is submitted to public review comments until 31 January
2002 > see provisional
recommendations
Project completed - IUPAC Recommendations published in Pure
Appl. Chem.
76(2), 443-451, 2004. Selected terms will be included in the web
version of the Gold Book.
