Title: Gradient elution for micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography

A method for performing gradient elution in micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography is developed. The influence of temperature and mobile phase organic solvent concentration on capacity factors is presented and attributed to changes in phase ratio and solute distribution coefficient. Solvent programming is more effective than temperature programming at adjusting retention due to its greater influence on distribution coefficient. As anticipated, phase ratio changes could not be exploited due to concomitant losses in column efficiency. A stepwise solvent gradient involving increasing concentrations of 2-propanol and Triton-X-100 is used for the separation of a test mixture of derivatized amines.
