β¦ Synopsis
The on-line coupling of capillary zone electrophoresis with mass spectrometry (CZE-MS) for the separation of enantiomers is hampered by the presence of nonvolatile chiral selectors such as cyclodextrins in the separation buffer. This problem can be overcome by use of the partial filling technique where only a part of the capillary is filled with the separation buffer containing chiral selectors. Since the electroosmotic flow is almost completely suppressed at acidic pH, that dimethyl-beta-cyclodextrin is neutral, no free cyclodextrin would reach the MS detector when using a partially filled capillary. By this method, clenbuterol enantiomers were successfully resolved and separated from salbutamol (internal standard) in aqueous solution and in plasma samples. A solid-phase extraction (SPE) was used for the preparation of plasma samples before analysis.
