Separation and Characterization of Synthetic Polyelectrolytes and Polysaccharides with Capillary Electrophoresis

Figure 1

Separation by CE at high pH (12.6) and with direct UV detection of a depolymerized plant fiber sample plotted as a function of electrophoretic mobility (a) and of migration time (b). The sample contains cellobiose, (2) galactose, (3) glucose, (4) rhamnose, (5) arabinose, and (6) xylose (the molecular structures are given for the sole purpose of identification, and they are in equilibrium with a number of linear and charged forms) [30].
