Separation and Characterization of Synthetic Polyelectrolytes and Polysaccharides with Capillary Electrophoresis
Figure 5
Separation of chitosan samples by their DA with CE (sodium phosphate, pH 3): electropherogram shown as a function of (a) migration time and (b) apparent electrophoretic mobility. Samples with different degrees of acetylation (weight-average DA determined by NMR spectroscopy) are shown: black solid line (4%), green dashed line (4.3%), blue dashed-dotted line (16.5%), red dashed line (18.7%), pink dashed line (19.8%), brown dotted line (22.4%), and black dotted line (23.6%) [40].
