Abstract

Combination of two online sample preconcentration techniques, large-volume sample stacking with an electroosmotic flow pump (LVSEP) and field-amplified sample injection (FASI), was investigated to improve a poor sensitivity of microchip electrophoresis. In the LVSEP-FASI-microchip zone electrophoresis (MCZE) analysis of fluorescein, a 60,000-fold sensitivity increase was achieved both in the single straight channel and Y-channel compared with conventional MCZE. A baseline separation of maltoheptaose (G7) and free dye was also obtained with a 10,000-fold sensitivity increase by LVSEP-FASI in the capillary-based single channel analysis. The relative standard deviations of the detection time and the peak height were 2.4% and 11%, respectively.
