title: Optimization of conductivity detection of low-molecular-mass anions in capillary zone electrophoresis.
abstract: The optimization of background electrolyte compositions for capillary zone electrophoresis in combination with conductivity detection focusing on maximal detector response is discussed. A theoretical approach pointing out the influence of the electrolyte co- and counter-ion mobilities on the detector signal has been developed. Using this model, running buffer compositions providing optimum S/N ratios for the selected analytes could be calculated. The results derived from these examinations have been verified by experimental investigations, namely the determination of inorganic and organic anionic solutes.
