title: On-line preconcentration and enantioselective separation of triadimenol by electrokinetic chromatography using cyclodextrins as chiral selectors.
abstract: Enantioselective separation of triadimenol, a component of systemic agricultural fungicide, by electrokinetic chromatography (EKC) using cyclodextrins (CDs) as chiral selectors was investigated. Both a neutral CD derivative, hydroxypropyl-gamma-CD (HP-gamma-CD), and an ionic one, heptakis-6-sulfato-beta-CD (HS-beta-CD), were employed as an additive in cyclodextrin-modified micellar electrokinetic chromatography (CD-MEKC) and as a chiral pseudostationary phase in CDEKC, respectively. In each system, four stereoisomeric peaks were completely or partially separated from each other. To enhance the detectability or the concentration sensitivity, on-line preconcentration techniques were applied to both EKC systems. Sweeping was used in the CD-MEKC system under an acidic condition, whereas stacking with a reverse migrating pseudostationary phase (SRMP) in the CDEKC system. Around 10-fold increase in the detection sensitivity for each peak was attained with both sweeping and SRMP systems. Good repeatabilities in the migration time, corrected peak area, and peak height were recognized in terms of the relative standard deviation. The limit of detection for each peak in the SRMP-CDEKC system, calculated from the calibration curve, was found to be 0.8-3.8 ppm.
