A capillary electrophoresis with electrochemical detection（CE-ED） method was developed for the quality analysis of herbal medicine products prepared from the same herb of Herba Sarcandrae： Fufang Caoshanhu tablets, Qingrexiaoyanning capsules, and Xuekang oral liquids. Under the optimal analysis conditions, the low detection limit[l.0×10^-7 mol/L（S/N=3）] and the wide linear range（1.0×10^-7-1.0×10^-4 mol/L） were obtained for quality standard compound of isofraxidin. The precisions of the peak current and the migration time（as RSDs） for the real sample analysis were 2.0%-2.6%, and 1.2%-1.8% for isofraxidin, respectively. The contents of isofraxidin detected were 15.77 μg/tablet, 0.48 mg/capsule, 1.2 mg/ampoule（Jiangxi）, and 0.44 mg/ampoule（Dalian） for Fufang Caoshanhu tablets, Qingrexiaoyanning capsules, and Xuekang oral liquids from different manufacturers, respectively. Quality estimate was conducted by comparing the contents of isofraxidin in the herbal medicine products with the demanded values of Chinese pharmacopeia. In addition, based on their own unique CE-ED profiles（namely, CE-ED electropherograms） the Xuekang oral liquids from the different manufacturers could be easily identified.

Fast Determination of Clenbuterol and Salbutamol in Feed and Meat Products Based on Miniaturized Capillary Electrophoresis with Amperometric Detection

The fast separation capability of a novel miniaturized capillary electrophoresis with an amperometric detection （μCE-AD） system was demonstrated by determining clenbuterol and salbutamol in real samples. The effects of several factors such as the acidity and concentration of the running buffer, the separation voltage, the applied potential and the injection time on CE-AD were examined and optimized.

The proposed method has been successfully applied to direct deter- mination of EDA content in different batches of Aminophylline Tablets. The method does not require off-line preconcentration and derivatization steps, which should find wide application fields including pharmaceuticals as an alternative to conventional and microchip CE approaches.

A simple, reliable and reproducible method, based on capillary zone electrophoresis with amperometric detection （CZE-AD）, has been developed for simultaneous determination of four active ingredients in Vc Yinqiao tablets including paracetamol, vitamin C, caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid.

The composition of laminarin was firstly determined by analyzing its hydrolysis monosaccharides with capillary zone electrophoresis-amperometric detection (CZE-AD). Under the selected optimum conditions, fucose, galactose, glucose, mannose and xylose, which are hydrolysis products of laminarin, could be perfectly separated within 20 min and showed significant current responses at copper electrodes. The linear ranges of fucose, galactose and glucose were from 1.0×10 -6 to 2.0×10 -4 mol·L -1, those of mannose and xylose were from 5.0×10 -6 to 2.0×10 -4 mol·L -1, and their detection limits were at 10 -7 mol·L -1 level (S/N=3). The molar ratio of fucose, galactose, glucose, mannose and xylose in laminarin was 10.5∶2.8∶1.0∶7.3∶3.4 and the purity of this polysaccharide leached by the introduced leaching method was 95.7%. Compared to usual UV-vis and other spectrometric methods, analyzing polysaccharide by this method has some merits of quickness, low-volume sampling, simple instrumentation, high sensitivity and high reproducibility.

Electrochemical Determination of Salivary N-Acetylneuraminic Acid by Miniaturized Capillary Electrophoresis Coupled with Sample Stacking

Due to their important biological role as markers for different pathologies, sialic acid （SA） analyses are important for clinical research. In this work, a miniaturized capillary electrophoresis with amperometrie detection （mini-CE-AD） was developed for the determination of N-aeetylneuraminic acid （NANA）, which is the most widespread form of SAs. NANA was first oxidized by periodic acid in an acidic solution, and then the oxidation product β-formyl pyruvic acid was derivatized with electroactive 2-thiobarbituric acid （TBA） to form an electroactive NANA-TBA adduct, which could be readily determined by mini-CE-AD. The limit of detection （LOD） of NANA-TBA could achieve 0.50 μg/mL （1.6 μmol·L-1, S/N=3） based on an online enrichment approach of moving chemical reaction boundary. The proposed method was successfully applied to the analysis of NANA in human saliva, and the recoveries were in the range of 91.8%-109% with RSDs of 1.8%-3.9%. Due to its simple design and construction, low cost and portability, the mini-CE-AD device will possess more practicability in more field work as an alternative to conventional and microchip CE approaches.

Detection of Catecholic Compounds with Field-ampilfied CZE-Amperometry

On-column sample stacking technique has been used extensively in capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) to enhance the sensitivity of the measurements with UV-Vis detection. However, the detection limits for CZE-separation are still limit- ed due to the poor sensitivity of a UV-Vis detector. We incorporated field-amplified sample stacking technique into CZE with amperometric detection. Compared with the conventional electromigration injection , a negative peak of water was observed and a great enhancement of signals was obtained. The results in phosphate buffer with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS ) and 2-N-(morpholino) ethane sulphonic acid ( MES ) buffer were compared. Subnanomolar concentration limits for cate- cholamine neurotransmitters (dopamine, norepinephrine , epinephriine) and isopro- terenol were achieved in the 25 um capillary with two or three orders of magnitude lower than those with amperometric detection reported previously.
