Eletroforese capilar acoplada à espectrometria com plasma: uma ferramenta eficiente para a especiação Capillary electrophoresis coupled to plasma spectrometry: an efficient tool for speciation

Abstract

The most important features of the CE-ICP hyphenation, as well as its advantages and drawbacks as a tool for speciation are discussed. The fundamental principles of capillary electrophoresis and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry are also presented. Some applications involving different designs proposed in the literature to couple CE and ICP system for elemental speciation are reviewed.
