A metal nebulizer capillary electrophoresis/Fourier transform infrared spectrometric interface.

A capillary electrophoretic (CE) system has been successfully interfaced to a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. The advantage of such an interface is that analytes may be detected and often unequivocally identified without analyte derivatization. The interface consists of a stainless steel tube in which the CE capillary is placed and the two are held in contact with the use of a metal tee.
