A preconcentration approach for CE-MS using counterflow-assisted electrokinetic injection was proposed. The proposed preconcentration method was based on a counterflow-compatible sheathless interface. The interface was fabricated using a capillary-assembled PDMS microdevice that allowed the application of a counterflow and provided liquid-film electrical conduction. During electrokinetic injection, a hydrodynamic counterflow was introduced into the separation capillary to retard the movement of the stacking boundary to the CE outlet. Accordingly, a long injection time was achieved without a loss of CE separation. With the use of reverse polarity mode and a dynamic polybrene-coated separation capillary (filled with a 1% formic acid solution), a counterflow-assisted electrokinetic injection of peptide samples (in a aqueous solution containing 1% ammonia and 50% methanol) for 10 min provided a sensitivity enhancement of 750-1480 and a detection limit of 20 pM for the five peptide standards. The proposed technique was applied to the analysis of low nanomolar concentrations myoglobin tryptic peptides.

A rapid and sensitive enrichment technique, field enhanced sample injection-dynamic pH junction-sweeping (FESI-DypH-sweeping) was successfully developed for the simultaneous separation and concentration of alkaloids and stereoisomers of Uncariae ramulus cum uncis (UR) by cyclodextrin electrokinetic chromatography (CDEKC) with diode array detection system. The sample was prepared in a low-conductivity (FESI), low-pH (DypH) sample matrix (4 mM phosphate buffer, 3% methanol, pH=3), and the background electrolyte (BGE) consisted of a high-conductivity, high-pH buffer (40 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, 8 mg/mL carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin, and 30% methanol).

Article Synopsis
- The research aimed to create a new method for quantifying nanoplastics in water samples, even with the presence of microplastics and other particles, by using fluorescent organic dyes for binding.
- The study demonstrated effective binding to polystyrene nanoparticles, indicated by changes in zeta potential, and used centrifugation to separate free dyes from bound particles before analyzing them through capillary electrophoresis and fluorescence detection.
- This novel approach allows for fast screening of water samples, achieving high binding percentages and confirming minimal interference from other substances, making it suitable for rapid testing of various water sources.

Herein, we proposed and demonstrated a novel approach of combining electrokinetics (EK)-assisted delivery of persulfate (PS) and ultrasound-induced thermal activation of PS and release of heavy metals, to synchronously remove organic pollutants and heavy metals from soil. Results showed that in tested soil, the mass transfer efficiency of PS induced by electromigration was approximately 3.36 times that by electroosmotic flow and 1416 times that by diffusion.

A new micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatographic (MEKC) method has been developed and optimized for simultaneous quantitation of doxorubicin (Dox) and fullerenol (Frl) in rat serum. The separation was carried out in a capillary (48.5-40 cm to the detector - 50 µm id fused-silica capillary with bubble cell, 150 µm) at an applied voltage of 25 kV and temperature of 25 °C.

Electrokinetic remediation (EKR) has shown great potential for the remediation of in situ contaminated soils. For heavy metal-contaminated soft clay with high moisture content and low permeability, an electrokinetic remediation method with electrolytes placed above the ground surface is used to avoid issues such as electrolyte leakage and secondary contamination that may arise from directly injecting electrolytes into the soil. In this context, using this novel experimental device, a set of citric acid (CA)-enhanced EKR tests were conducted to investigate the optimal design parameters for Cu- and Zn-contaminated soft clay.
