Abstract
Retention factors in capillary electrochromatography (CEC) were calculated by means of theoretically derived equations and experimentally determined parameters in microcolumn liquid chromatography and capillary zone electrophoresis. It was found that the retention factor of uncharged components in CEC was about 20% higher than was calculated. The derived equations do not take into account alteration of the nature of the stationary phase or distribution constant by the applied electric field. However, the influence of the electric field on the retention in CEC can be estimated. Individual field contributions could not be determined.
