A free zone capillary electrophoresis (CZE) system, with diode array detection, was used in the analysis of ephedrine and 9 amphetamines. The method was quantitative, offering better resolution than gas chromatography (GC), without the need for sample derivatisation. Under hydrodynamic injection, the concentrations of drug at which detection limits were reached lay between 13 and 68 micrograms/ml, with detection at 214 nm, these limits being of the same order of magnitude as those of GC. Analysis of casework samples by the two methods demonstrated the advantages of CZE with diode array detection over conventional GC for amphetamine identification and quantification.

D002849 Chromatography, Gas Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.
