A novel method for the determination of ephedra alkaloids (methylephedrine and pseudoephedrine) was developed by electrophoresis capillary (CE) separation and electrochemiluminesence detection (ECL). The use of ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, BMIMBF(4)) improved the detection sensitivity markedly. The conditions for CE

The effect of cosurfactant identity on microemulsion size, elution range, retention factor, enantioselectivity, methylene selectivity, efficiency, and resolution in chiral microemulsion formulations was examined. The chiral surfactant dodecoxycarbonylvaline was used in conjunction with the cosurfactants 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, 2-pentanol, 1-hexanol, 2-hexanol

A new approach for the determination of methylephedrine hydrochloride (ME), thebaine, codeine phosphate (CP), and acetylcodeine (AC) was established by CE-ECL with ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate). The conditions for the CE separation, ECL detection, and the effect of ionic liquid
