چکیده

Um sistema automatizado de análise foi projetado pelo acoplamento de microamostrador difusional baseado em uma membrana capilar microporosa (CMDS) com a separação por eletroforese capilar (CE) e detecção condutométrica sem contato (CD). O volume interno do CMDS, da ordem de 30 mL, combinado com a demanda de nanolitros dos equipamentos de CE-CD, levou à concepção de um sistema automatizado de gerenciamento de fluido de baixo custo e livre de manutenção recorrente, baseado em bombas de aquário e válvulas de estrangulamento controladas via software, uma interface CMDS-CE de pequeno volume e um equipamento robusto de CE operado com injeção hidrodinâmica. Como exemplo de aplicação do sistema, foi demonstrada a amostragem conjunta de ácido fórmico e ácido acético no ar, com elevados fatores de pré-concentração em fase líquida, e quantificação por CE-CD a uma frequência de operação ininterrupta de 10 análises completas por hora. Os limites de detecção estimados foram de 1,2 mg m para o ácido fórmico e 3,0 mg m de ácido acético no ar, com resposta linear no intervalo de concentração usual desses analitos em fase gasosa da atmosfera.

Determination of haloacetic acids in water using solid-phase extraction/microchip capillary electrophoresis with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection.

Haloacetic acids (HAAs) were determined by a fast and simple analysis method based on microchip electrophoresis and capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C(4)D). Two chlorinated acetic acids, dichloroacetic acid (DCAA) and TCA were detected in swimming pool water. Different BGEs were tested, and sodium carbonate was selected as BGE for the separation and detection in the repo...
