Capillary Electrophoresis
B
eckman Instruments, Inc., was founded by Dr. Arnold O. Beckman in 1935
with the invention of the pH meter, a project initiated from a colleague’s
need to monitor the acidity of citrus juice. Since then, Beckman Coulter
has grown into a 1.8 billion-dollar corporation with many scientific firsts to its
credit. Commercial electrophoresis systems were first introduced by Beckman in
1953 with the development of the Model H, a Tiselius cell with Schlieren photography
and advanced optics. Since that time electrophoresis has played an important role
in Beckman’s bioresearch and clinical diagnostic developments.
Beckman’s contributions to capillary electrophoresis (CE) began in 1989
with the launch of the P/ACE 2000. This instrumentation boasted many CE firsts
including a cartridge design with liquid thermostating of the capillary, micropreparative fraction collection and automated personal computer control. Since
the introduction of the P/ACE, Beckman Coulter has been the acknowledged leader
in the development of CE technology with advancements in hardware, software
and chemistry. These advancements included laser-induced
fluorescence, diode-array detection, independent sample and buffer temperature
control, advanced CE data reduction and a myriad of CE chemistries.
These advancements soon moved from generic CE to applied instrumentation
first seen with the release of the Paragon CZE 2000, a multi-capillary system for
automated serum protein analysis in clinical diagnostics. This was soon followed by
the P/ACE MDQ, a rugged line of instrumentation for pharmaceutical/biotechnology
methods development and quality control. The CEQ 2000XL, a multi-capillary fully
automated DNA Sequencing System, the dual-wavelength P/ACE MDQ LIF detection
system, and the P/ACE MDQ-LCQ CE-MS/MS system are the newest additions.
Beckman Coulter continues to lead the field of capillary electrophoresis,
strongly committed to further CE research and development. Our direction is guided
by you, to apply this core technology to systems providing key analytical solutions.

CAPILLARY ELECTROPHORESIS
A SIMPLE TECHNIQUE
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a family of related
separation techniques that use narrow-bore fusedsilica capillaries to separate a complex array of
large and small molecules. High voltages are used
to separate molecules based on differences in charge,
size and hydrophobicity. Injection into the capillary is
accomplished by immersing the end of the capillary
into a sample vial and applying pressure, vacuum
or voltage. Depending on the types of capillary and
buffers, CE can be segmented into several separation
techniques. Examples of these include:
CAPILLARY ZONE ELECTROPHORESIS (CZE), also known as
free-solution CE (FSCE), is the simplest form of CE.
The separation mechanism is based on differences in
the charge-to-mass ratio of the analytes. Fundamental
to CZE are homogeneity of the buffer solution and
constant field strength throughout the length of the
capillary. The separation relies principally on the pHcontrolled dissociation of acidic groups on the solute
or the protonation of basic functions on the solute.
CAPILLARY GEL ELECTROPHORESIS (CGE) is the adaptation
of traditional gel electrophoresis into the capillary
using polymers in solution as a molecular sieve.
This allows solutes having similar charge-to-mass
ratios to be resolved by size.
CAPILLARY ISOELECTRIC FOCUSING (CIEF) allows amphoteric
molecules, such as proteins, to be separated by
electrophoresis in a pH gradient generated between
the cathode and anode. A solute will migrate to a
point where its net charge is zero. At this isoelectric
point (the solute’s pI), migration stops and the sample
is focused into a tight zone. In cIEF, once a solute
has focused at its pI, the zone is mobilized past the
detector by either pressure or chemical means.
ISOTACHOPHORESIS (ITP) is a focusing technique based on the migration of the sample components between leading and terminating electrolytes. Solutes having mobilities intermediate to those of the leading and terminating electrolytes stack into sharp, focused zones.
Although it is used as a mode of separation, transient ITP has been
used primarily as a concentration technique.
ELECTROKINETIC CHROMATOGRAPHY (EKC) is a family of electrophoresis
techniques named after electrokinetic phenomena, which include
electroosmosis, electrophoresis and chromatography. A key example of this is seen with cyclodextrin-mediated EKC. Here the differential interaction of enantiomers with the cyclodextrins in combination with an electrophoretic field allows for the separation of chiral
compounds.
MICELLAR ELECTROKINETIC CAPILLARY CHROMATOGRAPHY (MECC OR MEKC)
is a mode of electrokinetic chromatography in which surfactants are
added to the buffer solution at concentrations which form micelles.
The separation principle of MEKC is based on a differential partition
between the micelle and the solvent. This principle can be employed
with charged or neutral solutes and may involve stationary or mobile
micelles. MEKC has great utility in separating mixtures which
contain both ionic and neutral solutes.
CAPILLARY ELECTROCHROMATOGRAPHY (CEC) is a hybrid separation
method that couples the high separation efficiency of CZE with
HPLC, and uses an electric field rather than hydraulic pressure to
propel the mobile phase through a packed bed. Since there is minimal backpressure, it is possible to use small-diameter packings and
achieve very high efficiencies.
NON-AQUEOUS CAPILLARY ELECTROPHORESIS (NACE) involves the separation of analytes in a medium composed of organic solvents. The
viscosity and dielectric constants of organic solvents affect both
sample ion mobility and the level of electroosmotic flow. The use
of non-aqueous medium allows additional selectivity options in
methods development and is also valuable for the separation of waterinsoluble compounds.

Summary
Block diagram
of basic CE system.
The magnified view depicts
the capillary interior with molecules
of different size and charge separating. As
illustrated, in free-solution capillary electrophoresis, the
positive molecules migrate toward the negative electrode
while the electroosmotic flow carries the neutral and
negatively charged molecules in the same direction.
Beckman Coulter
Contents
The large selection of separation mechanisms combined with its
“in solution” approach has allowed capillary electrophoresis to
excel where many analytical techniques have failed. CE has been
successful primarily with complex hydrophilic macromolecules and
highly charged solutes. These techniques have led to the rapid
separation and quantitation of:
• Nucleic Acids
• Proteins
• Glycoproteins
• Peptides
• Carbohydrates
• Basic Pharmaceuticals
• Chiral Isomers
• Inorganic and Organic Ions

THE BECKMAN COULTER FAMILY OF CE SYSTEMS
Beckman Coulter’s history, knowledge and leadership
in Capillary Electrophoresis has lead to the creation
of the P/ACE and CEQ product lines. From its first
commercial instrument shipment in 1989, Beckman
Coulter’s leadership has established the largest
productive base of CE instruments and users in the
world. CE product development has been guided by
suggestions from this large customer base as well as
collaborative work with experts in the field. The
present CE family is the result of these efforts.
SUMMARY
The P/ACE Series are automated, programmable
capillary electrophoresis systems designed to perform
fast separations from complex samples. Separations
occur in a capillary which is housed in an interchangeable cartridge
with circulating liquid coolant for efficient temperature control.
This finely regulated temperature control allows the use of highionic-strength buffers and large-bore capillaries necessary for
analyzing difficult samples. With CE, methods are fast to develop,
easy to validate, and cost effective to run. However, specialized
system designs are required to optimize performance for different
applications. To address these needs, Beckman offers a family of
CE instruments developed to apply CE technology to a variety of
challenging applications.
Each system includes components necessary to begin
immediate operation, such as vials, capillaries, and test mix.
All systems include installation and basic training by qualified
Field Service Engineers.

32 Karat™ software is a new platform for P/ACE™ MDQ system control, data collection, and analysis. This new platform was
developed entirely in 32-bit code to fully utilize the functionality of the Windows* NT and Windows 2000 operating systems.
32 Karat software preserves data integrity with features such as user-specific log-in, independent audit trails, and results sign-off—
ideal for research, biotechnology, or pharmaceutical laboratories. 32 Karat software adds analysis dimensions that significantly
increase the accuracy of compound identification. New Peak identification algorithms allow the P/ACE MDQ to combine an
analyte’s mobility with spectral information for accurate identification against a large database of compounds. Data may also be
plotted as a function of either migration time or mobility.
Each 32 Karat workstation is capable of running up to four P/ACE MDQ systems with multiple channels. 32 Karat software
has been developed using documented processes and is fully validated at Beckman Coulter. The 32 Karat Workstation includes a
computer platform that has been validated by Beckman Coulter for the operation of 32 Karat software.

CAPILLARIES
All methods development in CE begins with the choice of the correct
capillary surface. The goal is to choose a surface which will not interact
with the sample and, depending upon the application, one which will
either reduce or induce electroosmotic flow. Beckman Coulter offers a
choice of several types of capillaries, which range in surface chemistry
allowing a variety of samples to be analyzed including pharmaceuticals,
industrial chemicals, chiral drugs, nucleic acids, amino acids, proteins
and peptides. These capillaries are available in defined lengths, which
may be trimmed to optimize instrument type, speed and resolution.
NEUTRAL SURFACES
Neutral surfaces are designed to coat the exposed silanol groups on the fused silica and serve two major functions: 1) to reduce
electroosmotic flow, and 2) to prevent wall interaction with the sample. However, not all neutral surfaces are the same and it is
important to understand what the surface is composed of to ensure that other interactions (i.e., hydrophobic) do not replace the
ionic interactions you are trying to reduce. For example, when using a neutral capillary with a surface consisting of a hydrophobic
bonded phase, it is essential to include hydrophilic polymers in the buffer to prevent hydrophobic interactions. The following is
a list of neutral surfaces that are available from Beckman Coulter. All of these surfaces are bi-layers, consisting first of a bonded
phase to shield the silanol groups followed by a hydrophilic polymer to prevent hydrophobic interaction.
PART NUMBER
DESCRIPTION
eCAP™ Neutral Capillary, 50 µm I.D.,
45 cm total length, 12 cm from window to outlet
(quantity 1)
The neutral capillary utilizes a secondary layer of polyacrylamide
to generate a hydrophilic surface. This is a general purpose capillary,
which Beckman Coulter recommends as a starting point for handling
complex samples like proteins or basic molecules. Polyacrylamide
surfaces are recommended for use with both UV and LIF detection
systems but may show some reduction in capillary life with diodearray detection systems.
477441
eCAP N-CHO Capillary, 50 µm I.D.,
65 cm total length, 12 cm from window to outlet
(quantity 1)
The N-CHO capillary utilizes a secondary layer composed of polyvinyl
alcohol (PVA). This surface is ideal for the separation of complex samples like proteins or basic pharmaceuticals in cases where minimal EOF
is desired. PVA is a very rugged surface, which is stable with UV, LIF
and diode array detection systems. However, due to the chemical nature
of PVA, it is not recommended for use with borate buffer systems, as
the borate ion will complex with the surface. This capillary has been
featured in the Carbohydrate Labeling and Analysis Kit (P/N 477600).

AMINE SURFACES
Although basic compounds can be analyzed effectively at low pH, there are circumstances where one may wish to operate at a
higher pH to better differentiate sample mobility, effect solubility or induce electroosmotic flow. The amine capillary was generated
for this purpose. The Beckman Coulter amine capillary utilizes a dynamic coating that, by washing with the amine regenerator
between runs, assures a uniform capillary coating from run to run. This capillary has been used effectively for basic proteins, basic
drugs and even for the separation of glycoforms. The surface is a cross-linked polymer with a quaternary ammonium ion providing
a uniform positively charged surface and a consistent electroosmotic flow.

Since the chemical properties of enantiomers are identical, typical measurements and separation techniques cannot be used
to distinguish one from the other. The key to separating enantiomers is to first create diastereomers from the enantiomers.
Diastereomers may be created through chemical derivatization with a “chiral” reagent, or they may be formed transiently through
interactions with chiral selectors. The latter is usually the most desirable as it is the easiest to employ.
Capillary electrophoresis has proven the most ideal analytical tool for this purpose, as it is simple to construct and modify a chiral
environment within a capillary. The use of cyclodextrins for differential host-guest complexation of enantiomers is by far the most
common chiral selector and is the basis of the chiral separation strategy that we propose. Beckman Coulter’s primary strategy
focuses on the use of highly sulfated cyclodextrins (HSCDs) which are a family of three chiral reagents. This strategy first involves
screening the compound for separation using all three (α, β, and γ) HSCDs and then optimizing on the reagent which yields the
best resolution. This initial screen involves the use of a single method and has been successful in greater than 90% of the
compounds that Beckman Coulter has analyzed.

Highly Sulfated Cyclodextrins
The HSCDs are a proprietary distribution of cyclodextrins with an average number of 12 sulfates for the β-CD, 11 for the α-CD and 13 for the
γ-CD. These distributions were preferentially selected over single isomers
to provide increased resolution under defined separation conditions.
These products perform well for the analysis of many neutral, basic and
weakly acidic compounds of pharmaceutical and biological interest.
To ensure batch-to-batch consistency, Beckman Coulter has developed a

eCAP™ SDS 14-200 Kit
One of the most common methods used to assess the molecular
weights of proteins has been SDS-PAGE. Beckman Coulter has
automated SDS molecular weight and purity determinations with the
development of the eCAP SDS 14-200 Kit. With CE, proteins are
detected directly using UV detection at 214 nm, resulting in accurate
quantitation without the need for staining. Results are obtained in only
15 minutes, with no gel preparation. Samples are treated in the same
manner as SDS-PAGE: heat denaturation in the presence of SDS and
optional disulfide bond reduction with β-mercaptoethanol. The
separation is by capillary gel electrophoresis using a formulation of
polyethylene oxides optimized for the resolution of proteins from
14,000 to 200,000 daltons. A polyacrylamide coated neutral capillary
is used to eliminate EOF and minimize sample interaction with the wall.
This results in very reproducible separations with run-to-run, day-to-day
migration time RSDs less than 1%. The capillary coating is robust,
allowing acid washes between each run. The gel (buffer) is replaceable,
allowing a “fresh start” with each sample. With glycoproteins,
discrepancies in molecular weight can be minimized with the use of the
Ferguson method. The gel buffer can be easily diluted and placed in the
autosampler at several different concentrations, allowing the Ferguson
analysis to be automated.
Each kit contains a neutral capillary, buffers, test mix and
markers to perform at least 200 runs.

eCAP™ Neutral Capillary Methods Development
Kit for Proteins
The heterogeneous nature of proteins makes it almost impossible to
design a single method that will work for all. With capillary zone
electrophoresis, analytes are resolved due to differences in expressed
charge relative to mass. A protein’s pI, its solubility state, presence of
prosthetic groups or extent of glycosylation will all impact the choice
of the appropriate buffer for the CZE analysis. Moreover, at neutral to
basic pH, the surface of the capillary is highly charged and can act as
an adsorptive surface for many proteins. The eCAP Neutral Capillary
Methods Development Kit utilizes a capillary with a neutral
polyacrylamide-bonded surface, rendering it nonreactive to most
proteins. The kit also contains a series of buffers, test compounds, and
markers to assist you in developing a method for the analysis of your
protein.

Carbohydrate analysis is essential to fully characterize a glycoprotein-based biopharmaceutical and is considered to be a challenging
and formidable task. At first glance, CE does not appear to be ideal in that most carbohydrates lack readily ionizable functional
groups and the ability to either absorb or fluoresce. This situation is easily remedied with a simple reductive amination reaction
using 1-aminopyrene-3,6,8-trisulfonate (APTS). This reaction provides specificity, ample charge for mobility and strong fluorescence for detection with laser-induced fluorescence (LIF). APTS has been used successfully for the derivatization of both oligosaccharides and monosaccharides and coupled with CE-LIF provides more quantitative information with increased resolving power.

PROGRAM
With a quality management system registered to the ISO 9001 standard,
Beckman Coulter utilizes a qualified development process. The P/ACE™
series CE systems have been developed under this process to comply
with all CE, UL, and CUL mark requirements. The Software Validation
Pack provides basic information regarding development and performance testing for the system software and can be utilized to support
customer validation programs. A trained field service engineer performs
instrument installation following a prescribed installation operation
qualification protocol. In addition to installation, installation qualification includes conformity and delivery, basic training, and instrument
performance testing. Optional operation qualification programs provide
convenient processes that ensure that the instrument is performing to
published specifications using calibrated testing equipment traceable
to national standards.
