The separating power of micellarelectrokinetic chromatography (MEC) for neutral solutes Is critically examined. A theory for the optimization of resolution (fl,) and resolution per unit time (ff «/fR) Is presented and evaluated. Equations are derived that predict the optimum retention factor (k') and the corresponding surfactant concentration to use Another equation Is derived that relates the analysis time to five pa-rameters: R „a (selectivity), ktjt^., and H/vK (plate helght/electroosmotlc velocity). The capacity factor for the best resolution Is given by*'=(fme/f0) 1/2, where f0 and t^. are the retention times of the aqueous and micellar phases, respectively. The capacity factor for the best resolution per unit time ranges from 1.2 to 2. The separations obtained by using the optimum capacity factor for resolution perunit time Instead of resolution may be slightly poorer In terms of reso-lution but are much faster. Provided the optimum conditions are employed, the quality of MEC separations Is Independent of the solute hydrophobic tty. The advantages of a surfactant gradient for the separation of solutes with a wide range of hydrophoblcttles are discussed. A brief comparison of MEC, micellar liquid chromatography, and conventional high-performance liquid chromatography Is also made.
