The analysis of potassium in the vitreous humour has long been regarded as an important tool in medicolegal and forensic toxicological investigation, particularly for the determination of the post-mortem interval. The present work was aimed at the optimisation and validation of a reliable, simple and fast capillary electrophoresis method for potassium analysis in the human vitreous humour with indirect UV detection at a wavelength of 214 nm, Electrophoretic separations were carried out in a running buffer comprising 5 mM imidazole, 5 mM 18-crown-6 ether and 6 mM D,L alpha-hydroxybutyric acid (HIBA), adjusted to pH 4.5. Constant voltage runs were carried out by applying a voltage of 500 V/cm at 25 degrees C. The samples were injected in the hydrodynamic mode at the anodic end of the capillary (0.5 p.s.i. for 10 s; 1 p.s.i.=6894.76 Pa). The method showed good linearity in the concentration range from 6.5 mM to 16.25 mu M, with an r(2) value of 0.9994. The limit of detection, based on a signal-to-noise ratio of three, was 9.0 mu M. Absolute intra-day RSDs of migration times were
