With support from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Acquisition Program, the Department of Chemistry at Claflin University will acquire a capillary electrophoresis system. The instrument will be used in a chiral separation research program initiated in the chemistry department. The research will investigate the separation of racemic mixtures of optically active compounds such as polychlorinated biphenyls, cyclodextrins and amino acid based chiral surfactants. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a technique for separating chemical mixtures rapidly and efficiently. Small amounts of the mixture are passed through a narrow tube driven by an electric field. Materials can be obtained in high purity by this method that is automated and uses small volumes of solvents. The CE system will be used in research, research training and laboratory course work for undergraduates in chemistry, biology, biochemistry, environmental science and physical science classes.

在主要研究仪器（MRI）获取计划的支持下，克拉夫林大学化学系将获得一套毛细管电泳系统。该仪器将用于化学系发起的手性分离研究项目。该研究将研究光学活性化合物的外消旋混合物的分离，如多氯联苯、环糊精和基于氨基酸的手性表面活性剂。毛细管电泳（CE）是一种快速有效地分离化学混合物的技术。少量的混合物在电场的驱动下通过一个狭窄的管子。通过这种自动化的、使用少量溶剂的方法，可以获得高纯度的材料。CE系统将用于化学、生物学、生物化学、环境科学和物理科学课程的本科生的研究、研究训练和实验课程。
