CETAC Technologies in collaboration with Dr. Andreas Prange and Dr. Dirk Schaumloffel from the GKSS Research Center (Germany) has developed a simple, efficient and robust Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) interface for ICP-MS. The CEI-100 interface maintains the high resolving power of CE while utilizing the high sensitivity and multi-element capability of ICP-MS. Through the calculation of optimal fluid mechanical flow properties, the CEI-100 provides the following benefits:

• Stable, high resolution
  electrophoretic separation
• Independent optimization of
  electrophoretic and nebulizer flows
• Low dead volume to preserve
  the high resolution of CE
• Minimal dilution (make-up liquid flow
  rate of <10 µl/min)
• Extremely low sample consumption
  (<1 µl/min)
• Elimination of detrimental secondary
  laminar flows within the CE capillary
