Abstract:

A non-aqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE) method for the rapid determination of micro gibberellins (GAs) was established. Dynamically poly(ethylene oxide) coated capillary was used, and electroosmotic flow (EOF) was reversed by using positive ions and adjusted by regulation the types and concentrations of the positive ions, running buffer, and pH of the buffer. With a buffer of 95% (v/v) methanol containing 10 mmol/L ammonium acetate at an acidity of 0.08% (v/v) acetic acid, the EOF was successfully reversed to separate the eight GAs in less than 10 min. Its applicability was validated by the determination of GAs in germinating wheat seeds, with relative standard deviations (RSDs)≤2.1% (intra-day) or ≤4.3% (inter-day) for migration times, and RSDs≤4.5% (intra-day) or≤6.9% (inter-day) for peak areas. The limits of detection (S/N=3) were in the range of 1.10-2.20 mg/L, with correlation coefficients (r2) of 0.9982-0.9993. The recoveries of the spiked samples were between 87.2% and 93.5%. The established method is simple, rapid, stable, and compatible with mass spectrometry, so it is valuable to be further studied.
