Micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography in a mixture of taurodeoxycholic acid and β-cyclodextrin

Abstract
A mixture of taurodeoxycholic acid and β-cyclodextrin is found to form a ‘pseudo-stationary’ phase, which is very effective for the separation of the enantiomers of a variety of chiral compounds using micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC); resolution is considerably superior to that obtained by using either taurodeoxycholic acid or β-cyclodextrin alone.
