Surfactants are frequently used in the preparation of background electrolytes (BGEs) in capillary zone elcetrophoresis (CZE) in order to affect and to optimize both the electroosmotic flow (EOF) and the separation process. Their effects are, however, always multiple, the resulting situation may be very complex and the separation process may even be destroyed. We use the surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a model example and bring experimental results and related discussion which elucidate the multiple effect of surfactants in an integrated way.
