This document provides an introduction to capillary electrophoresis-photoluminescence (CE-PL) as the final project for an instrumental analysis laboratory course. It describes CE as using an electric field to separate charged particles in a capillary. CE has advantages over liquid chromatography such as high efficiency, short analysis times, and small sample/buffer volumes. The document discusses the CE apparatus, injection methods, detectors including photoluminescence, and compares CE to LC. It then provides experimental details on using CE-PL to analyze amino acid samples from a fermentation broth over 210 hours.
