    Abstract:
    Separation and determination of erythromycin, spiramycin and oleandomycin by capillary zone electrophoresis coupled with fast reductive voltammetric detection using an Hg-film electrode was investigated in a simple aqueous phosphate buffer system. The influence of pH, concentration of phosphate, applied voltage, capillary length and dimension on the separation was examined and optimized. The entire separation of erythromycin, spiramycin, and oleandomycin was achieved in a 0.2 mol/L phosphate buffer system without organic modifiers. The electrochemical detection parameters, such as electrode material, applied waveform, scan rate, preconcentration potentials and preconcentration times, were investigated and discussed. This approach provides high separation efficiency and high sensitivity for all compounds, with detection limits (3 x peak-to-peak baseline noise) of 7.5 x 10(-8) mol/L for spiramycin, and 3 x 10(-7) mol/ L for erythromycin and oleandomycin. The calibration plot of peak areas for each separated peak vs. concentration of analyte was found to be linear over three orders of magnitude.
