Chiral capillary electrophoresis of agrochemicals in real samples

Abstract

Many agrochemicals have one or more chiral centers and are used as racemic mixtures. Monitoring the stereoselective degradation and/or transformation of agrochemical enantiomers is an important target in environmental chemistry. For chiral analysis, capillary electrophoresis has advantages over other chromatographic methods, in resolution, cost performance and simplicity. This review summarizes chiral separation techniques of real samples of agrochemicals using capillary electrophoresis.
