Note: In CelerityCE capillaries virtually all of the residual silanols on the capillary wall have been eliminated by
replacement with hydride (Si-H) and basic peptides are not adsorbed assuring the intraday and interday repeatability
of migration times. The results are reproducible between different lots of capillaries. The capillary involved in the
study was used for 1128 runs, demonstrating the long-term stability.

Discussion:
A significant factor that often limits the usefulness of CZE is the lack of reproducibility of data from run to run.
CelerityCE capillaries eliminate these problems as shown in the data in Figures A and B. Two electro-chromatograms
show results after many injections: Figure (A) was done after the capillary was used for 109 injections of various
peptide samples.
Figure (B) represents the run after the capillary was used for more then 200 analyses. Reproducibility of the number
of peaks, peak shape, and migration times is excellent from run to run.
The RP-HPLC profile of the analyzed peptide sample obtained using a standard HPLC column and a standard linear gradient
exhibited only a broad peak (Figure C).
