Rezumat:

A conductivity detector providing high voltage isolation for
electroseparations is described. It is based on an oscillator which is
capacitively coupled to the measurement electrodes; the conductance
between the electrodes determines the output frequency. The detector was
evaluated using a small-volume (500 nl) conductivity cell (cell constant
5.1´10-3 m-1) cell which is described; it was then characterized using a
factorial method and optimized to maximize the sensitivity (absolute
change in frequency) to changes in conductivity.
A novel method was used to determine the cell constant for a pair of
microband electrodes (100 µm across on 200 µm centres) with electrolyte
confined in a fine channel above them — this was 2615 ± 86 m-1 and the
detector has been used with this cell for isotachophoretic separations
reported elsewhere.
