& Capillary electrophoresis (CE) has been recognized as a highly attractive separation techniquefor determining agrochemical residues in agricultural produces and environmental matrices due toits extremely high column efficiency, rapid analysis, and less reagent consumption. However,a small sample size and a short optical path length make the low concentration samples detectedwith an ultraviolet (UV) detector difficult or even impossible without sample preconcentration.The on-line concentrating techniques promise to extremely increase sample size without the changesof CE instrument and make the detection of agrochemical residues possible by CE. This reviewdescribes these on-line preconcentration techniques and comments their applications in thedetermination of agrochemical residues.

INTRODUCTION

Agrochemical is a generic term used to describe a large number ofwidely differing biological, inorganic, and organic compounds, includingpositional, geometric, and optical isomers, employed in the control, andprevention of plant diseases and insect pests.[1] Agrochemicals oftencontaminate the environment, causing serious hazards to public health,through incorporation of residues in waters, soils, and crops. Therefore,rapid and reliable detection of agrochemical residues are required.Furthermore, the applied methods should be able to simultaneouslydetermine multiple agrochemicals with good reproducibility, high recovery,and low limit of detection (LOD).[2] Nowadays, the most popular techni-ques for the determination of agrochemicals in real sample remain to begas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography

(HPLC). As GC has high sensitivity and selectivity, it is frequently employedto analyze the agrochemical residues. However, some agrochemicals thathave thermal instability, high polar and low-volatility cannot be determinedor determined directly by GC. They are necessarily prepared as stablederivatives, and then are indirectly determined by GC. Compared with GC,HPLC can be applied to determine virtually any organic solute regardlessof its volatility or thermal stability. The disadvantage of HPLC is insufficientseparation efficiency, large amounts of expensive and toxic organic solventused as the mobile phase. In recent years, CE has become a mature tech-nique to the analysis of great variety of the targets just like HPLC. The pro-spects for CE in agrochemical analysis are promising, because of theadvantages such as high separation efficiency, minimal sample requirements,and few need to be organic solvents, which makes CE an environmentallyfriendly separation technique.[3] However, the use of CE for analyzingagrochemical residues suffers from low concentration sensitivity with UVdetection, due to the small injection volumes and a narrow optical pathlength. This then limits the application of CE for agrochemical residues.

To improve the concentration sensitivity in CE, several high sensitivitydetectors have been used, such as chemiluminescence, laser-induced fluor-escence (LIF), and electrochemical detectors. LIF and chemiluminescencedetectors can increase sensitivity more than 1000-fold than that of theconventional absorbance detector, while electrochemical detectors do notprovide high sensitivity but their detection volume could be as low as tensof fL.[4] However, the price of most high sensitivity detectors is expensivefor a common laboratory; what is more, LIF detection is not widelyapplicable to environmental samples because only a few compounds havenative fluorescence and most analytes need to be derivatized with a suitablefluorescent tag. Another solution to the problem is to apply off-line or on-linesample concentrating methods. The concentrating efficiency of off-linetechnique is rather limited up to 100-folds in these sample pretreatmentsbecause of difficult handlings of large sample volumes.[4] While on-linesample preconcentration have been employed by the injection of a largevolume of sample in the capillary without modification of the instrument.Therefore, on-line sample preconcentration is a useful technique foragrochemical residue analysis in CE. Numerous preconcentration techniquesbased on electrophoretic principles, chromatographic principles, or theircombinations have been proposed recently. Both charged and neutralanalytes can be concentrated.[5–7]

On-line sample preconcentration in the field of agrochemical residueanalysis by CE is a topic that attracted much attention last 10 yearsand several research articles were published even after the year 2000.[8,9]

Thus far, however, most of review articles are published to describe on-linesample preconcentration techniques with an emphasis on the mechanism

and advantages and disadvantages of each technique, only a few of themrefer to the application of these techniques in agrochemical residues. Somereview articles described the CE techniques for the determination ofagrochemical residues, but they mainly involved the off-line sample precon-centration techniques, the on-line techniques only were briefly introduced.As far as we know, until now, no review article has only focused on the use ofon-line sample preconcentration techniques in agrochemical residueanalysis. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to offer a description ofthe present status of agrochemical residue analysis by means of the on-linesample concentrating techniques. The fundamentals and applications ofon-line sample concentrating in CE are both considered.

ON-LINE SAMPLE STACKING TECHNIQUES

The principle of sample stacking method is mainly based on differencebetween the conductivity of the sample solution and that of backgroundsolution (BGS). It was first conceived for ionic solutes, and later extendedto the separation of neutral analytes in CE as described by Z. Liu et al. in1994.[10]

According to the principle of stacking techniques, many stackingmodes have been developed for concentrating analytes from differentsamples, such as normal stacking mode (NSM),[11] large-volume samplestacking (LVSS),[12] reversed electrode polarity stacking mode (REPSM),[13]

stacking with reverse migrating micelles (SRMM),[14] stacking usingreverse migrating micelles and water plug (SRW),[15] field-enhanced sampleinjection (FESI), field-enhanced sample injection with reverse migratingmicelles (FESI-RMM),[16] and so forth. Some sample stacking modalitieshave also been widely used to improve sensitivity in the analysis of agro-chemical residues.

Stacking in CZE

Normal Stacking ModeNSM is the simplest among sample stacking modes. The sample dissolved

in low electrical conductivity buffer is hydrodynamically introduced as a longplug and then a voltage is applied. The focusing mechanism of NSM isprimarily based on the abrupt change in electrophoretic velocity betweenthe low conductivity matrix and the BGS. A limitation of NSM is that the opti-mum sample plug length without loss of separation efficiency or resolution isshort.[17] This is because of the broadening of the stacked zones caused bythe mixing of low-conductivity and high-conductivity areas in the concentrat-ing boundary, and the laminar flow generated inside the capillary that results

from the difference of local and bulk electro-osmotic mobilities.[2] Obviouslydecreasing in resolution and widening of peak wide occurs with increasing inthe injection of sample solution. Therefore, in this technique, the injectionvolume of sample is limited, the analytes are concentrated about 10-fold andoften does not exceed about 5-fold.[8,18–22]

Large Volume Sample StackingLVSS is a very promising technique to overcome the limitation of

injection volumes. The sample size in LVSS is larger than the optimumfound in NSM. To preserve separation efficiency from decrease, the samplematrix must be pushed out from the capillary. Pumping is performed withexternal pressure or with EOF. The direction of pumping is always oppositeto that of the electrophoretic movement of charged analytes and its velocityis also lower than the electrophoretic velocity of the charged solutes.[23]

A limitation in LVSS is that only positive or negative analytes can beeffectively concentrated at one time. LVSS has demonstrated an enhance-ment of more than 100-fold in concentration sensitivity,[24] improvingLOD from two orders of magnitude. LVSS includes two modes, with orwithout polarity switching.

LVSS with Polarity Switching. In this LVSS mode, polarity switching isused to control the direction of EOF. For the case of anions, the steps donein this mode can be found in Figure 1. A large sample plug with lowconductivity is hydrodynamically injected into a capillary and a negativepotential is applied to the inlet of capillary. The large solvent plugaccompanied with cations and neutral substances is pushed out from thecapillary by the EOF, whereas the negative species are stacked up at theboundary between the sample zone and the BGS. Once the major part ofthe low conductivity zone has been pushed out from the capillary, whichthe observed current reached 90–99% of the actual current (currentobtained when the capillary is filled with BGS only), the polarity at the inletof capillary is switched.[25–27] Undoubtedly, anionic=cationic species can beconcentrated in LVSS with polarity switching mode. However, nonrepro-ducible results can be led to if the current is not monitored properly duringthe backout step. Additionally, it cannot be performed in all commercialCE instruments.

LVSS Without Polarity Switching. Adding the EOF modifier to buffer[28]

or using a low pH buffer,[29,30] LVSS without polarity switching cansuppress the EOF, and get rid of polarity switching step. The detectionsensitivity is enhanced in the range of 100–300-fold. The steps performedin this mode are shown in Figure 2, with anions that are concentrated by

using a low pH buffer. Because the suppressed EOF is lower than theelectrophoretic velocity of the analytes, the sample matrix is pumped outfrom the inlet of the capillary under reverse voltage. After that, the stackedanions migrate toward the detector end of the capillary and are separatedwithout polarity switching. The electrophoretic mobility of the analyte ionsshould be opposite to and greater than that of EOF in this mode.[31] Forcations, in addition to reducing the velocity of EOF, its direction shouldalso be reversed. A reduced and reversed EOF can be achieved by usinga low pH buffer containing a low concentration of cationic surfactant orusing specially coated capillaries.[32]

Field-Enhanced Sample Injection

In FESI, the sample that has lower conductivity than the BGS is electro-kinetically injected. Then, the ions are electrophoretically migrated intoBGS and dramatically slowed down at the boundary between sample andBGS.[33] In this case, only charged analytes or neutral analytes dissolvedin micellar solutions can be electrokinetically injected and concentratedby applying positive or negative voltage depending on the charge of theanalyte. The injected sample size can be much larger in FESI than in LVSSbut the injected analytes are biased by their electrophoretic mobility. Itshould be noted that the injected sample size is not proportional to theinjection time because the overlong injection time can deplete the analytesin the sample solution.[4]

The neutral analytes can be apparently charged when they are incor-porated with the micelles. However, their enrichment multiples dependon their retention factors.[34] The weaker the interaction between analyteand micelle is, the lower the enrichment multiple of the analyte is, becauseweak interaction results in low apparent electrophoretic mobility producedfrom the low apparent charge of analyte.

Stacking in MEKC

Reversed Electrode Polarity Stacking ModeREPSM is an on-line preconcentration strategy that involves polarity

reversal. In this technique, the capillary is filled with a micellar BGS andthe analytes prepared in low-conductivity matrix are injected for a longperiod of time by pressure mode. Then, a negative voltage is applied, theEOF moves toward the inlet of capillary. At this moment, the anionic ana-lytes and neutral analytes, which can be absorbed on the charged micelles,are respectively stacked at both boundaries of sample plug and movetoward the detector. The electrophoretic velocity of micelles at the front

boundary of sample plug is slower than that of EOF but the electrophoreticvelocity of micelles at the back boundary of sample plug is faster than thatof EOF because the field strength is lower in BGS than in sample plug.Finally, the both boundaries meet each other, and the sample matrix ispumped out from the capillary by EOF. The dispersive effect can be mini-mized in REPSM through removing the sample matrix by applying negativevoltage. When the electrophoretic current reaches approximately 95%–99% of its original value, the polarity is switched to positive. However, thismethod involves a delicate operation to monitor the current carefully andleads to poor reproducibility if the current is not monitored well.[35]

Stacking with Reverse Migrating Micelles ModeInstead switching the electrode polarity in REPSM, an acidic micellar

BGS can be used to reduce the EOF.[36] The sample is dissolved in purifiedwater or in low conductivity matrix. The sample solutions are introducedinto capillary from the inlet at cathode and then separation is performedunder the reverse voltage with negative polarity at inlet. It is the methodthat is so-called SRMM. Since the negative polarity is applied at the inlet,the EOF slowly pushes out the sample matrix from the capillary, and separ-ating and stacking are simultaneously carried out. Compared with REPSM,a better reproducibility is achieved in SRMM without a polarity-switchingstep. In SRMM, the more hydrophobic analytes are, the higher theirenrichment factors are and the shorter their migration times are sincethe analytes are moved by electrophoretic force from micellar phase.

Stacking with Reverse Migrating Micelles and a Water Plug ModeSRW has proved to be an effective on-line concentrating technique for

some hydrophobic compounds. A more than 40-fold enhancement indetection sensitivity has been achieved in the determination of phenoxyacid herbicides.[37] In SRW, the sample is prepared in a matrix havinga conductance lower than the separation buffer and including the surfactantat a concentration slightly higher than the critical micelle concentration(CMC). SRW complements SRMM for concentrating hydrophobic analytesbecause the micelles in the sample matrix can increase the solubility ofthe analytes. Unlike NSM, REPSM, and SRMM, a water plug is introducedinto the capillary from the inlet after conditioning the capillary with acidicBGS, followed by the injection of the sample. The low pH BGS is adoptedto reduce the surface charge of the capillary and thus to lower the bulkEOF. Then, Separation is finished under reverse voltage with BGS bothin the inlet and outlet vials. The focusing mechanism of SRW is also basedon the abrupt change in effective analyte electrophoretic velocities at thestacking boundary. Therefore, sample matrix, sample size, and water plug

length are the three main factors affecting the concentrating efficiency ofthe analytes.[38]

Field-Enhanced Sample Injection with ReverseMigrating Micelles

FESI-RMM is a mode that sample is prepared in low conductivity micel-lar matrix and electrokinetically injected into the capillary after injectingshort plug of water. The steps and mechanisms involved in FESI-RMMare shown in Figure 3. The capillary is first filled with the micellar solution,and then a water plug is hydrodynamically injected. After that, the sampleprepared in a micellar matrix is electrokinetically injected from the inlet ofthe capillary under reverse voltage. At the same time, the outlet of thecapillary is still in the micellar BGS vial. In the electrokinetic injection,the electric field enhanced in the water plug can make micelles and neutralanalytes solubilized in them generate electrophoretic velocities greaterthan the bulk electro-osmotic flow, and enter the capillary. While theneutral analytes are being brought to the boundary between the waterand the BGS, the water plug is being pumped out from the capillary bythe EOF. Once 90%–99% of the original current (depending on the kindof analyte and analytical parameters) has been reached, that is, when thewater plug has been considerably removed from the capillary, the sample

vial is replaced by the BGS, and analytes begin being separated undernegative voltage. Under these conditions, 1000–3000 stacking enhance-ment factors in terms of peak area can be observed.[39]

ON-LINE SAMPLE SWEEPING TECHNIQUES

Sweeping is an on-line sample preconcentration technique fornonpolar molecules in MEKC. The sweeping steps in which acidic BGSis used are shown in Figure 4. First, a sample is prepared in a matrix voidof the micelles used. Due to the difference between conductivities ofsample matrix and BGS does not significantly affect the focusing effect ofsweeping; therefore, the sample matrix can be accepted whether itsconductivity is higher, similar, or lower than the BGS. The sample is hydro-dynamically introduced into the capillary after conditioning of the capillarywith low pH micelle BGS. Second, the BGS is placed in the inlet vial,a negative polarity is applied, and then micelles enter the sample solutionzone and sweep the analytes. Finally, once the analytes are totally accumu-lated by micelles at the boundary between the sample and the BGS,the resultant separation occurs by MEKC. Sweeping can also be carriedout with neutral or alkaline micelle BGS. It is different as normal voltage

is applied and the analytes are picked up by micelles at the front boundaryof the sample plug. The examples using this sweeping can be found inthe separation of some agrochemicals.[40–45] The effectiveness of on-linesample sweeping techniques depends on the affinity of analytes to themicelles. Neutral analytes are separated by partitioning alone, whereascharged analytes are separated based on partitioning and electrophoresis.[46]

Both charged and neutral analytes can be preconcentrated, which makes thisenrichment technique versatile.

COMBINATION OF STACKING AND SWEEPING TECHNIQUES

Cation Selective Exhaustive Injection Sweeping

Cation selective exhaustive injection-sweeping (CSEI-sweeping) is a combi-nation of two on-line preconcentration techniques, sample stacking withelectrokinetic injection and sweeping, that can provide more than 35000-foldincreases in detection sensitivity.[47,48] The steps for CSEI-sweeping usinganionic micelles as the pseudostationary phase are illustrated in Figure 5.

FIGURE 5 CSEI-sweeping-MEKC mode to cationic analytes. A) a zone of high-conductivity bufferwithout micelles followed by a short water plug is hydrodynamically introduced; B) the cationic analytesprepared in a low-conductivity solution are electrokinetically injected; C) both the ends of capillaryare placed in the vials with micellar BGS after injection stop; D) the anionic micelles enter thecapillary and sweep the stacked and introduced analytes to the narrow bands as the polarity of voltageis switched; and E) the analytes are separated by MEKC.

The column is conditioned with a nonmicellar BGS at low pH in order tosuppress the EOF. A zone of a high-conductivity buffer devoid of micelles(HCB) followed by a short water plug is hydrodynamically introduced.Then, the cationic analytes prepared in a low-conductivity solution areelectrokinetically injected into the capillary. The water plug during theCSEI step helps to enhance the electric field at the tip of the capillary,which allows the cationic analytes to enter the capillary at high velocityand eventually improves the stacking effect. The HCB increases theinjected sample size and creates a narrower stacked zone after theCSEI step,[49] but does not affect the focusing effect of the sweeping steps.Once the injection is stopped and both ends of the capillary are placedin micellar BGS vials, the voltage is then switched to negative polarity.In this step, the anionic micelles will enter the capillary to sweep theintroduced and stacked analytes as the narrow bands. Finally, the analytesare separated by MEKC.

Anion Selective Exhaustive Injection Sweeping

The principle of anion selective exhaustive injection (ASEI-sweeping)technique[50] is similar to that of CSEI-sweeping-MEKC but a cationicsurfactant is used. The procedure is modified as follows. First, a polyacryla-mide (PAA)-coated capillary is conditioned with a nonmicellar BGS. Then,a zone of a high-conductivity buffer without micelles followed by a shortwater plug is hydrodynamically injected. Afterward, a low-conductivity ofanion sample solution is electrokinetically injected under negative voltage,and the anions move rapidly toward the outlet. At the same time, the waterplug is moving out from the inlet of the capillary. When the current isstable, injection is stopped and both vials at inlet and outlet are transferredto micellar BGS and the voltage is reversed to begin separating. At this time,cationic micelles will enter the capillary and sweep the focused samplezone as a narrow band. The anions swept by the micelles are separatedby MEKC mode. Under optimized conditions, ASEI-sweeping can providean approximately 100000-fold improvement in peak heights for somephenoxy acidic herbicides.[51]

be used as a cleanup method to remove undesirable components fromthe sample. The potential of this procedure for the analysis of agro-chemicals has been demonstrated in several publications. In on-lineSPE–CE coupling, the SPE column is separated from CE, but an inter-face is required to introduce compatible desorption volumes intothe CE. In addition, the other main objective of the interface is to solvethe problem from the volume difference between the SPE-elutionplug and conventional hydrodynamic injection volume in CE.[52] Thetypical interfaces can be classified as vial, valve, or T-piece-type. A sensitivityenhancement factor of 1000-fold has been obtained using a micro-C18

trapping column CE system with a microvalve.[53] As the sample matrixdoes not enter the electrophoretic system in on-line SPE-CE, adsorp-tion effects of sample matrix are minimized. Additionally, electro-phoretic analysis is not affected by the SPE sorbent because of the SPEbeing separated from CE.

However, the construction of SPE-CE coupling is complicated. Theconnection of the SPE column and CE capillary generally produce deadvolume at the interface, which make band broadening sometimes inevi-table. Moreover, the required desorption solvent is usually on the orderof microliters, much larger than the tolerable injection volume in CE and,therefore, only a small part of the eluted sample can be usually introducedinto the separation capillary. This leads to a drop in preconcentrationefficiency.

In-Line SPE–CE Techniques

In-line SPE–CE is a technique that completely integrates the pre-concentration SPE step into the CE system, and as a result the separationvoltage is applied across the SPE sorbent. The main advantage of thistechnique is that it is easily automated with fewer sample-handling steps.In general, in-line SPE-CE can be performed by using different strategies:one is the use of an open tubular (OT) capillary in which the SPE sorbentis coated in the capillary walls;[54–56] another is the use of a packedbed;[57–59] or monolithic material,[60–63] in which an SPE microcartridgeor analyte concentrator (AC) containing the packing material sorbentis kept near the inlet side of the CE capillary; and the last one is theuse of a thin impregnated membrane or SPE material positioned betweentwo capillaries. However, the separating and concentrating efficiencydepends on the volume and the composition of the solvent. Moreover,when complex samples are analyzed, the adsorption of sample matrixcomponents on the capillary walls can cause the problems such asclogging or irreproducible results.

Molecularly Imprinted Polymer-CapillaryElectrochromatagraphy/CE Techniques

The molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based capillary electrochroma-tography (CEC) is regarded as a selective and highly effective separation sys-tem. For some applications, MIP-CEC=CE allows the analytes separated frommatrix components to be directly introduced into the capillary, thus avoidingthe clean-up steps in the analysis of complex samples, which obviously wouldconsiderably diminish the total analysis time.[64] In recent years, the study ofMIP-CEC=CE has prompted increased attention for the improvement of thesynthesis procedures of the imprinted capillary columns. Several formatshave been described, such as packed capillary columns,[65] MIP entrapmentin acrylamide or silica networks,[66] particles grafted MIP on surface,[67]

monoliths,[68,69] capillary coatings,[70] and the capillary column partiallyfilled with MIP nanoparticles[71] have been the most successful.

Synthesis of MIPs is a process in which cross-linked polymers areformed around a template molecule. After the template is removed, a largenumber of cavities will form. These cavities contain functional groupscapable of binding to the template molecules which enable the polymerto rebind the template molecules selectively. The high selectivity andstability of the MIP made it useful as the stationary phase sorbent incapillary electrochromatography.

APPLICATIONS IN THE ANALYSIS OF AGROCHEMICALRESIDUES

Many applications of CE combined with on-line preconcentrationhave been published in recent years. In this review, on-line samplepreconcentration techniques in CE are focused on the determination ofagrochemical residues, such as herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides,in different samples. Table 1 lists the applications in the analysis of theseagrochemical residues by official chromatographic method and the CEwith on-line preconcentration. A number of the methods of determiningmixed agrochemicals, plant hormones, or raw materials of agrochemicalsare also listed in this table.

Applications in the Analysis of Herbicides

Hernandez-Borges et al.[72] developed a CE–mass spectroscopy (MS)assay in which NSM was used to preconcentrate the triazolopyrimidinesulfonanilide herbicides in soy milk. The MS can provide much higherselectivity and better sensitivity than UV. SPE was applied together withon-line preconcentration procedures NSM in order to improve the LODs.

The optimized protocol provided the LODs of these triazolopyrimidineherbicides in soy milk at 74mg=L. Xu et al.[73] determined 16 chlorinatedacid herbicides in environmental water by CZE with contactless conductivitydetection (CCD). The capillary was coated with poly (vinyl alcohol) andon-line FESI was used. The LODs in water samples were 0.056–0.270 ppm,and sensitivity was enhanced up to 632–1078-fold.

Quesada-Molina et al.[74] reported a method analyzing metribuzindegradation products, deaminometribuzin (DA), deaminodiketometri-buzin (DADK), and diketometribuzin (DK), with CE by means of on-lineLVSS with polarity switching. The analytes were dissolved in sodium tetra-borate buffer. The herbicides extracted from spiked water and soil sampleswere concentrated using off-line SPE step that was employed to furtherimprove sensitivities and extend the method to real samples. LVSS withpolarity switching provided preconcentration factors of 4, 36, and 28 forDK, DA, and DADK, respectively. A 500-fold preconcentration was obtainedby the method for the case of water samples and of 2.5-fold in the case ofsoil samples. Recently, a MEKC method analyzing six sulfonylurea herbicideresidues in cereals by mean of on-line LVSS with polarity switching wasdeveloped by Yi et al.,[75] in which a sample plug up to 33.11 cm wasintroduced into a capillary with 50 cm effective length. The enrichmentfactors for these six sulfonylureas were between 570-fold and 835-fold.Their LODs were down to 0.22–0.89 ng=g.

On-line SPE-CE has been applied to determine s-triazines in environ-mental samples.[76] The process of analysis including calibration, precon-centration, elution, and injection into the sample vial was automaticallycarried out by a capillary electrophoresis system coupling a continuousflow system via a programmable arm. The whole system was completelycontrolled by a computer. The separation of s-triazine herbicides wasachieved within 13 min, and the detectable concentration was down to50 mg=L, whereas the enrichment factor was 12-fold. The partial fillingtechnique has also been used for the determination of herbicide residuesby CE.[77,78] One of these examples is the work reported by Menzingeret al.[77] They analyzed s-triazines and phenoxy acids by the partial-fillingtechnique and non-aqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE) with UVdetection. These conditions can be also compatible with ESI-MS detectionproviding LODs of 0.12–0.29 mg=L.

Applications in the Analysis of Fungicides

The fungicides were usually separated by MEKC with REPSM.[13,102–105]

The fungicides from spiked wine samples were extracted by a solid-phasemicroextraction (SPME). Quantitative extraction from wine samples spikedat two concentration levels (range 0.18–6.00 mg=L) was carried out in

triplicate. LODs were between 0.040 and 0.929 mg=L, which are below themaximum residue limits (MRLs) in wine grapes set by the Spanish andEuropean legislation.[102] Poor detection sensitivity was often producedfrom matrix effects (interfering peaks) in the extraction of fungicideresidues. In order to solve the problem, a matrix-matched calibration wasdeveloped with spiked samples. Ravelo-Perez et al.[103] analyzed sevenfungicides by MEKC with REPSM, in which the matrix matched calibrationcurves were developed with spiked tomato samples and the SPME was usedto extract the analytes from samples. A linear range under this conditionwas 0.5 to 2.5 mg=kg. In a follow up research, they developed the CZEmethod proper to MS detection.[95] The phosphate buffer was replacedwith a more volatile ammonium formate buffer. Off-line SPE coupledwith on-line LVSS were employed to further improve LODs allowing theseanalytes to be determined down to the levels of 1=10 MRLs.

Ibrahim et al.[96] developed a method of cyclodextrin (CD)-MEKC withsweeping for the determination of propiconazole, tebuconazole, andfenbuconazole. The strong interaction between analytes and chargedpseudostationary phase enhanced sensitivity 30–100-fold. Wang et al.[45]

recently analyzed three strobilurin fungicide residues in fruits andvegetables by MEKC with sweeping. The enrichment factors of azoxy-strobin, kresoxim-methyl, and pyraclostrobin were 861, 550, and 403,respectively. Their LODs were 0.002, 0.001, and 0.002 mg=kg, respectively.

Cacho et al.[99] separated thiabendazole (TBZ) in citrus samples by themolecularly imprinting capillary electrochromatography. A molecularlyimprinted monolith (MIM) was synthesized and as stationary phase, itsselectivity to TBZ was evaluated by nonaqueous capillary electrochromato-graphy. The high selectivity achieved by the MIP-CEC allowed unambi-guous detection and quantification to TBZ in citrus samples by directinjection of the crude sample extracts, without any previous clean-up, in lessthan 6 min. The limits of quantitation (LOQs) were in the range of0.04–0.05 mg=kg which was below the established MRLs. Takeda et al.[106]

separated five mixed agrochemicals including fungicides, insecticide, andherbicide by large volume injection in conjunction with transient isotacho-phoresis (ITP). LODs to the five agrochemicals were on the ppm level underthe optimized separation and UV detection condition. The enrichment factorsobtained from the comparison of the LODs were 7.6–27-fold.

Applications in the Analysis of Insecticides

Recently, Chen’s research team published their works in succession,in which sweeping was used to preconcentrate three chloronicotionyls,[40]

two carbamates,[41] in vegetables and two amidines in honey.[42] Theenrichment factors were 626, 788, and 443 for acetamiprid, imidaclorid,

and thiamethoxam in vegetables under the injection condition of 10 kV�120 s. In the separation of two amidine acaricides, chlordimeform, andsemiamitraz in honey were concentrated 1100-fold and 1000-fold. A novelnonaqueous MEKC with sweeping was used to separate two carbamates invegetables. The enrichment factors were 678 for carbofuran and 758 forcarbaryl under the optimized conditions. The buffer consisted of 100 mMSDS, 30 mM sodium acetate, and formamide-acetonitrile (85:15, V=V),and its apparent pH was 9.4. The samples were hydrodynamically injectedfor 1 kPa� 150 s.

The three online preconcentration techniques associated with MEKCwere used to analyze nine agrochemicals including the two commonly usedinsecticides, carbaryl and propoxur, from drinking water and vegetablesextracts, and their performances were evaluated.[109] These three techni-ques included sweeping, SRMM, and a modification of the latter, whichinvolved momentarily applying a positive voltage at the inlet vial aftersample injection. Enrichment factors of 3–18-fold and LODs in the rangeof 2–46 mg=L were reported. Rodrıguez-Gonzalo et al.[110] determined pir-imicarb and carbendazim in drinking water by in-line SPE–CE employeda synthesized monolithic bed. This method allowed samples to be loadedat flow rates of about 65 mL=min by applying a pressure of 12 bar. A 5-cmlength of monolithic sorbent was used to preconcentrate the target analytesfrom aqueous samples. After preconcentrating drinking water for 15 min,these pesticides could be detected at the level of 0.1mg=L, as demandedby current EU legislation.

Tegeler et al.[111] applied MEKC with FESI to preconcentrate andseparate carbamate insecticides and compared decanoyl-N-methylglu-camide (MEGA 10) surfactant with the traditionally used SDS surfactant.As a result, MEGA 10-borate micellar system produced twice as manynumber of plates per minute as did the SDS micellar system. The reportedLODs were in the range of 2.5� 10�4–2.9� 10�3 M.

An exciting result was obtained[112] when cypromazine (CYP) andmelamine (MEL) in real milk samples were concentrated and separatedby means of on-line CSEI-sweeping technique, in which the sensitivitieswere enhanced 6222-fold for CYP and 9179-fold for MEL and the achievedLODs were between 43.7 and 23.4 pg=mL. The optimum buffer consistedof 100 mM SDS, 50 mM phosphoric acid (pH¼ 2.0), and 15% acetonitrile(V=V) and the sample was injected at 10 kV for 600 s.

Zhang et al.[113] separated some neonicotinoid insecticides by usingdispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) coupled with sweepingin MEKC. The novelty of this work was the application of DLLME-sweepingto isolate and preconcentrate the insecticide residues in cucumber. Underoptimized conditions, the enrichment factors were achieved in the rangefrom 4000 to 10,000 and the LOQs were in the range of 0.8 to 1.2 ng=g.

CONCLUSIONS

CE has undoubtedly become a compelling alternative to chromato-graphic techniques owing to the on-line preconcentration technology. Itis especially useful for the determination of agrochemical residues thatcannot be separated efficiently by HPLC and require derivatization to beanalyzed by GC. Compared with other off-line preconcentration techniques,these on-line techniques have the obvious advantages such as simplicity,economy, and high separation efficiency in the focusing of both neutraland charged analytes. The signals of analytes can be enhanced up to severalthousand-folds without significant deterioration in separation efficiency.However, the excellent techniques must be successful in the applying toreal samples and getting good reproducibility. It is gratifying that they havebeen successfully employed in determination of agrochemical residuesboth in environmental and food samples. The both reproducibility andrecovery can meet the requirements of the legislation in some developedcountries and regions.

Pursuing lower and lower LOD is an eternal topic to analyticalchemistry, of course, also to the analysis of agrochemical residues. For thispurpose, combining the fortes of two even more on-line preconcentrationmeans together should be a developing tendency. Among these combi-nations, C=ASEI-sweeping provides the best sensitivity enhancementfor charged analytes. Furthermore, a combination of on=in-line SPE withstacking and sweeping method is also expected. Other combinations oftwo on-line preconcentration techniques, such as micelle-mediated neutralanalyte isotachophoretic (MM-ITP) concentration and micelle to solventstacking (MSS) of organic cations, should be possible. In the future,multi-template MIP-CEC=CE is anticipated.
