What Does OTCEC Stand For?

OTCEC stands for Open Tubular Capillary Electrochromatography

OTCEC, or Open Tubular Capillary Electrochromatography, is an advanced analytical technique that combines capillary electrophoresis and chromatographic principles for the efficient separation of complex mixtures. Utilizing a narrow open tubular column, OTCEC leverages electroosmotic flow and mass transport mechanisms to achieve high-resolution separations with minimal sample volumes. This method is particularly valuable in the fields of biochemistry and analytical chemistry for the analysis of biomolecules, small organic compounds, and therapeutic drugs.
