A novel method that combines two on-line concentration techniques in capillary electrophoresis (CE), namely, sample stacking with electrokinetic injection (field-enhanced sample injection, FESI) and sweeping, afforded the detection of positively chargeable analytes in parts per trillion (ppt) levels. The main idea is to selectively introduce by FESI as many molecules of cationic analytes as possible from a very dilute sample solution and focus the resulting zone by sweeping. Limit of detection values (signal-to-noise ratio 3) of 4.1 and 8.0 ppt-the lowest concentration reported by direct UV detection in CE-with average plate numbers of 3.6 x 10(5) and 4.4 x 10(5) are obtained for laudanosine and naphthylamine (standard solutions), respectively. This translates to improvements in peak heights compared with usual injection approaching a million-fold. Optimization schemes and application to quantitative and qualitative analyses are also investigated.
