Capillary electrophoresis is a widely used separation method of analytical chemistry. Addition of a selector into the background electrolyte extends its applicability to separation of enantiomers or of compounds of similar physicochemical properties. In analytical practice, mixtures of selectors are also commonly used - either prepared intentionally to achieve better separation or because commercially available selectors may be mixtures of compounds differing in the degree of substitution and substituent positions. Mathematical description of these systems, which are highly relevant in analytical practice, can simplify search for optimal separation conditions. Also, it provides a useful insight into the separation mechanism. In this work, a model of electromigration of an analyte interacting with a mixture of two selectors is proposed and experimentally verified. This model results from a more general description of systems with an arbitrary number of selectors. The model shows that a selector mixture can be treated as a single selector if the ratio of the respective selector concentrations is kept constant. When the mixture is prepared intentionally, this description predicts, how separation potential of the mixture changes with its composition. Thus it allows the optimal composition and total...
