Micellar systems composed of surfactants are used extensively in academia and industry for many different applications. In this work a highly versatile CE method for determination of CMCs of charged surfactants has been developed. In the case of positively charged surfactants a coating procedure of the fused-silica capillary was used, whereas negatively charged surfactants were analyzed using uncoated capillaries. The CE method is based on frontal analysis (FA) employing use of contactless conductivity and UV detection. The main advantages of the method are that it can be used for non-UV absorbing surfactants without introducing marker compounds which previously has been found to affect CMCs, requires very limited sample volume and is easily implemented and automated using standard CE equipment. The fact that counterions and different aggregated states are separated allows a detailed characterization of the micelle systems using the developed method. In the case of UV absorbing surfactants similar results were obtained employing contactless conductivity and UV detection. Finally, CMCs obtained using conductometry gave similar results as compared to the developed CE-FA procedure.
