Summary
The separation of seven analogous anabolic steroids was studied by micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC). The retention order was found to be dependent on polarity. All of these steroids were well separated by the addition of organic modifiers to the separation buffer. Of the organic modifiers tested, 1-propanol gave the best separation, better than methanol or acetonitrile.
