Abstract In this paper, a micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) method combined with cation-selective exhaustive injection (CSEI) and sweeping was developed to separate and concentrate four tobacco-specific N-nitrosamines (TSNAs) including N'-nitrosoanabasine (NAB), 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (NNAL) and 4-(methylnitrosamino)-4-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (iso-NNAL). Experimental parameters affecting separation efficiency and enhancement factors were investigated in detail. Under the optimum MEKC condition, NAB, NNK, NNAL and iso-NNAL were baseline separated with high separation efficiencies and good peak shapes. Furthermore, with the preconcentration by CSEI-sweeping-MEKC, the sensitivity enhancement factors for NAB, NNK, NNAL and iso-NNAL in terms of peak areas ranged from 6.0×10(3) to 1.5×10(4), and the detection limits (LOD, S/N=3) of four TSNAs were in the range of 0.004-0.016μg/mL. In addition, this method had fairly good repeatability, and the RSDs of retention time and peak area were less than 1% and 5%, respectively. Finally, this method showed promising capabilities in the application of detecting and analyzing TSNAs in human urine samples.
