A  has no net charge.

B  has a negative charge.

C  migrates best in electrophoresis.

A  is best for analytes that have a higher electrophoretic mobility.

B  is sometimes considered to be a “biased” type of sample injection.

C  involves sample injection into the capillary by applying a positive pressure to the sample inlet.

D  involves sample injection into the capillary by applying a voltage.

A  Fluorescence intensity measurements are more sensitive because the fluorophores used are very specific to the analytes they bind to and will bind to small analytes easily.

B  Absorbance measurements are more sensitive because the flame can break down complex compounds into elements that are specifically measured.

C  Fluorescence intensity measurements are more sensitive because of the use of intense light sources, signal filtering, and sensitive light emission photometers.
