Sumario:This paper presents the development of a capillary electrophoresis method with diode array detector coupled to multivariate curve resolution–alternating least squares (MCRALS) to conduct the resolution and quantitation of a mixture of six quinolones in the presence of several unexpected components. Overlapping of time profiles between analytes and water matrix interferences were mathematically solved by data modeling with the well-known MCR-ALS algorithm. With the aim of overcoming the drawback originated by two compounds with similar spectra, a special strategy was implemented to model the complete electropherogram instead of dividing the data in the region as usually performed in previous works. The method was first applied to quantitate analytes in standard mixtures which were randomly prepared in ultrapure water. Then, tap water samples spiked with several interferences were analyzed. Recoveries between 76.7 and 125 % and limits of detection between 5 and 18 μg L−1 were achieved.
