External markers and method for the identification of protein-and-peptide-containing samples utilizing capillary electrophoresis analysis. As disclosed, at least two external markers are added to the sample: one of the markers is a neutral charge species and one of the markers is an ionic species. Dimethylformamide is a preferred neutral charge species and benzoic acid is a preferred ionic species. Identification of constituent species is determined by comparing the migration ratios of the constituent species with migration ratios for each constituent species member. <IMAGE> |
