Abstract
Many pharmaceutical active compounds are prepared as hydrochlorides for quick release in the gastrointestinal tract upon oral administration. Their inadvertent escape into the water environment requires efficient analytical separation for accurate quantitation to monitor their environmental fate. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate how best to optimize a capillary electrophoresis method for the separation of four model pharmaceutical hydrochlorides. Concentration of sodium dibasic phosphate in the background electrolyte solution, pH adjustment with HCl or NaOH, and applied voltage across the capillary were the three key factors chosen for optimization. The peak resolutions and total migration time were examined as the response indicators to complete a central composite design in response surface methodology. The examination revealed that CE separation was driven significantly by a linear regression model and minimally by a quadratic regression model, based on the coefficient of determination, the lack of fit, the total sum of squares, and the p values. Under optimal conditions of the background electrolyte concentration of 75 mM, pH 9, and the applied voltage of 10 kV, the model hydrochlorides were separated within five minutes in the migration order of metformin (first) > phenformin > mexiletine > ranitidine (last). The limits of UV detection/quantification attained under optimal CE conditions were 0.015/0.045, 0.020/0.060, 0.142/0.426, and 0.017/0.051, respectively.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
