Which limitation occurs in capillary electrophoresis when the Reynolds number exceeds one?

A)Increased analyte band broadening
B)Decreased electroosmotic flow
C)Enhanced analyte ionization
D)Reduced Joule heating effects

💡 Explanation

Analyte band broadening occurs at a Reynolds number above one because inertial forces become significant, inducing turbulent flow through increased fluid instability, therefore broadening the analyte band, rather than the other options induced by electric field variations or Joule heating at elevated temperatures.
