  Chiral separations of 1-aminoindan (AI) by cyclodextrin electrokinetic chromatography (CDEKC) were investigated on microfluidic quartz chips.  By using a microchip electrophoresis (MCE) instrument equipped with a linear-imaging UV detector, the separation process of the enantiomeric compounds was observed.  When sulfated β-cyclodextrin was employed as a chiral selector, the baseline separation of AI could be achieved within 1 min with a high repeatability.  The relative standard deviation of the migration time was less than 6%.  The fastest separation was achieved in 14 s, utilizing a separation length of only 6.1 mm.  These results show that the MCE analysis employing a linear imaging UV detector has a significant potential for fast chiral analysis.
