What the study found

Dual systems of cyclodextrins in electrokinetic chromatography have been used as an option to improve chiral, or stereoselective, separation when a single cyclodextrin system is not enough. The article reviews models for these separations and applications reported from 2017 to 2025.

Why the authors say this matters

The authors state that cyclodextrins are widely used chiral selectors in electrokinetic chromatography because of their discrimination power and availability. The study suggests that dual-cyclodextrin systems and modelling-based optimization can help address the added complexity of finding suitable separation conditions.

What the researchers tested

The article reviews theoretical models describing electrokinetic chromatography with dual cyclodextrin systems and summarizes reported applications over the period 2017 to 2025. It covers stereoselective separations of individual analytes and multicomponent mixtures.

What worked and what didn't

According to the abstract, single cyclodextrin systems can sometimes provide chiral discrimination, but not always the desired separation. Dual systems are presented as an alternative that can increase selectivity and help achieve the needed stereoselective separation, while also making method optimization more complex.

What to keep in mind

The abstract does not describe the detailed performance of individual models or specific comparative outcomes for all applications. It also does not list limitations beyond noting that dual systems add complexity to optimization.
