Abstract
The advantages of the capillary electrophoresis method, known to be highly selective, have been tested on some standard latex colloids and nanoparticles of thorium phosphate, investigated separately or in mixtures. The results have been compared to those obtained by laser Doppler velocimetry. Both methods appear as complementary: capillary electrophoresis is more efficient to point out very fine particles among others, but is more restricting about the supporting medium.
