An analytical methodology for quality control analyses of IgG and their impurities is presented using a new UV‐LIF (266 nm) detector inside the cassette of a CE instrument and its performance was evaluated. The observed sensitivity was very close to that obtained by silver staining of slab gels (LOD of 25 ng/mL), while the sensitivity of the analysis is 80 times better than with CE/UV absorption (214 nm). Examples of the analysis of pharmaceutical and other commercial IgGs are provided and the kinetics of the reduction of IgG by β‐mercaptoethanol is reported, demonstrating the ease of performing the analysis.
