Mobile phase systems

Having established that a finite volume of sample causes peak dispersion and that it is highly desirable to limit that dispersion to a level that does not impair the performance of the column, the maximum sample volume that can be tolerated can be evaluated by employing the principle of the summation of variances. Let a volume (Vi) be injected onto a column. This sample volume (Vi) will be dispersed on the front of the column in the form of a rectangular distribution. The eluted peak will have an overall variance that consists of that produced by the column and other parts of the mobile phase conduit system plus that due to the dispersion from the finite sample volume. For convenience, the dispersion contributed by parts of the mobile phase system, other than the column (except for that from the finite sample volume), will be considered negligible. In most well-designed chromatographic systems, this will be true, particularly for well-packed GC and LC columns. However, for open tubular columns in GC, and possibly microbore columns in LC, where peak volumes can be extremely small, this may not necessarily be true, and other extra-column dispersion sources may need to be taken into account. It is now possible to apply the principle of the summation of variances to the effect of sample volume. [Pg.194]

Ascending, one-dimensional multiple development method (stepwise technique, drying between each run) in two mobile phase systems in a twin-trough chamber without chamber saturation (equilibration 30 min at 20-22°C) at a relative humidity of 60 — 70%. [Pg.290]

Underivatized PDVB gels arc generally unsuitable, however, for work in aqueous mobile-phase systems because (1) the gels cannot be wetted to pack in water and (2) organic materials will absorb irreversibly to the gels in aqueous systems. Work on this problem is continuing by first trying to modify the... [Pg.367]

In the development of a SE-HPLC method the variables that may be manipulated and optimized are the column (matrix type, particle and pore size, and physical dimension), buffer system (type and ionic strength), pH, and solubility additives (e.g., organic solvents, detergents). Once a column and mobile phase system have been selected the system parameters of protein load (amount of material and volume) and flow rate should also be optimized. A beneficial approach to the development of a SE-HPLC method is to optimize the multiple variables by the use of statistical experimental design. Also, information about the physical and chemical properties such as pH or ionic strength, solubility, and especially conditions that promote aggregation can be applied to the development of a SE-HPLC assay. Typical problems encountered during the development of a SE-HPLC assay are protein insolubility and column stationary phase... [Pg.534]

The macrocyclic glycopeptides CSPs arc capable of operating in three different mobile phase systems reversed phase, normal phase, and the new polar organic mode. The new polar organic mode refers to the approach when methanol is used as the mobile phase with small amounts of acid and/or base as the modifier to control... [Pg.28]

Chromatographic characterisation of hydrolysis products Hydrolysis products from sodium polypectate were analysed by thin-layer chromatography on silica gel G-60, using ethyl acetate / acetic acid / formic acid / water (9 3 1 4, by volume) as the mobile phase system. Sugars were detected with 0,2% orcinol in sulphuric add-methanol (10 90ml) [14]. [Pg.788]

Bota et al. [84] used the PCA method to select the optimum solvent system for TLC separation of seven polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Each solute is treated as a point in a space defined by its retention coordinates along the different solvent composition axes. The PCA method enables the selection of a restricted set of nine available mobile phase systems, and it is a useful graphical tool because scatterplots of loading on planes described by the most important axes will have the effect of separating solvent systems from one other most efficiently. [Pg.94]

The selection of proper mobile phase in TLC exerts a decisive influence on the separation of inorganic ions. With a particular stationary phase, the possibility of separation of a complex mixture is greatly improved by the selection of an appropriate mobile phase system. In general, the mixed aqueous-organic solvent systems containing an acid, a base, or a buffer have been the most favored mobile phases for the separation of ionic species. The mobile phases used as developers in inorganic PLC include ... [Pg.352]

Most small organic molecules are soluble in mixed organic-aqueous solvents and can be easily analyzed using RPLC. However, there are some polar compounds which are not soluble in typical RPLC solvent systems or are unstable in an aqueous mobile phase system. These compounds can be analyzed on an RPLC column with a nonaqueous solvent system. This technique is called "nonaqueous reversed phase chromatography" (NARP).20-21 The NARP technique is primarily used for the separation of lipophilic compounds having low to medium polarity and a molecular weight larger than...

In liquid-solid and liquid-liquid systems, manipulation of mobile phase properties is the dominant approach. Mixtures of poor and good solvents for the types of molecules being separated are prepared and retention observed. There are fewer stationary phases for liquid mobile phase systems for this reason and at least one other. [Pg.416]

Filter and degas a part of the sample. Prepare the instrument as you have done before, choosing a particular stationary and mobile phase system (such as a reverse phase system using a methanol-water mixture for the mobile phase and a nonpolar stationary phase) and flow rate that you will use as a first trial. [Pg.389]

Figure 3.11 illustrates the effect of varying the flow rate of the mobile phase on the efficiency of the separation process and provides a standard method of determining the optimum flow rate for a specific column and mobile phase system. [Pg.109]

The regression coefficients of descriptors denote the system (combination of mobile and stationary phases) response to these interactions. These coefficients can be measured, however the procedure is time consuming and inappropriate for practical purposes. According to the linear solvent strength theory (LSST) the retention of the analyte depends on the volume fraction (cp) of the organic modifier in binary mobile phase systems ... [Pg.26]

The separation of synthetic red pigments has been optimized for HPTLC separation. The structures of the pigments are listed in Table 3.1. Separations were carried out on silica HPTLC plates in presaturated chambers. Three initial mobile-phase systems were applied for the optimization A = n-butanol-formic acid (100+1) B = ethyl acetate C = THF-water (9+1). The optimal ratios of mobile phases were 5.0 A, 5.0 B and 9.0 for the prisma model and 5.0 A, 7.2 B and 10.3 C for the simplex model. The parameters of equations describing the linear and nonlinear dependence of the retention on the composition of the mobile phase are compiled in Table 3.2. It was concluded from the results that both the prisma model and the simplex method are suitable for the optimization of the separation of these red pigments. Multivariate regression analysis indicated that the components of the mobile phase interact with each other [79],... [Pg.374]

A very minor effect on shape selectivity has been observed for changes in mobile phase composition [109]. Shape selectivity increased slightly with an increase in percent organic modifier for water-organic mobile phase systems and increased in order of methanol acetonitrile < ethanol. Changes in the shape selectivity factor... [Pg.259]
