- OPTIMAL
PERFORMANCE = KEEP
IT RUNNING REGULARLY
- Selection of LC modes
- HPLC HARDWARE
- Mixing controller
- Mix difft solvents
in precise ratios
- reqd for: ISOCRATIC=
constant solvent composition.
GRADIENT= changing solvent
composition
- mix diffnt
solvents in
precise ratios
- make sure that
solvents are
miscible
- Injector
- loop & valve configuration
- load & inject positions
- flat ended syringe -
manual injection
- ensure the loop is
entirely filled - inject
sample in 1 plug (~
3 rinses)
- Columns
- generally = stainless steel
- Analytical column: ID-
1-5mm, particle size-
3-5um, length- 35-250mm,
plates/m-40000-70000
- typical: 4.6mm x
5um x 150m =
10000
plates/column
- Microbore or 'rocket'
- short (30-75mm), thin
(<4.6mm ID), small
particles (3um) =
faster
- what's inside?
- normal p.: polar
stat, n-polar
solvent (Si stst p.),
1:9 EtOAc:hexane
mob p.
- reverse p.:
n-polar stat, polar
solvent. (C18 stat
p.), 15:85
MeOH:H2O mob
p.
- Monolithic (single crystal)
- Polymer based,
porous core, can
control pore size
- can run under
lower pressure
condition
- better
resolution,
speed.
- useful for larger mols.
- How do you choose?
- partition Chrom.
- OPTIMISING
CONDITIONS
(3 parameters)
- N : plate number
- k : retention factor
(strongly dependent upon
make-up of mob. p.)
Anmerkungen:
- ideal range of k:2-10
complex mix: 0.5 - 20
α : can be changed by choosing diff column packing
- α:
selectivity
factor
- stat. p. is a 2nd
liquid immiscible w
liq mob. p
- nonionic, polar w
low/moderate mol
mass. (ionic cmpds w
derivatization &ion
pairing)
- change mob.
p. composition
= enhance
separation
- SOLVENT STRENGTH
- Strong solvent:
interacts strongly w
solutes (often polar)
- Polarity index (P') - based upon
solubility in 3 separate solvents,
-a measure of relative polarity,
-higher P' = stronger
- Mixed solvent
- P(AB)' = *AP'(A) + *BP'(B)
*A= volume fraction of
solvent A
- Normal Phase :
k2/k1 = 10
^(P'1-P'2)/2
Anmerkungen:
- if the ratio k2/k1 is large, need o have a big k2. if its small, - not resolved
k2: final retention factor
k1: initial "
- Rev Phase: k2/k1 =
10 ^(P'2-P'1)/2
- EFFECT OF
MOB. P. ON α.
- manipulate
chemi nature: -
proton acceptor,
proton donor,
dipolar
interactions
Anmerkungen:
- start to add small amt of acid or base.
- in rev p. : aq
solns of :
THF,
acetonitrile,
methanol.
- ION PAIR CHROM.
(ANALYSTES THAT
MAY EASILY
IONISE) -org acids,
amines.
- + solvent modifier
- org salt w large org counter ion
- added in small conc
- 2 xplanations
- counter ion pairs w
analyte ion & this
pair partition into
stat. phase.
- counter ion retained by the
neutral stat. phase giving it a
charge & get reversible ion-pair
interactions w charged analyte
- CHIRAL SEPARATIONS
- ceramic Mg silicate
- cyclodextrin
- Pirkle type chiral stat. phase.
Works on π acceptor/ π donor
interactions some H bonding.
- separate chiral compounds - enantiomers
- either mob/stat
phase reqd to be
chiral.
- complexation btwn chiral resolving
agent w one of the isomers results
in separation.
- adsorption chrom.
- Ion Chrom
- active sites for cation
exchange: sulfonate
(strong acid) & carboxylic
acid gp (weak)
- Anionic exchangers -
strongly basic tertiary amine
gps / weak basic primary
amine groups.
- sulfonate based
cationic resin
equilibrated w NaOAc
-injection of amines &
alcohol
- base materials:
silica/zirconium/
organic polymer
- with polymer columns:
-know the pressure
limitations of the packing,
- packing may
swell/contract in different
solvents.
- Size exclusion C.
(gel permeation c.)
- high mol mass sp.
- packings (~10um)
silica/polymer particles - a
network of uniform pores
- most stat. phases are
crosslinked polymers
- polymers may
expand/contract
in diffnt solvents.
- Vtot = Vg + Vi + Vo
Anmerkungen:
- Vg= vol occupied by stat p.
Vi= vol of solvent held in pores
Vo= exclusion vol (vol solvent req to elute cmpnds too big for pores)
- Vo = largest mol,
Vi + Vo = smallest
mols, Ve=Vo + KVi =
intermediate mols (assume theres no mixing)
Anmerkungen:
- KVi : measure of th efraction of mols in the pores (K = Cs/Cm)
- get finer
separation by
connecting
columns in
series.
problems??
- Affinity
- bond an
affinity ligand
to a neutral
solid support
- ligand reversibly and
selectively bind to analyte (Ab,
enz inhibitor)
- mobile phase
hv dual roles:
- promote strong
binding (analyte &
affinity ligand)
- release bound sp.
when other cmpds
hv been eluted
- can wash out by
changing ionic strength
or changing pH
