Application of capillary reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography to high-sensitivity protein sequence analysis.

A continuous gradient elution method for capillary column (less than 0.32 mm I.D.) liquid chromatography was developed. Gradient eluent from a microbore liquid chromatograph was split ahead of the injector so that an accurate percentage (2-3%) of the mobile phase delivered by the pump flowed through the capillary column. The outlet of the column was connected to a length of 0.075 mm I.D. fused-silica capillary tubing which, in turn, was connected to a 6-mm optical path length longitudinal capillary flow cell. Fused-silica capillary columns of 0.32 mm I.D. were slurry-packed efficiently with 7-microns spherical, 300 A pore size, C8 bonded-phase particles, and evaluated in terms of their ability to resolve mixtures of proteins, peptides or phenylthiohydantoin (PTH)-amino acid derivatives. The gradient elution profiles agreed with those obtained using microbore (less than 2.1 mm I.D.) and larger bore columns. The minimum detectable amounts for proteins and PTH-amino acids on 0.32 mm I.D. capillary columns were 50 pg and 25 fmol, respectively. At a flow-rate of 3.6 microliters/min, proteins and peptides were recovered from the capillary columns in volumes of about 2-8 microliters. The use of a multiple-wavelength, forward-optics detector for identifying tryptophan- and tyrosine-containing peptides is discussed.     

Short communication performance of octadecylsilylated monolithic silica capillary columns of 530 microm inner diameter in HPLC

Monolithic silica capillary columns were successfully prepared in a fused silica capillary of 530 microm inner diameter and evaluated in HPLC after octadecylsilylation (ODS). Their efficiency and permeability were compared with those of columns pakked with 5-microm and 3-microm ODS-silica particles. The monolithic silica columns having different domain sizes (combined size of through-pore and skeleton) showed 2.5-4.0-times higher permeability (K= 5.2-8.4 x 10(-14) m2) than capillary columns packed with 3-mm particles, while giving similar column efficiency. The monolithic silica capillary columns gave a plate height of about 11-13 microm, or 11 200-13 400 theoretical plates/150 mm column length, in 80% methanol at a linear mobile phase velocity of 1.0 mm/s. The monolithic column having a smaller domain size showed higher column efficiency and higher pressure drop, although the monolithic column with a larger domain size showed better overall column performance, or smaller separation impedance (E value). The larger-diameter (530 microm id) monolithic silica capillary column afforded a good peak shape in gradient elution of proteins at a flow rate of up to 100 microL/min and an injection volume of up to 10 microL.     

Fast separation of native proteins using sub‐2 µm nonporous silica particles in a chromatographic cake

A novel method for the fast separation of native proteins was investigated using sub‐2 µm nonporous silica packing inside a chromatographic cake having a diameter much larger than its thickness. Various silica‐based particles ranging from 630 nm to 1.2 µm were synthesized and chemically modified with polyethylene glycol 600. The packing material was laterally packed into a series of chromatographic cakes containing the same diameter (10 mm) and different thicknesses, ranging from 2 to 10 mm, and tested by hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The results showed that the sub‐2 µm NPS particles in a small chromatographic cake were found to have a high efficiency at a flow rate of 10 mL/min and a backpressure of <20 MPa. The effect of the thickness of the chromatographic cake on the resolution of the proteins was also investigated and it was found that too short a column length could dramatically decrease the protein resolution; the minimum column length was also qualitatively evaluated. The presented method is expected to be useful for routine analysis of native and/or intact proteins in hospitals and as a tool for the fast screening protein drugs and optimization of experimental laboratory conditions.

Possibilities and limitations of fast GC with narrow-bore columns

In this work, two narrow-bore capillary columns with different internal diameters (I.D.) 0.15 mm (15 m length, 0.15 microm film thickness) and 0.10 mm (10 m length, 0.10 microm film thickness) with the same stationary phase (5% diphenyl 95% dimethylsiloxane), phase ratio and separation power were compared with regard to their advantages, practical limitations and applicability in fast GC on commercially available instrumentation. The column comparison concerns fast GC method development, speed and separation efficiency, the sample transfer into the column utilizing split and splitless inlet, sample capacity, detection (analysing compounds of a wide range of polarities and volatilities--even n-alkanes C16-C28 and selected pesticides) and ruggedness (in the field of ultratrace analysis of pesticide residues in real matrix). Under conditions corresponding to speed/separation efficiency trade-off 0.10 mm I.D. versus 0.15 mm I.D. column provides a speed gain of 1.74, but all other parameters investigated were better for the 0.15 mm I.D. column concerning more efficient sample transfer from inlet to the column using splitless injection, no discrimination with split injection. Better sample capacity (three times higher for the 0.15 mm than for the 0.10 mm I.D. column) resulted in improved ruggedness and simpler fast GC-MS method development.     

Elevated temperature-extended column length conventional liquid chromatography to increase peak capacity for the analysis of tryptic digests

High efficiency separations (200 000 plates) were obtained on conventional LC equipment by coupling 8 x 25 cm x 2.1 (or 4.6) mm id x 5 microm d(p) ODS columns (total length 2 m) and operation at 60 degrees C using a dedicated LC oven. The peak capacity in this 1-D set-up was 900 for the separation of human serum tryptic peptides analyzed after depletion of six highly abundant proteins. The chromatographic performance of an elevated temperature-extended column length conventional LC is highlighted.     

Combination of COFRADIC and high temperature-extended column length conventional liquid chromatography: a very efficient way to tackle complex protein samples, such as serum

The previously reported COmbined FRActional DIagonal Chromatography (COFRA-DIC) methodology, in which a subset of peptides representative for their parent proteins are sorted, is particularly powerful for whole proteome analysis. This peptide-centric technology is built around diagonal chromatography, where peptide separations are crucial. This paper presents high efficiency peptide separations, in which four 250 x 2.1 mm, 5 microm Zorbax 300SB-C18 columns (total length 1 m) were coupled at operating temperatures of 60'C using a dedicated LC oven and conventional LC equipment. The high efficiency separations were combined with the COFRADIC procedure. This extremely powerful combination resulted, for the analysis of serum, in an increase in the uniquely identified peptide sequences by a factor of 2.6, compared to the COFRADIC procedure on a 25 cm column. This is a reflection of the increased peak capacity obtained on the 1 m column, which was calculated to be a factor 2.7 higher than on the 25 cm column. Besides more efficient sorting, less ion suppression was noticed.     

The Effect of Column Diameter on HPLC Separations Using Constant Length Columns

Abstract

The effect of column dimensions on resolution, sample capacity, mobile-phase use and efficiency using both constant flow-rate and constant linear velocity was studied. The four columns selected have the same length (238 mm), but different diameters (column A: 4.6 mm; column B: 4.0 mm; column C: 3.2 mm and column D: 2.1 mm). It was observed that at constant floworate the reduced plate height was the lowest for columns B and C, higher for column A and highest for column D. On the other hand increasing the injected quantity while keeping injected volume constant revealed columns B and C to have a better efficiency only at the low concentrations. Column A with the largest diameter was superior at high concentrations and thus offers the best loadability. Column D offered, as expected, poor loadability. Examination of the columns at the same calculated linear velocity, showed no appreciable changes in efficiency for the four columns. Preferable detection limits and big solvent savings were obtained when small column diameters were used.     

Comparison between monolithic conventional size, microbore and capillary poly(p-methylstyrene-co-1,2-bis(p-vinylphenyl)ethane) high-performance liquid chromatography columns Synthesis, application, long-term stability and reproducibility

Novel monolithic supports (MS/BVPE) were prepared by thermally initiated free radical copolymerisation of p-methylstyrene (MS) and 1,2-bis(p-vinylphenyl)ethane (BVPE). The polymer was synthesised in fused silica capillaries (80 mm x 0.2 mm and 80 mm x 0.53 mm) and in borosilicate glass columns (90 mm x 1.0 mm and 90 mm x 3.0 mm) to yield different HPLC column designs. A comparison of those column dimensions regarding morphology as well as separation efficiency and applicability in bioanalysis is presented. The efficiency towards proteins as well as oligonucleotides was found to be considerably improved with decreasing column I.D. While a 5-protein mixture was baseline separated on all investigated column designs, the separation of small biomolecules like oligonucleotides or peptides on microbore and conventional size glass columns was strongly restricted in terms of resolution due to extensive peak broadening or the occurrence of peak asymmetry. Monolithic MS/BVPE capillary columns up to 0.53 mm I.D., however, proved to be applicable to the fractionation of the whole spectrum of biopolymers, including proteins, peptides, oligonucleotides as well as double-stranded DNA fragments. Due to the fact that reliable chromatography makes great demand on the robustness of the stationary phase, monolithic MS/BVPE capillaries were subjected to a comprehensive reproducibility study including run-to-run as well as batch-to-batch reproducibility.     

Disposable microcolumns with welded metal frits

This study reports the preparation of disposable microcolumns with welded metal frits for the first time. First, the bottom of glass‐lined stainless‐steel tubing of 30 cm length, 1.6 mm od, and 0.5 mm id was welded with a stainless‐steel screen frit of 1.6 mm diameter. A micro‐welding machine was used for this. Next, the column was connected to a slurry packer and packed with porous silica particles. Then, the inlet of the column was carefully welded with another frit. The column was tested for separation of a test mix composed of phenol, 2‐nitrophenol, acetophenone, aceanilide, and benzamide. Another column of the same physical dimension was also prepared with frits that were not welded to the column. The chromatographic performances of the two groups of columns (welded frits versus non‐welded frits) were examined. The columns of welded frits showed ca. 18% better separation efficiency (number of theoretical plates) than those of non‐welded frits.     

High-capacity purification of hen egg-white proteins by ion-exchange electrochromatography with an oscillatory transverse electric field

The ion-exchange electrochromatography with an oscillatory electric field perpendicular to the mobile-phase flow driven by pressure (pIEEC) was used to separate hen egg-white (HEW) proteins. The results were compared with those of normal ion-exchange chromatography (IEC). The column was designed as three-compartment rectangular column of 2-mL with dimensions (length x width x depth) of 40 x 10 x 5 mm(3) and the electric field was applied across the direction of column width. Q Sepharose FF was packed into the central compartment as the chromatographic bed. It was confirmed that the dynamic binding capacity (DBC) of different proteins (ovotransferrin and ovalbumin) in the HEW solution increased 2.3 times when an oscillatory electric current of 30 mA at 1/20 Hz was applied in the transverse column direction. Then, the HEW proteins were separated by the pIEEC at loading amounts 2.3-fold higher than those by the IEC. When the feedstock of about one-third of the DBC was applied to the columns (i.e., 7 mL for the pIEEC and 3 mL for the IEC), similar separation efficiencies of the two chromatographic modes were achieved. Both the recovery yield and purity reached 73% to over 90%. The results indicate that the pIEEC is promising for high-capacity purification of proteins.
