Influence of mobile phase composition on electroosmotic flow velocity, solute retention and column efficiency in open-tubular reversed-phase capillary electrochromatography

The effects of some experimental parameters, such as the volume fraction and type of organic modifier in the mobile phase, and the concentration, type and pH of the buffer on the electroosmotic flow velocity, the retention behavior of test solutes, and the column efficiency have been investigated in capillary electrochromatography (CEC) using an open-tubular column of 9.60 microm I.D. with a porous silica layer chemically modified with C18 as stationary phase. The retention of a group of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) used as a test mixture varied significantly by changing the organic modifier content in the hydroorganic mobile phase according to the reversed-phase-like selectivity of the stationary phase. In addition, an increase in the percentage of organic modifier resulted in a slight increase in the linear velocity of the EOF. On the other hand, when the phosphate buffer concentration was increased over the range 1-50 mM, the electroosmotic mobility fell dramatically, the retention of the solutes decreased steadily, and the plate height showed a significant increase. The results obtained with phosphate, trishydroxymethylaminomethane or 2-morpholinoethanesulfonic acid as buffers were similar when pH remained constant. Optimization in CEC was essential to achieve further enhancement of separation performance, because the analysis time and separation resolution are essentially affected when varying operating parameters. Separations of seven PAHs with more than 100000 plates are presented within 4 min analysis time.     

Effects of Blending Bare-Silica and Reversed-Phase on Retention of Neutral Compounds in Capillary Electrochromatography

Most commercially available instruments for capillary electrochromatography (CEC) have a fixed configuration and lack the flexibility to use shorter columns. Applying a blended stationary phase (a phase consisting of a given ratio of bare silica and reversed phase material) can simulate columns of different length in CEC. The goal of this work was to examine the effect of the degree of blending of reversed-phase columns (with bare silica) on the speed of the separation of neutral compounds in CEC. Optimum column packing mixture was determined from the variation of the solute retention factors as a function of the ratios of blending of reversed-phase and bare silica. By adjusting the column composition, solute retention factors and the analysis run time were halved when compared to a pure reversed-phase column of the same length. Stationary phase blending can be considered as an additional parameter to mobile phase variation, column temperature and applied electric field for the optimization of selectivity and analysis time. By adjusting the stationary phase composition, mobile phase composition, column temperature and applied electric field, the analysis run time of neutral components was decreased more than 75% when compared to a separation obtained on neat reversed-phase column of the same dimensions. The linear dependence of the retention factors as a function of the blend ratio (reversed phase/bare silica) offers a framework for designing a “blended” packed capillary column for CEC separations.

Sol-gel stationary phases for capillary electrochromatography

A review is presented on the current state of the art and future trends in the development of sol-gel stationary phases for capillary electrochromatography (CEC). The design and synthesis of stationary phases with prescribed chromatographic and surface charge properties represent challenging tasks in contemporary CEC research. Further developments in CEC as a high-efficiency liquid-phase separation technique will greatly depend on new breakthroughs in the area of stationary phase development. The requirements imposed on CEC stationary phase performance are significantly more demanding compared with those for HPLC. The design of CEC stationary phase must take into consideration the structural characteristics that will provide not only the selective solute/stationary phase interactions leading to chromatographic separations but also the surface charge properties that determine the magnitude and direction of the electroosmotic flow responsible for the mobile phase movement through the CEC column. Therefore, the stationary phase technology in CEC presents a more complex problem than in conventional chromatographic techniques. Different approaches to stationary phase development have been reported in contemporary CEC literature. The sol-gel approach represents a promising direction in this important research. It is applicable to the preparation of CEC stationary phases in different formats: surface coatings, micro/submicro particles, and monolithic beds. Besides, in the sol-gel approach, appropriate sol-gel precursors and other building blocks can be selected to create a stationary phase with desired structural and surface properties. One remarkable advantage of the sol-gel approach is the mild thermal conditions under which the stationary phase synthesis can be carried out (typically at room temperature). It also provides an effective pathway to integrating the advantageous properties of organic and inorganic material systems, and thereby enhancing and fine-tuning chromatographic selectivity of the created hybrid organic-inorganic stationary phases. This review focuses on recent developments in the design, synthesis, characterization, properties, and applications of sol-gel stationary phases in CEC.     

Joule heating in packed capillaries used in capillary electrochromatography

Effective heat dissipation is critical for reproducible and efficient separations in electrically driven separation systems. Flow rate, retention kinetics, and analyte diffusion rates are some of the characteristics that are affected by variation in the temperature of the mobile phase inside the column. In this study, we examine the issue of Joule heating in packed capillary columns used in capillary electrochromatography (CEC). As almost all commonly used CEC packings are poor thermal conductors, it is assumed that the packing particles do not conduct heat and heat transfer is solely through the mobile phase flowing through the system. The electrical conductivity of various mobile phases was measured at different temperatures by a conductivity meter and the temperature coefficient for each mobile phase was calculated. This was followed by measurement of the electrical current at several applied voltages to calculate the conductivity of the solution within the column as a function of the applied voltage. An overall increase in the conductivity is attributed to Joule heating within the column, while a constant conductivity means good heat dissipation. A plot of conductivity versus applied voltage was used as the indicator of poor heat dissipation. Using theories that have been proposed earlier for modeling of Joule heating effects in capillary electrophoresis (CE), we estimated the temperature within CEC columns. Under mobile and stationary phase conditions typically used in CEC, heat dissipation was found to be not always efficient. Elevated temperatures within the columns in excess of 23 degrees C above ambient temperature were calculated for packed columns, and about 35 degrees C for an open column, under a given set of conditions. The results agree with recently published experimental findings with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) thermometry, and Raman spectroscopic measurements.     

Investigation of the novel mixed-mode stationary phase for capillary electrochromatography. I. Preparation and characterization of sulfonated naphthalimido-modified silyl silica gel

A novel packing material, 3-(4-sulfo-1,8-naphthalimido)propyl-modified silyl silica gel (SNAIP), was prepared for the use as a stationary phase of capillary electrochromatography (CEC). The sulfonic acid groups on SNAIP stationary phase contributed to the generation of electroosmotic flow (EOF) at low pH and served as a strong cation-exchanger. In CEC with SNAIP, a mixed-mode separation was predicted, comprising hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions as well as electrophoretic migration process. In order to understand the retention mechanism on SNAIP, effects of buffer pH, concentration, and mobile phase composition on EOF mobility and the retention factors of barbiturates and benzodiazepines were systematically investigated. Moreover, the retention behavior of barbiturates on SNAIP was investigated and compared with those on octadecyl silica (ODS), phenyl-bonded silica, and 3-(1,8-naphthalimido)propyl-modified silyl silica gel to confirm the presence of pi-pi interaction on its retention mechanism. It was observed that a column efficiency was more than 85,000 N/m for retained compounds and the relative standard deviations for the retention times of EOF marker, thiourea, and five barbiturates were below 2.5% (n = 4). Under an applied voltage of 20 kV and a mobile phase consisted of 5 mM phosphate (pH 3.8) and 40% methanol, the baseline separation of five barbiturates was achieved within 3 min.     

Elution parameters in constant-pressure, single-ramp temperature-programmed gas chromatography

The dependence of the degree of interaction of a solute with the stationary phase at the time of its elution from the column in temperature-programmed GC is best described by interaction level of the solute. The latter represents the fraction of a solute residing in the stationary phase relative to the total amount of the solute. A simple approach to the evaluation of interaction levels of eluting solutes in a single-ramp temperature program is proposed. In a single-ramp temperature program having no preceding temperature plateau, all solutes that elute at temperatures that are about 60 degrees C higher than the initial temperature of the heating ramp elute with nearly the same interaction levels that can be found as exp(-r), where r is dimensionless heating rate. A specially designed temperature plateau preceding the ramp causes all solutes eluting during the entire time of the ramp to elute with nearly the same interaction levels equal to exp(-r). A transformation of the interaction level of a solute into its retention factor or mobility factor (a fraction of a solute in a mobile phase in relation to the total amount of the solute) and vice versa is also described.     

Some considerations concerning the composition of the mobile phase in capillary electrochromatography

In capillary electrochromatography (CEC) the propulsion of the mobile phase is effected by electroosmosis. The velocity of the electroosmotic flow is dependent on surface properties of the stationary phase and on bulk properties of the mobile phase. Therefore, in CEC the optimization of the mobile phase composition must take more factors into account than in pressure-driven LC. In this paper, the impact of the electrolyte concentration in the mobile phase and of the volume fraction of the organic mobile phase constituent on the velocity of the electroosmotic flow and on the chromatographic efficiency is investigated for CEC with capillaries packed with octadecylsilica gel. Bias of the data by an open section of the capillary has been excluded by employing completely packed capillaries and detection in a packed section. Acetonitrile as organic constituent of the mobile phase is compared to other possible organic modifiers (polar organic solvents) concerning influence on velocity of the electroosmotic flow and retention of solutes.     

Superheated water chromatography on phenyl bonded hybrid stationary phases

Phenyl bonded XTerra and XBridge organic/inorganic hybrid stationary phases have been used to separate test solutes and phenol homologues with a pure water mobile phase over a temperature range from 40 to 200 degrees C. The van't Hoff relationships between retention factors and reciprocal temperature were non-linear and could either be interpreted as a systematic change in the properties of the XTerra phenyl column or a marked change in the phase material for the XBridge phenyl column. This was reflected in the methylene selectivity which also showed a change for the XBridge column. The changes in column efficiencies and optimum flow rates were also examined and these suggested that at high temperatures the diffusion of the analytes was significant.     

Effect of high-temperature on high-performance liquid chromatography column stability and performance under temperature-programmed conditions

Six commercially available analytical (4.1 or 4.6 mm i.d.) columns were evaluated under temperature-programmed high-temperature liquid chromatography (HTLC) conditions to access their stability and performance at extreme temperatures. Seven components consisting of acidic, basic and neutral compounds were analyzed under temperature-programmed conditions and solvent gradient conditions using three different mobile phase compositions (acidic, basic and neutral). Each column was checked with a two-component test mix at various stages of the evaluation to look for signs of stationary phase collapse. Three zirconia based stationary phases studied exhibited column bleed under temperature-programmed conditions. The other three columns, a polydentate silica column, a polystyrene-divinylbenzene (PS-DVB) polymeric column, and a graphitic carbon column performed well with no evidence of stationary phase degradation. The R.S.D. for the retention times and efficiencies were less than 10% for most conditions, and not more than 15% during the course of the evaluation for each column. The polydentate silica stationary phase was temperature programmed to 100 degrees C, the PS-DVB stationary phase was temperature programmed up to 150 degrees C, and the graphitic carbon column was used with temperature programming up to 200 degrees C. Comparable peak capacities and similar retention behaviors were observed under solvent gradient and temperature-programmed conditions. Temperature programming with dynamic mobile phase preheating can replace solvent gradient analysis without a loss of peak capacity when used with 4.1 or 4.6 mm columns.

Peak shapes in open tubular ion-exchange capillary electrochromatography of inorganic anions

An experimental study of parameters influencing peak shapes in ion-exchange open tubular (OT) capillary electrochromatography (CEC) was conducted using adsorbed quaternary aminated latex particles as the stationary phase. The combination of separation mechanisms from both capillary electrophoresis and ion-exchange chromatography results in peak broadening in OT-CEC arising from both these techniques. The sources of peak broadening that were considered included the relative electrophoretic mobilities of the eluent co-ion and analyte, and resistance to mass transfer in both the mobile and stationary phases. The parameters investigated were the mobility of the eluent co-ion, column diameter, separation temperature and secondary interactions between the analyte and the stationary phase. The electromigration dispersion was found to influence peak shapes to a minor extent, indicating that chromatographic retention was the dominant source of dispersion. Improving the resistance to mass transfer in the mobile phase by decreasing the capillary diameter improved peak shapes, with symmetrical peaks being obtained in a 25 microm I.D. column. However, an increase in temperature from 25 degrees C to 55 degrees C failed to show any significant improvement. The addition of p-cyanophenol to the mobile phase to suppress secondary interactions with the stationary phase did not result in the expected improvement in efficiency.     

毛细管电色谱和加压毛细管电色谱的进展与应用

毛细管电色谱(CEC)以内含色谱固定相的毛细管为分离柱,以电渗流为驱动力,既可以分离带电物质也可以分离中性物质。它结合了毛细管电泳和高效液相色谱两者的优点,兼具高柱效、高分辨率、高选择性和高峰容量的特点,同时具有色谱和电泳的双重分离机理。然而,“纯粹”的电色谱在实际应用中有着天然的弱点,即: 在电流通过毛细管柱中的流动相时容易产生气泡(焦耳热作用),从而使电流中断和电渗流停止,毛细管柱必须被重新用流动相润湿后方能再次使用。加压毛细管电色谱(pCEC)将液相色谱中的压力流引入CEC系统中,不仅解决了气泡、干柱等问题,而且实现了定量阀进样和二元梯度洗脱。CEC和pCEC作为微分离领域的两种前沿技术,满足了当前复杂样品分析和分析仪器微型化的需求,近年来获得了广泛的关注。本文综述了这两种技术近来的发展,包括仪器、色谱固定相的发展,总结了其在生命科学、药物分析、食品安全以及环保样品分析等方面的应用进展,评述了各方法的特点,并展望了CEC和pCEC今后的发展和应用前景。     

Porous layer open-tubular column with styrene and itaconic acid-copolymerized polymer as stationary phase for capillary electrochromatography–mass spectrometry

Enhancing the specific surface area of stationary phase is important in chromatographic science, especially in open-tubular column in which the coating only exists on the inner surface. In this work, a porous layer open-tubular (PLOT) column with stationary phase of styrene and itaconic acid-copolymerized polymer was developed. Thermal-initiated polymerization method with strategies like controlling the ratio of reaction reagents to solvents and reaction time, confinement by the narrow inner diameter of capillary were used for preparing the stationary phase with uniform structure and relatively thick layer. Due to the high separation efficiency and capacity, the PLOT column was used for capillary electrochromatography (CEC) separation of multiple groups of analytes like alkylbenzenes, phenyl amines, phenols, vanillins, and sulfonamides with theoretical plates (N) up to 1,54,845 N/m. In addition, due to high permeability of the CEC column and large electroosmotic flow mobility generated by abundant carboxyl groups in the coating material, the PLOT-CEC column was successfully coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) through a sheath flow interface. The developed PLOT-CEC-MS method was used for the analysis of antiseptics like parabens and herbicides like pyridines.     

Properties and Applications of Mixed Packing Capillary Electrochromatography

Mixed packing capillary electrochromatography (MP CEC) with the stationary phase comprising a physical mixture of strong cation exchange (SCX) phase and octadecysilyl (ODS) phase was developed. With the existence of a sulfonic acid group on the surface of SCX, not only could the electroosmotic flow (EOF) remain high at low pH, but also the hydrophilicity of the stationary phase was increased greatly, leading to broad adaptable ranges of both pH and organic modifier concentration in the mobile phase. At the same time, with the coexistence of C₁₈ on the surface of ODS, both the retention and the resolution of samples were improved. Accordingly, MP CEC combined the advantages of both SCX and ODS columns. Effects of operation parameters on EOF and the capacity factors of solutes as well as the retention mechanism of such a column were studied systematically. In addition, MP CEC columns were used in the analysis of strong polar solutes as well as for the high speed separation of acidic, basic, and neutral compounds in a single run.

Responses of enantioselective characteristics of imidazolinone herbicides and Chiralcel OJ column to temperature variations

Temperature affects not only the chromatographic characteristics of solute but may also alter the conformation of the stationary phase. However, temperature influences on enantioseparation of solute and conformation of chiral stationary phase (CSP) are seldom considered simultaneously. In this study, three temperature programs, a conventional heating procedure, a cyclic van't Hoff program, and a step-temperature program, were employed to evaluate temperature effects on enantioseparation of five imidazolinone herbicides on Chiralcel OJ column and the conformational state of the stationary phase. The van't Hoff plots of retention factor (k'), distribution constant (K) and separation factor (alpha) for imazapyr (1), imazapic (2), imazethapyr (3), and imazamox (4) were linear within 15-50 degrees C. Nonlinear van't Hoff plots of alpha were observed for imazaquin (5) with mobile phase of n-hexane (0.1% TFA)-2-propanol at 70/30 or 60/40 (v/v). The large molecular size of imazaquin (5) and van't Hoff plots of alpha were therefore more sensitive at detecting conformational changes of the stationary phase. Small but irreversible conformational changes occurred at 5-10 degrees C with the solvent ratio of 60/40. During the cyclic van't Hoff program, reversible conformational changes were observed at >or=15 degrees C. A switch was even visible at about 25 degrees C with the solvent ratio of 60/40 during the re-cooling cycle. The cyclic van't Hoff temperature program showed that using OJ column may yield satisfactory results at 15-50 degrees C but not at 相似文献   

Streptavidin chiral stationary phase for the separation of adenosine enantiomers

In this paper, a microbore column packed with streptavidin particles was used, at various temperatures (0-24 degrees C), to separate the adenosine enantiomers by HPLC. Using an aqueous mobile phase, the apparent enantioseparation was high for a small molecule, varying from 11.5 at 0 degrees C to 6.2 at 24 degrees C. From the experiments carried out with a streptavidin-biotin complex stationary phase, it was demonstrated that the blockage of the biotin sites of the immobilized streptavidin was responsible for a strong decrease in the enantioselectivity via a direct and/or an indirect effect. From the analysis of the concentration dependencies of the solute retention factor, it was also shown that a reduction of the D-adenosine specific binding sites occurred at the lowest temperature. The thermodynamic parameters determined from the van't Hoff plots indicated that the D-adenosine binding to the streptavidin specific sites was enthalpically driven.     

Factors influencing retention and resolution of substituted alkylbenzenes in reversed-phase liquid chromatography

Summary The retention data of isomeric xylenes, ethyltoluenes and diethylbenzenes, and of mesitylene, benzene, toluene and ethylbenzene were obtained on a reversedphase column using methanol-water and ethanol-water mobile phases at four different temperatures. This database was used to relate the dependence of solute retention and resolution on the polarity of the mobile phase, solute dipole moment, and column temperature. The additivity of the free energy of the transfer of solute molecules or solute segments from the stationary phase to the mobile phase, was examined for the isomeric compounds. For this, the logarithm of the net retention volume was substituted for the free energy. Deviations from the additivity of free energies indicate that the separation of isomeric substituted alkylbenzenes is governed by their differential interactions with both the polar mobile phase and nonpolar stationary phase. Among the disubstituted alkylbenzenes,ortho-isomers favor the mobile phase more andpara-isomers tend to prefer the stationary phase more. Themeta-isomers are found to follow the additivity rule closely. These trends are amplified as the polarity of the mobile phase is increased indicating that these isomers are resolved better in water-rich mobile phases. These findings are substantiated by analogous results from gas-liquid chromatographic retention data, estimation of dipole moment effects, and examination of the entropic and enthalpic contributions to the net retention volume.Dedicated to Professor Leslie S. Ettre on the occasion of his 70th birthday.
