Comparing Electrochemical,Fluorescence, and Ultraviolet Detectors for HPLC Analysis of the Decapeptide,Nafarelin

Abstract

This report describes a reverse-phase HPLC technique to determine the concentration of nafarelin (a decapeptide luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analog) in aqueous solutions for intranasal administration. Pursuant to the method development we evaluated three different detectors with respect to sensitivity, linearity, specificity and reliability. The three detector types investigated were: spectrophotometric (225 nm), electrochemical (at +1.2 v), and fluorescence (excitation = 282 nm, emission = 332 nm). All three detectors gave satisfactorily linear response, and gave equivalent results for nafarelin samples assayed in parallel. The lower detection limits for the three detectors were: ultraviolet = 1.5 ng, electrochemical = 2.0 ng, and fluorescence = 0.6 ng. Thus, the three detector types are nearly equally sensitive for nafarelin analysis. For routine determinations the ultraviolet detector is superior to the electrochemical and fluorescence detectors with respect to convenience of operation.     

Optical photothermal detection in HPLC

A mode-mismatched parallel dual-beam thermal lens spectrometer with a far-field single-channel detector system was used as a detector in HPLC. An expert estimation of the measurement results was applied to optimize the optical-scheme configuration of the spectrometer to achieve the longest linear calibration range and highest repeatability under chromatographic flow conditions. Chelates with 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol were separated and determined with the limits of detection of n x 10(-8)- n x 10(-7) mol L(-1); the relative standard deviation of measurements was 46%. Xylenol Orange, 4-(2-thiazolylazo)resorcinol, and dithizone were studied as post-column reagents in thermal lens detection in ion chromatography. The limits of detection were n x 10(-8)- n x 10(-7) mol L(-1); the linear calibration ranges were about three orders; the relative standard deviation of measurements was 3-7%. A combined photothermal-refractometric detector for HPLC based on a polarization interferometer is proposed. Metal complexes as 4-(pyridylazo)resorcinol chelates (limits of detection of n x 10(-8)- n x 10(-7) mol L(-1)) and sugars (limits of detection of 10-20 ng L(-1)) were investigated as model substances. Obtained results were compared with results for traditional detectors, which show that photothermal detection has higher sensitivity than photometric and other absorption detectors.     

Combining amperometry and mass spectrometry as a dual detection approach for capillary electrophoresis

Dual detection concepts (DDCs) are becoming more and more popular in analytical chemistry. In this work, we describe a novel DDC for capillary electrophoresis (CE) consisting of an amperometric detector (AD) and a mass spectrometer (MS). This detector combination has a good complementarity as the AD exhibits high sensitivity, whereas the MS provides excellent selectivity. Both detectors are based on a destructive detection principle, making a serial detector arrangement impossible. Thus, for the realization of the DDC, the CE flow was divided into two parts with a flow splitter. The DDC was characterized in a proof-of-concept study with ferrocene derivates and a nonaqueous background electrolyte. We could show that splitting the CE flow was a suitable method for the instrumental realization of the DDC consisting of two destructive detectors. By lowering the height of the AD compared to the MS, it was possible to synchronize the detector responses. Additionally, for the chosen model system, we confirmed that the AD was much more reproducible and had lower limits of detection (LODs) than the MS. The LODs were identical for the DDC and the single-detection arrangements, indicating no sensitivity decrease due to the CE flow splitting. The DDC was successfully applied to determine the drug and doping agent trimetazidine.     

Practical method for evaluation of linearity and effective pathlength of on-capillary photometric detectors in capillary electrophoresis

The optical characteristics of on-capillary photometric detectors for capillary electrophoresis were evaluated and five commercial detectors were compared. Plots of sensitivity (absorbance/concentration) versus absorbance obtained with a suitable testing solution yield both the linear range and the effective path length of the detector. The detector linearity is a crucial parameter when using absorbing electrolytes, such as for indirect photometric detection, and especially for highly absorbing electrolyte probe ions. The upper limits of the linear ranges (determined as 5% decline in sensitivity) for five commercial detectors ranged from 0.175 to 1.2 AU. The effective pathlength reflects the quality of the optical design of the detector and is equal to the capillary internal diameter only for a light beam passing exactly through the capillary centre, but becomes progressively shorter for imperfect optical designs. The determined effective pathlength for the five investigated detectors ranged from 49.7 to 64.6 microm for a 75 microm I.D. capillary.     

Determination of epichlorohydrin in water and sewage samples

The simple, quick and effective methods for the analysis of epichlorohydrin (ECH) in water and sewage samples with the use of gas chromatography have been presented. From among all the methods developed, the procedures for monitoring drinking-water quality and the methods which allow the determination of epichlorohydrin in sewage samples have been selected.

The limits of ECH detection have been determined by direct aqueous injection (DAI) into the chromatographic column and an analysis with the application of a flame ionization detector (FID), a mass spectrometry detector (MS), an electron capture detector (ECD) and atomic emission detection (AED) detectors. The method allows the determination of ECH in water samples at the concentration level of 0.1 mg l⁻¹. Moreover, the developed methods of water samples preparation for chromatographic analysis using the following extraction methods: headspace (HS), stripping with adsorption on solid phase, liquid–liquid extraction (LLE), solid phase extraction (SPE) and solid phase microextraction (SPME) have been evaluated. The limits of ECH detection for each procedure with the application of gas chromatography (GC) combined with various detectors have been determined and their statistical evaluation has been presented. The SPME method allowed us to determine ECH in water samples at the concentration levels of 1.0 ng l⁻¹.

The results of studies on the choice of the selective methods allowing ECH analysis in sewage samples have been demonstrated. The applied SPME method was found to be a quick and effective technique to determine micro trace amounts of ECH in samples containing high amounts of various organic compounds.     

Detection limits of thermal conductivity and photoionization detectors in high speed narrow bore CGC

Not only the required input band width and the availability of compatible instrumentation limit the reduction of column diameter but so do the column sample capacity and detector characteristics, such as volume and sensitivity. In this paper the scope and limitations of thermal conductivity and photoionization detection at atmospheric and reduced pressures for capillary gas chromatography are discussed at length. It is shown that the sensitivity of a thermal conductivity detector is inversely proportional to the pressure. Reduction of cell volume and decrease of pressure appear equivalent with respect to minimum detectable amount and peak broadening. This results in femtogram detection limits for column diameters as low as 10 μm. For photoionization detectors the sensitivity did not improve at reduced pressures, so that the effect of reduced pressure and addition of make-up gas on the detection limits is the same. Nevertheless, the applicability of a low volume photoionization detector (40 μl) for capillary columns with a diameter as low as 50 μm will be demonstrated by series coupled PID and FID detectors and illustrated with various applications.     

The Effects of the Electrode System Geometry on the Properties of Contactless Conductivity Detectors for Capillary Electrophoresis

The basic analytical parameters of contactless conductivity detectors with planar, semi‐tubular and tubular electrodes have been compared. It has been found that the differences in the analytical parameters of the detectors are not significant for analytical use. The mean values of baseline peak‐to‐peak noise of 0.27, 0.35 and 0.33 mV, sensitivities of 0.97, 2.08 and 2.27 mV/pg (for K⁺ ion), limits of detection of 0.93, 0.65 and 0.53, and the heights equivalent to a theoretical plate of 2.83, 2.39 and 2.40 μm were obtained for the detectors with planar, semi/tubular and tubular electrodes, respectively. Modifications of the basic detectors, namely a detector with thinned capillary wall and planar electrodes, and a detector with semi‐tubular electrodes placed one against the other on the opposite sides of the capillary were also tested. The configuration with the electrodes placed one against the other permits detector construction with zero gap between the electrodes without increasing the noise; when the electrodes overlap, the detector begins to operate as a permittivity detector.     

Use of a capacitance measurement device for surrogate noncontact conductance measurement

A capacitance to digital converter (AD7746) is used in the same mode as noncontact conductance detectors. The detector output is linearly proportional to specific conductance (sigma) at low sigma values but becomes nonlinear and reaches a plateau value at sigma approximately >0.75 mS/cm, regardless of the nature of the electrolyte. For all applications at sub- to low-mM concentrations, the device, available as an evaluation board, provides a very affordable nothing-else-required means of contactless surrogate conductivity detection from capillary scale to larger bore conduits. For the same measurement cell volume, the detector provides virtually the same limits of detection (LODs) as a standard galvanic contact conductivity detector in conventional scale suppressed conductometric ion chromatography. The detection limits deteriorate as the conduit inner diameter decreases.     

Evaluation of stationary phases and gas chromatographic detectors for determination of amines in water

For the first time, a systematic overview deals with the advantages and disadvantages of several stationary phases (polar and non‐polar) and gas chromatographic detectors (flame ionization detector, nitrogen–phosphorus detector and MS) for the determination of 27 amines (aliphatic and aromatic amines and N‐nitrosamines) in water samples. To increase sensitivity (250 mL of sample was eluted with 150 μL of solvent) and matrix elimination, an automatic SPE system was employed prior to GC determination. The best results in terms of resolution and retention times were achieved using a column coated with 5% phenyl‐dimethylpolysiloxane (DB‐5). Capacity factor (k) values for the 27 amines increased with the rise in the polarity of the stationary phase, ranging from 3.0–27.7 and 2.2–14.4 for polar (polyethylene glycol) and non‐polar (DB‐5) columns, respectively. The detection limits of the method were 0.9–9 μg/L for flame ionization detector, 8–95 ng/L for nitrogen–phosphorus detector and 0.2–6.3 ng/L for MS. The precision was similar for the three detectors (RSD, 3.7–6.0%). The GC‐MS method was applied with a high degree of accuracy and precision to determine amines in real samples including tap, river, pond, well, swimming pool and wastewaters.     

Simultaneous determination of cyanide and carbonyls in cyanogenic plants by gas chromatography-electron capture/photoionization detection

A new method to simultaneously detect cyanide and carbonyl compounds arising from cyanogenic glycosides in plants is described. A portable gas chromatograph.housing two detectors using a single carrier gas is employed to measure the carbonyl compounds (photoionization detector) and cyanide as its cyanogen chloride derivative (electron capture detector) from the headspace of a plant sample. This method affords in-field, rapid screening of plants to determine cyanogenicity. Good agreement was seen between this method for cyanide determination and two traditional field cyanide test kits. Detection of both the cyanide and the carbonyl compound(s) allows for confirmation of the presence of cyanogenic glycosides and eliminates the problem of false positives often seen in traditional cyanide test kits. Gas phase limits of detection for cyanide, acetone, butanone, and benzaldehyde were 69, 41, 105, and 0.39 parts per billion by volume (ppbv), respectively, allowing sensitive detection of cyanogenic glycoside breakdown products. The method's utility for screening cyanogenic plants is demonstrated, and it should be useful for screening cyanogenic foodstuffs to determine suitability for consumption.
