摘 要: | The performance of small-bore columns of 1 mm I. D. for HPLC is described. The effect of mobile phase velocity and connecting effect on the values of H, a′, b′ and β are investigated. By operating at mobile phase velocity of 0.8 mm/s, the column of 200×1 mm I. D. packed with YWG-5μm (silica gel) can give the efficiency of about 11,000 plates which meet the needs of ordinary analysis. Oompared with column of 150×2 mm I. D., the solvent consumption is reduced to 1/3. The value of n~∞/t_r~0 about 700 T. P./s can be obtained. But the value of β is rather large. It needs further to be improved. Coupling 5 columns of 200×1 mm I. D., the efficiency of about 50,000 plates can be obtained. For a column of 1000×1 mm I. D. packed directly, the efficiency of 70,000 plates was achieved. Some applications of 1 mm I. D. column are given. We propose to use the column of 200×1mm I. D. in the routine analysis.
