Sample size and retention values in gradient liquid chromatography of synthetic polymers

Summary Retention times in gradient liquid chromatography of synthetic polymers are often dependent on sample size. They increase with column load if the separation mechanism is governed by a solution process but decrease with increasing load if the mechanism is governed by adsorption. Since retention times independent of sample size are a prerequisite for peak identification as well as for the correct measurement of elution bands of samples with a broad distribution, measures to counteract sample-size effects deserve attention. Usually both solubility and adsorption are effective in gradient liquid chromatography of synthetic polymers. An appropriate balance of both effects is suitable for diminishing the influence of sample size on retention time of synthetic polymers. Ternary gradients allowing independent control of solubility and adsorption are promising.     

Comparison of ultra high performance supercritical fluid chromatography,ultra high performance liquid chromatography,and gas chromatography for the separation of synthetic cathinones

A comparison of ultra high performance supercritical fluid chromatography, ultra high performance liquid chromatography, and gas chromatography for the separation of synthetic cathinones has been conducted. Nine different mixtures of bath salts were analyzed in this study. The three different chromatographic techniques were examined using a general set of controlled synthetic cathinones as well as a variety of other synthetic cathinones that exist as positional isomers. Overall 35 different synthetic cathinones were analyzed. A variety of column types and chromatographic modes were examined for developing each separation. For the ultra high performance supercritical fluid chromatography separations, analyses were performed using a series of Torus and Trefoil columns with either ammonium formate or ammonium hydroxide as additives, and methanol, ethanol or isopropanol organic solvents as modifiers. Ultra high performance liquid chromatographic separations were performed in both reversed phase and hydrophilic interaction chromatographic modes using SPP C18 and SPP HILIC columns. Gas chromatography separations were performed using an Elite‐5MS capillary column. The orthogonality of ultra high performance supercritical fluid chromatography, ultra high performance liquid chromatography, and gas chromatography was examined using principal component analysis. For the best overall separation of synthetic cathinones, the use of ultra high performance supercritical fluid chromatography in combination with gas chromatography is recommended.

Deformation and degradation of polymers in ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography

Ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) using columns packed with sub-2 μm particles has great potential for separations of many types of complex samples, including polymers. However, the application of UHPLC for the analysis of polymers meets some fundamental obstacles. Small particles and narrow bore tubing in combination with high pressures generate significant shear and extensional forces in UHPLC systems, which may affect polymer chains. At high stress conditions flexible macromolecules may become extended and eventually the chemical bonds in the molecules can break. Deformation and degradation of macromolecules will affect the peak retention and the peak shape in the chromatogram, which may cause errors in the obtained results (e.g. the calculated molecular-weight distributions). In the present work we explored the limitations of UHPLC for the analysis of polymers. Degradation and deformation of macromolecules were studied by collecting and re-injecting polymer peaks and by off-line two-dimensional liquid chromatography. Polystyrene standards with molecular weight of 4 MDa and larger were found to degrade at UHPLC conditions. However, for most polymers degradation could be avoided by using low linear velocities. No degradation of 3-MDa PS (and smaller) was observed at linear velocities up to 7 mm/s. The column frits were implicated as the main sources of polymer degradation. The extent of degradation was found to depend on the type of the column and on the column history. At high flow rates degradation was observed without a column being installed. We demonstrated that polymer deformation preceded degradation. Stretched polymers eluted from the column in slalom chromatography mode (elution order opposite to that in SEC or HDC). Under certain conditions we observed co-elution of large and small PS molecules though a convolution of slalom chromatography and hydrodynamic chromatography.

Simultaneous analysis of several synthetic cannabinoids,THC, CBD and CBN,in hair by ultra‐high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Method validation and application to real samples

A simple procedure for the quantitative detection of JWH‐018, JWH‐073, JWH 200, JWH‐250, HU‐210, Δ⁹‐tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabinol (CBN) in hair has been developed and fully validated. After digestion with NaOH and liquid–liquid extraction, the separation was performed with an ultra‐high performance liquid chromatography system coupled to a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer operating in the selected reaction monitoring mode. The absence of matrix interferents, together with excellent repeatability of both retention times and relative abundances of diagnostic transitions, allowed the correct identification of all analytes tested. The method was linear in two different intervals at low and high concentration, with correlation coefficient values between 0.9933 and 0.9991. Quantitation limits ranged from 0.07 pg/mg for JWH‐200 up to 18 pg/mg for CBD The present method for the determination of several cannabinoids in hair proved to be simple, fast, specific and sensitive. The method was successfully applied to the analysis of 179 real samples collected from proven consumers of Cannabis, among which 14 were found positive to at least one synthetic cannabinoid.

Indirect detection in reversed-phase liquid chromatography: Ion-pair retention models for cations on polystyrene polymers

Summary The distribution equilibria of cationic compounds in reversed-phase chromatographic systems (ion-pair chromatography) have been studied on the basis of their effect on a detectable mobile phase component. The solid phase was a polystyrene-divinylbenzene copolymer and the detectable component, a quaternary ammonium ion, 1-methylpyridine. The solutes were mono- and divalent amines and quaternary ammonium ions. The cations can be retained by ion-pair adsorption and ion exchange. Expressions for the ion-pair retention of the solutes and the mobile phase cation (system peak) have been developed assuming Langmuir distribution of ion pairs to a solid phase with one kind of binding site. The validity of the expressions has been tested by evaluation of ion-pair distribution constants using non-linear curve fitting techniques. Good agreement for the constants of common ion pairs was obtained from different kinds of capacity ratio expressions. Ion exchange retention can appear beside ion-pair retention, and it has been observed in the pH range 1.6–6.1. The effect depends not only on cations in the mobile phase, but also on the nature of the buffering systems.

Two-dimensional liquid chromatography analysis of synthetic polymers using fast size exclusion chromatography at high column temperature

In recent years, two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) has been used increasingly for the analysis of synthetic polymers. A 2D-LC analysis provides richer information than a single chromatography analysis at the cost of longer analysis time. The time required for a comprehensive 2D-LC analysis is essentially proportional to the analysis time of the second dimension separation. Many of 2D-LC analyses of synthetic polymers have employed size exclusion chromatography (SEC) for the second-dimension analysis due to the relatively short analysis time in addition to the wide use in the polymer analysis. Nonetheless, short SEC columns are often used for 2D-LC analyses to reduce the separation time, which inevitably deteriorates the resolution. In this study, we demonstrated that high temperature SEC can be employed as an efficient second-LC in the 2D-LC separation of synthetic polymers. By virtue of high temperature operation (low solvent viscosity and high diffusivity of the polymer molecules), a normal length SEC column can be used at high flow rate with little loss in resolution.
