Multi-location peak parking method: an important new tool for the study of mass transfer kinetics in liquid chromatography

The peak parking (PP) method probes the longitudinal diffusion coefficient of a compound at a single location along the chromatographic column. We extended to a so-called multi-location peak parking (MLPP) method, in which a large number of axial locations along the column are selected in order to check the validity of the conventional PP method and to reveal possible defaults in the structure of the packed bed or pitfalls of the PP and the MLPP methods. MLPP was applied to a series of HILIC columns, including a 5.0 μm Venusil, a 3.0 μm Luna-diol, three 2.7 μm Halo, and a 1.7 μm Kinetex columns. The results demonstrate that the MLPP method may reveal local heterogeneities in the axial diffusion of small retained low molecular weight compounds along the column. Most importantly, experiments show that the sample zone should not be parked in the entrance of the column (i.e., at <1/10 th of the column length). The abrupt drop in the flow rate considerably affects the peak shape and prevents scientists from using the conventional PP method. Practical solutions to cope with that problem are proposed and their success/failure are discussed.

Electrochemical Determination of Synephrine by Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography Using a Zwitterionic Monolith Column

A sensitive method for the electrochemical determination of synephrine (SYN) by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) has been developed. Optimal chromatographic separation and high sensitive determination by HILIC with electrochemical detection (HILIC‐ECD) was achieved using a sulfobetaine‐type zwitterionic monolith column (100×1.02 mm, i.d.), a mixture of 10 mM sodium phosphate (pH 4) and acetonitrile (20 : 80, v/v) as mobile phase, and a glassy carbon working electrode which was applied with a potential at +1.0 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The chromatographic peak height of SYN was proportional to the concentration from 5.0 µg/L to 1.0 mg/L (r=0.999). The detection limit of SYN (S/N=3) was 3.7 pg on the column. Moreover, the present HILIC‐ECD could be applied to the accurate and precise determination of SYN in Aurantii nobilis Pericarpium. In conclusion, we have demonstrated that an ECD is one of useful detection methods applicable to HILIC.     

Orthogonal method development using hydrophilic interaction chromatography and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography for the determination of pharmaceuticals and impurities

A hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) method has been developed and validated as a secondary or orthogonal method complementary to a reversed-phase HPLC (RP-HPLC) method for quantitation of a polar active pharmaceutical ingredient and its three degradation products. The HILIC method uses a diol column and a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile/water and ammonium chloride. The compounds of interest show significant differences in retention behaviors with the two very different chromatographic systems, which are desired in developing orthogonal methods. The HILIC method is validated and has met all validation acceptance criteria for the support of drug development activities.     

Comparison of reversed-phase,anion-exchange,and hydrophilic interaction HPLC for the analysis of nucleotides involved in biological enzymatic pathways

Nucleotides and other phosphate-containing compounds are integral to enzymatic reactions such as those of the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway and glycolysis. Traditional chromatographic analysis of phosphates is often plagued by long run times and/or lack of MS compatibility. This study compares separation of five enzymatically-important nucleotides using ion-pair reversed phase (IP-RP), strong anion exchange (SAX), and hydrophilic interaction (HILIC) methods. These three methods were evaluated and compared based on separation parameters describing retention, resolution, efficiency, peak symmetry, selectivity, and inter- and intraday peak drift. Use of the FructoShell-N HILIC column led to separation of the five nucleotides isocratically with the shortest run time of all three methods tested. Additionally, the FructoShell HILIC method yielded a very low intraday variability and low peak asymmetry, issues that are often observed with HILIC separations on other stationary phases. To our knowledge, this column has not been applied to the separation of phosphates in biological samples and future work will focus on in vitro and in vivo analysis as well as broadening the applicability to other pathways. To this end, we have shown that the column will retain fructose bisphosphate, the substrate of the aldolase enzyme, under the same chromatographic conditions used for nucleotides.     

Application of at-line two-dimensional liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry for identification of small hydrophilic angiotensin I-inhibiting peptides in milk hydrolysates

A two-dimensional chromatographic method with mass spectrometric detection has been developed for identification of small, hydrophilic angiotensin I-inhibiting peptides in enzymatically hydrolysed milk proteins. The method involves the further separation of the poorly retained hydrophilic fraction from a standard C₁₈ reversed-phase column on a hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) column. The latter column is specifically designed for the separation of hydrophilic compounds. Narrow fractions collected from the HILIC column were analysed for their angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibiting potential in an at-line assay. Fractions showing significant inhibition of ACE were analysed by LC–MS for structure elucidation. With this method the main peptides responsible for ACE-inhibition in the hydrophilic part of a milk hydrolysate could be determined. The ACE-inhibiting peptides RP, AP, VK, EK, and EW explained more than 85% of ACE-inhibition by the hydrophilic fraction.     

Two-dimensional liquid chromatography normal-phase and reversed-phase separation of (co)oligomers

Many samples contain compounds with various numbers of two or more regular structural groups. Such "multidimensional" samples (according to the Giddings' notation) are best separated in orthogonal chromatographic systems with different selectivities for the individual repeat structural groups, described by separation factors. Correlations between the repeat group selectivities characterize the degree of orthogonality and suitability of chromatographic systems for two-dimensional (2D) separations of two-dimensional samples. The range of the structural units in that can be resolved in a given time can be predicted on the basis of a model describing the repeat group selectivity in the first- and second-dimension systems. Two-dimensional liquid chromatographic system combining reversed-phase (RP) mode in the first dimension and normal-phase (NP) mode in the second dimension were studied with respect to the possibilities of in-line fraction transfer between the two modes. Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) with an aminopropyl silica column (APS) is more resistant than classical non-aqueous NP systems against adsorbent desactivation with aqueous solvents transferred in the fractions from the first, RP dimension to the second dimension. Hence, HILIC is useful as a second-dimension separation system for comprehensive RP-NP LCxLC. A comprehensive 2D RP-NP HPLC method was developed for comprehensive 2D separation of ethylene oxide-propylene oxide (EO-PO) (co)oligomers. The first-dimension RP system employed a 120 min gradient of acetonitrile in water on a C18 microbore column at the flow-rate of 10 microL/min. In the second dimension, isocratic HILIC NP with ethanol-dichloromethane-water mobile phase on an aminopropyl silica column at 0.5 mL/min was used. Ten microliter fractions were transferred from the RP to the HILIC NP system at 1 min switching valve cycle frequency.     

Determination of isoascorbic acid in fish tissue by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography–ultraviolet detection

A new hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatographic (HILIC) method for the simultaneous determination of isoascorbic (IAA) and ascorbic acid (AA) was developed. The separation of IAA and AA was studied in various HILIC stationary phases and the influence of the composition of the mobile phase, the ionic strength and the column temperature to the chromatographic characteristics is presented. The final method used an aminopropyl column under isocratic elution with acetonitrile–100 mM ammonium acetate solution (90:10, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min and a detection wavelength of 240 nm. This method was validated and the calibration curves were found to be linear in the range of 1.0–65 μg/mL for both IAA and AA. The method limit of detection for IAA determination in fish tissue was 2.3 μg/g. Inter-day precision (as %RSD_R) was ranged between 0.56% and 8.3% at three concentration levels, whereas the respected recoveries ranged between 82% and 98%. This method was applied to the determination of IAA (as additive E315) in frozen redfish samples. The hyphenation of the HILIC separation with a tandem mass spectrometer was also studied and the problems encountered with negative electrospray ionization under HILIC separation conditions are discussed.     

Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography method for the determination of ascorbic acid

Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) method using internal standard for the determination and stability study of ascorbic acid was developed. HILIC method was very fast and simple using the following analytical conditions: ZIC HILIC (150 x 2.1 mm, 3.5 microm) chromatographic column and mobile phase composed of ACN and 50 mM ammonium acetate buffer pH 6.8 (78:22 v/v). Diode array detection was performed and chromatograms were processed at 268 nm, the maximum wavelength of absorbance of ascorbic acid. An extensive stability study of ascorbic acid as a function of various factors including temperature, stabilizing agents, oxygen presence and its concentration in solution was performed in order to gain information about the quantitative influence of individual stability factors. Low temperature and stabilizing agents (o-phosphoric acid and oxalic acid) were found to be key factors enabling substantial enhancement of the stability of ascorbic acid.     

A reversed-phase/hydrophilic interaction mixed-mode C18-Diol stationary phase for multiple applications

A mixed-mode chromatographic packing material, C18 and diol groups modified silica (C18-Diol), was prepared with controllable hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity. It demonstrated excellent aqueous compatibility and stability in aqueous mobile phase; compared to the traditional C18 column, improved peak shape of basic analytes was also obtained. Additionally, it exhibited both reversed-phase liquid chromatographic (RPLC) and hydrophilic interaction chromatographic (HILIC) performance; the analyte separation scope was thus enlarged, demonstrated by simultaneous separation of twenty acids, bases and neutrals. More interestingly, a novel on-line two-dimensional liquid chromatography on the single column (2D-LC-1C) was established by modifying the high performance liquid chromatographic instrument only with the addition of an extra six-port two-position valve. The early co-eluted components of the extract of Lonicera japonica on the 1st-dimension (RPLC) were collected for the online re-injection to the 2nd-dimension (HILIC) by conveniently varying the mobile phase components. Six more peaks were obtained. The established system was simple, easy operation and low cost, which had advantages in analyzing complicated samples.
