Wide-bore monolithic column for electrochromatography

A new wide-bore electrophoresis (WE) system adopting an inner cooling device was set up to perform electrochromatography. In this system, a quartz tube of 1.2 mm inner diameter was used as the separation channel. The Joule heat generated during electrophoresis was removed timely through the outer surface of the quartz tube and a cooling capillary inserted into the quartz tube. A proper coolant passed through the cooling capillary to further improve the cooling efficiency. In the primary research, a polyacrylamide monolithic column was successfully prepared in this quartz tube. Then it was evaluated in the electrochromatographic mode. An electric field strength as high as 625 V/cm can be applied to this system without obvious deviation of the current from the linear curve of the Ohm plot. Sample volume as high as 1 microL was injected into the WE system and reasonable efficiency was obtained for separation of the test compounds.

Interface for coupling nonaqueous wide-bore capillary electrophoresis with mass spectrometry

A liquid-junction-type interface where a thin spraying capillary is inserted inside the separation capillary was constructed for coupling nonaqueous wide-bore capillary electrophoresis (CE) to mass spectrometry (MS). The robust structure of the interface provided fairly easy capillary handling. The study was carried out with uncoated CE capillaries of 200 and 320 microm inner diameter (ID). 1-Propanol-acetonitrile (80:20 v/v) with acetate electrolyte provided a low conducting medium for CE and good spraying conditions for electrospray ionization (ESI) without sheath-flow and drying gas. Methamphetamine, alprenolol, and levorphanol served as model compounds. Approximate detection limits with the 200 microm ID capillary were 35-265 ng/mL.     

Compensation of the siphoning effect in nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis by vial lifting

Increasing the sample load in nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis through the use of wide-bore capillaries is a good way to scale up analytical separations to semipreparative level. However, obtaining high efficiency requires the use of special instrumentation to eliminate siphoning. When wide-bore capillaries are employed, relatively large solvent volumes are transported from inlet to outlet vial, and due to the difference in liquid levels a siphoning flow from outlet to inlet is established. Siphoning induces a deviation from the plug-like flow profile and adversely affects the separation efficiency. In this study the use of wide-bore capillaries in nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis was examined with compensation for siphoning by lifting of the inlet vial. The inlet vial is raised at a speed appropriate for maintaining equal levels of liquid in the inlet and outlet vials. The optimal lift rate was determined empirically from a series of runs in which the lift rate was varied. As well, a simple theoretical model was devised for the calculation of lift rates. The model was successfully applied for the 200 microm and 320 microm ID capillaries but for the 530 microm ID capillary the predicted optimal lift rate was too low. Evidently this was because the theory was unable to account for the effect of siphoning on the migration times. Three model compounds, bumetanide, furosemide and ethacrynic acid, were separated using an acetonitrile-ethanol mixture (50:50, v/v) with potassium acetate (1 mM) or ammonium acetate (5 mM) as electrolyte. Good separation of bumetadine and ethacrynic acid was obtained even with a 530 microm ID capillary when the lift rate was carefully optimized. Without elimination of siphoning the peaks would not have been detectable. The viscosities and electrical conductivities of the electrolyte solution measured at different temperatures showed that viscosity as well as conductivity decreased with increasing temperature. The temperature dependence of the conductivity was used to estimate the temperature inside the CE capillary.

Towards the ultimate minimum particle diameter of silica packings in capillary electrochromatography

Porous silica beads with an average particle diameter between 0.2 and 3 microm have been applied as packing material in capillary electrochromatography (CEC). The experiments were directed to investigate whether it is really feasible and as promising as expected to use such small particles. In CEC, plate heights of H approximately/= 1-2 d(p) can be achieved which is smaller than the plate heights usually attained in high-performance liquid chromatography. Using a capillary packed with 0.5 microm silica beads we achieved a plate height of H = 3 d(p) indicating the presence of dispersive effects like Joule heating. Calculations demonstrate that at a field strength of about 800 V cm(-1) one third of the plate height can be lost by Joule heating effects if the heat is not removed by a cooling system. Additionally, the H(u) curve is still descending at the maximum electroosmotic flow (EOF) velocity we generated with the modified capillary electrophoresis instrument. To fully exploit the potential of submicron size silicas higher field strengths, i.e., higher EOF velocities, must be attained. To study the influence of the kind of packing on the EOF porous as well as nonporous silicas have been applied. The experiments clearly indicate that the EOF of porous and nonporous silicas is the same. Since the EOF is more or less exclusively generated by the packing material the zeta potential of n-octyl bonded 0.5 microm silica has been determined. The dependence of the zeta potential on the pH is identical to the dependence of the EOF on the pH in a packed capillary. The point of zero charge of the silica is at pH 2-3.

Multi-element simplex optimization for inductively-coupled plasma/atomic emission spectrometry with a plasma torch having a wide-bore injector tube : Part 1. Conditions for Optimum Detection Limit

An objective function, based on signal-to-background ratio measurements, with a variable step-size simplex procedure is used to optimize conditions for multi-element determinations by inductively-coupled plasma/atomic emission spectrometry. When a typical 10-elements solution was used, the optimization produced small but significant improvements in limits of detection. The ease with which optimal multi-element instrumental conditions were identified is attributed to the compact analytical zone of the plasma produced when a wide-bore (2 mm i.d.) injector tube is used.     

Micro-magnetic particles frit for capillary electrochromatography

This paper presents a new method for making frit using soft-ferrite-based micro-magnetic particles (MMPs) in a micro-space, such as in a capillary tube. The MMPs-frit was made by injecting an aliquot of 10 microm (outer diameter; o.d.)-MMPs-suspension in methanol (ca. 1mg/ml) into a capillary tube (75 microm inner diameter (i.d.) x 375 microm o.d. x ca. 35 cm length) that was already sandwiched between a pair of cylindrical Neodium (Nd-Fe-B) magnets (1.5 mm o.d. x 1.5 mm height, 280 mT) at a position where the frit was made. The MMPs were trapped in the capillary tube as a frit due to the attraction of the magnets placed at surface on the capillary tube. With regard to durability, the frit was stable for methanol flow with a flow rate of 400 microl/min at room temperature. Using such a frit, a capillary column (20 cm long) was prepared by injecting a 5 microm (o.d.)-ODS-particle suspension in methanol (ca. 0.4 mg/microl) into the capillary tube. The MMPs-frits-ODS-packed column was stable for methanol for a flow pressure less than 20MPa. When comparing the present column with a conventional sintered-frits-ODS-packed column for the purposes of separating five kinds of biogenic amines by means of an on-column derivatization capillary electrochromatography (CEC), the performance of the MMPs-frits capillary column was almost equivalent to that of the sintered-frits-ODS-packed column.     

Alcohols and wide-bore capillaries in nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis.

The feasibility of using C1-C5 alcohols as electrolyte solutions in nonaqueous capillary zone electrophoresis was investigated. The separation of basic narcotic analgesics and acidic diuretics was modified by changing the alcohol in an electrolyte solution containing alcohol-acetonitrile-acetic acid (50:49:1, v/v) and 20 mM ammonium acetate while other experimental conditions were kept constant. The alcohols studied were methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, and 1-pentanol. The results indicate that even longer-chain alcohols can be used in nonaqueous capillary zone electrophoresis and, because of the lower currents they allow, they are especially advantageous in wider capillaries. Basic analytes were separated in 200 microm and 320 microm ID capillaries with 1-butanol-acetonitrile-acetic acid (50:49:1, v/v) containing 20 mM ammonium acetate as electrolyte solution. Problems related to the use of wide-bore capillaries are discussed.     

Microelectrospray interface with coaxial sheath flow for high-resolution capillary electrophoresis/mass spectrometry separation

We have fabricated a coaxial sheath liquid flow microelectrospray ionization (microESI) interface for capillary electrophoresis coupled with mass spectrometry (CE/MS). The ESI interface, which features a reduced probe diameter (130 microm i.d. x 174 microm o.d.) with a nebulizer-free format, can relatively easily electrospray a large amount of make-up sheath liquid (5-10 microL/min) over the long term (more than 80 runs) with a high degree of stability. The interface also provides higher separation qualities and improved detection sensitivities compared with a conventional ion spray (IS) interface.

Pressure-adjusted continual flow heart-cutting for the high throughput determination of amphetamine-type stimulant drugs in whole blood by fast multidimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

Innovative features and technical improvements in modern bench-top quadrupole gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) have prepared the way for faster and more cost-effective applications while still maintaining sufficient chromatographic resolution, speed of MS data acquisition and reliability of analytical methodology. In this paper, a short wide-bore capillary column with low film thickness (5 m x 0.32 mm i.d., 0.1 microm) was used a pre-fractionating column and only chosen heart-cuts were transferred to the second chromatographic dimension (15 m x 0.25 mm i.d., 0.25 microm) by means of a pressure-adjusted continual flow type switching device for quantification of five common amphetamine-type stimulant drugs. The instrumental setting used, in combination with carefully optimized operational fast GC and MS parameters, markedly decreased the retention times of the targeted analytes, e.g., amphetamine 0.891 min and methamphetamine 1.037 min, and the total chromatographic runtime (1.700 min), as well as reducing the need for continuous cleaning of the MS ion source and increasing column life compared with conventional GC-MS approaches. The performance of the instrumental configuration and analytical method was evaluated in validation experiments and the method was also applied to authentic samples. The method demonstrates the potential of fast GC-MS in combination with a gas-phase microfluidic Deans switch device for analysing of (semi)volatile compounds, such as amphetamine-type stimulant (ATS) drugs. This should be particularly useful in modern laboratories aiming at cost-efficient analysis as well as the optimum use of available laboratory capacity and instrumentation.
