On-chip temperature gradient interaction chromatography

This paper reports the first integrated microelectromechanical system (MEMS) HPLC chip that consists of a parylene high-pressure LC column, an electrochemical sensor, a resistive heater and a thermal-isolation structure for on-chip temperature gradient interaction chromatography application. The separation column was 8 mm long, 100 microm wide, 25 microm high and was packed with 5 microm sized, C18-coated beads using conventional slurry-packing technique. A novel parylene-enhanced, air-gap thermal isolation technology was used to reduce heater power consumption by 58% and to reduce temperature rise in the off-column area by 67%. The fabricated chip consumed 400 mW when operated at 100 degrees C. To test the chromatography performance of the fabricated system, a mixture of derivatized amino acids was chosen for separation. A temporal temperature gradient scanning from 25 to 65 degrees C with a ramping rate of 3.6 degrees C/min was applied to the column during separation. Successful chromatographic separation of derivatized amino acids was carried out using our chip. Compared with conventional temperature gradient HPLC system which incorporates "macro oven" to generate temporal temperature gradient on the column, our chip's thermal performance, i.e., power consumption and thermal response, is greatly improved without sacrificing chromatography quality.     

Effect of temperature on enantiomer separation of oxzepam and lorazepam by high-performance liquid chromatography on a beta-cyclodextrin derivatized bonded chiral stationary phase

A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) derivatized as chiral stationary phase is used to directly separate oxazepam (Oxa) and lorazepam (Lor) enantiomers. The effect of temperature on the direct HPLC separation of Oxa and Lor enantiomers is studied for the commercially available beta-CD derivatized bonded chiral stationary phase. Chromatographic peak coalescence, appearing as a plateau between the resolved peaks, is observed at column temperatures of above 13 degrees C. Peak coalescence on the beta-CD derivatized bonded column is attributable to racemization of the Oxa enantiomer. By reducing the column temperature to 13 degrees C, the enantiomeric composition of Oxa and Lor could be determined on the chiral column. This method is expected to be useful for the resolution of 3-hydroxybenzodiazepines. At the same time, the separation mechanism is studied by calculating the thermodynamic parameters. The results reveal that the separation of Oxa and Lor enantiomer is a case of enthalpy-controlled separation, inclusion mechanism does not control the separation. The interaction between Oxa and beta-CD is an additionally strong pi-pi interaction or hydrogen bonding, but that between Lor or beta-CD derivatized is a weak pi-pi interaction or hydrogen bonding.     

替考拉宁键合手性固定相高效液相色谱法直接拆分泮托拉唑钠对映体

以替考拉宁为手性选择剂制备了大环抗生素类手性固定相替考拉宁键合手性固定相(T-CSP),建立了T-CSP反相液相色谱直接拆分泮托拉唑钠对映体的方法。考察了流动相中有机改性剂的种类和比例、柱温以及流动相流速对拆分泮托拉唑钠对映体的影响。研究发现,用甲醇作有机改性剂比乙腈更有利于对映体的分离;在研究的温度范围内,随着柱温的升高,对映体的保留时间缩短,同时分离因子和分离度降低;在一定范围内降低流速有利于对映体的分离。采用T-CSP色谱柱(150 mm×4.6 mm i.d.,5 μm),以甲醇-水(体积比为35∶65)为流动相,在流速0.6 mL/min、检测波长290 nm、柱温20 ℃的条件下,泮托拉唑钠对映体获得了近于基线的分离,所建立的方法具有简便快速及重复性好等优点。     

Improvement of the chromatographic separation of several 1,4-dihydropyridines calcium channel antagonist drugs by experimental design

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method with diode array detection has been developed and optimized for the separation of five calcium channel blockers belonging to the 1,4-dihydropyridine subgroup (nifedipine and related drugs). The possibility of the simultaneous drug analysis allows a decrease of time during the assay as well as a saving of reagents and solvents. In this work, the effect of four experimental parameters (organic modifier percentage, pH value, concentration of the buffer in the mobile phase, and column temperature) on the chromatographic resolution are investigated by experimental design in order to optimize the chromatographic separation of five 1,4-dihydropyridines (amlodipine, nitrendipine, felodipine, lacidipine, and lercanidipine). Fractional factorial design, central composite design, and finally the Multisimplex program are used to establish the optimal conditions in terms of resolution and minimum analysis time. Optimal separation of the five compounds under study is achieved in less than 12 min using a Sulpecosil LC-ABZ+Plus C18 column, a composition of mobile phase of acetonitrile-10mM acetic acid acetate buffer pH 5 (72:28, v/v) at a flow rate of 1 mL/min, a column temperature of 30 degrees C +/- 0.1 degrees C, and a detection wavelength of 238 nm.     

HPLC separation of triacylglycerol positional isomers on a polymeric ODS column

A polymeric ODS column was applied to the resolution of triacylglycerol positional isomers (TAG-PI), i.e. 1,3-dioleoyl-2-palmitoyl-glycerol (OPO) and 1,2-dioleoyl-3-palmitoyl-rac-glycerol (OOP), with a recycle HPLC system. To investigate the ODS column species and the column temperatures for the resolution of a TAG-PI pair, a mixture of OPO and OOP was subjected to an HPLC system equipped with a non-endcapped polymeric, endcapped monomeric, endcapped intermediate, or non-endcapped monomeric ODS column at three different column temperatures (40, 25, or 10 degrees C). Only the non-endcapped polymeric ODS column achieved the separation of OPO and OOP, and the lowest column temperature (10 degrees C) showed the best resolution for them. The other pair of TAG-PI, a mixture of 1,3-dipalmitoyl-2-oleoyl-glycerol (POP) and 1,2-dipalmitoyl-3-oleoyl-rac-glycerol (PPO) was also subjected to the system equipped with a non-endcapped polymeric or monomeric ODS column at five different column temperatures (40, 32, 25, 17, and 10 degrees C). Thus, POP and PPO were also separated on only the non-endcapped polymeric ODS column at 25 degrees C. However, no clear peak appeared at 10 degrees C. These results would indicate that the polymeric ODS stationary phase has an ability to recognize the structural differences between TAG-PI pairs. Also, the column temperature is a very important factor for separating the TAG-PI pair, and the optimal temperature would relate to the solubility of TAG-PI in the mobile phase. Furthermore, the recycle HPLC system provided measurements for the separation and analysis of TAG-PI pairs.     

Selectivity enhancement for trans-2-(2,3-anthracenedicarboximido)-cyclohexane-derived diastereomers in HPLC by using an ordered organic stationary phase.

2-(2,3-anthracenedicarboximido)cyclohexane derivatives (AC) have been known as the evolutionary diastereomerizing reagents for enantiomer discrimination in HPLC with ODS. However, a substantial separation of diastereomers can be observed only at lower temperatures, such as -40 degrees C. Therefore, in this work, poly(octadecyl acrylate)-grafted silica, ODAn was applied as an alternative stationary phase to ODS for the separation of AC-derived diastereomers. As a result, complete separation was achieved even under the conventional condition: for example, methanol as the mobile phase and 0 degrees C as the column temperature. An investigation on the temperature dependency of the selectivity demonstrated that ODAn shows a remarkable increase in selectivity at temperatures below 30 degrees C, which almost agreed with the peak-top temperature of the endothermic peak in a DSC thermogram for ODA35 immersed in a mobile phase. The better separation would be derived from a highly ordered structure of ODAn and a carbonyl-pi interaction with AC-derived diastereomers.     

Enantiomeric separation of amino acids and nonprotein amino acids using a particle-loaded monolithic column

A solution is prepared of 5 microm silica particles modified with (S)-N-3,5-dinitrobenzoyl-1-naphthylglycine (particle 1) or (S)-N-3,5-dinitrophenylaminocarbonyl-valine (particle 2) suspended in liquid tetraethylorthosilicate, ethanol, and aqueous hydrochloric acid. This solution is injected under pressure into a 30 cm long, 75 microm inner diameter capillary column and heated for 1 h at 120 degrees C after which the modified particles are embedded in a monolithic column of sol gel. The packed column measures approximately 15 cm from the inlet to the window used to view the laser-induced fluorescence. Thirteen different amino acids and three nonprotein amino acids are derivatized with the fluorogenic reagent 4-fluoro-7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-F) before injection onto the column for capillary electrochromatographic separation. The enantiomeric separation of the monolithic column packed with particle 1 results in a resolution ranging from 1.14 to 4.45, whereas that packed with particle 2 results in a resolution ranging from 0.79 to 1.17. On the basis of resolution and amount of chiral packing material the enantiomeric separation obtained by capillary electrochromatography is judged to be superior to that obtained previously with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).     

Measurement of the axial and radial temperature profiles of a chromatographic column. Influence of thermal insulation on column efficiency

The temperatures of the metal wall along a chromatographic column (longitudinal temperature gradients) and of the liquid phase across the outlet section of the column (radial temperature gradients) were measured at different flow rates with the same chromatographic column (250 mm x 4.6 mm). The column was packed with 5 microm C18-bonded silica particles. The measurements were carried out with surface and immersion thermocouples (all junction Type T, +/-0.1 K) that measure the local temperature. The column was either left in a still-air bath (ambient temperature, T(ext) = 295-296 K) or insulated in a packing foam to avoid air convection around its surface. The temperature profiles were measured at several values of the inlet pressure (approximately = 100, 200, 300 and 350 bar) and with two mobile phases, pure methanol and a 2.5:97.5 (v/v, %) methanol:water solution. The experimental results show that the longitudinal temperature gradients never exceeded 8 K for a pressure drop of 350 bars. In the presence of the insulating foam, the longitudinal temperature gradients become quasi-linear and the column temperature increases by +1 and +3 K with a water-rich (heat conductivity approximately = 0.6 W/m/K) and pure methanol (heat conductivity approximately = 0.2 W/m/K), respectively. The radial temperature gradients are maximum with methanol (+1.5 K at 290 bar inlet pressure) and minimum with water (+0.8 K at 290 bar), as predicted by the solution of the heat transfer balance in a chromatographic column. The profile remains parabolic all along the column. Combining the results of these measurements (determination of the boundary conditions on the wall, at column inlet and at column outlet) with calculations using a realistic model of heat dispersion in a porous medium, the temperature inside the column could be assessed for any radial and axial position.     

Development and optimization of an HPLC analysis of citalopram and its four nonchiral impurities using experimental design methodology

In this study, the RP-HPLC method was investigated for the separation of citalopram and its four impurities by use of statistical experimental design. Initially, the influence of different experimental conditions (buffer pH, flow rate, and column temperature) on the chromatographic behavior of citalopram and its four impurities was investigated by use of partial least squares regression (PLSR) and multilayer perceptron (MLP) artificial neural networks (ANNs) trained by back-propagation. The developed models and the corresponding response surface plots were used to select the optimal HPLC conditions, buffer pH 7.0, flow rate 1.0 mL/ min, and column temperature 25 degrees C, for an efficient separation of citalopram and its four impurities. The elaborated HPLC method was found to be linear, specific, sensitive, precise, accurate, and robust. Retention times of citalopram and its impurities, obtained with the developed HPLC method, and the computed molecular parameters of the examined compounds were used in a quantitative structure retention relationship (QSRR) study. The PLSR and ANN algorithms were applied for the development of the QSRR methods. The MLP-two layers-ANN-QSRR model with root mean square error of prediction 0.105 and r(2) (observed versus predicted) 0.978 was selected. Since many different reaction conditions are applied for the synthesis of citalopram, different impurities and degradation products can be formed. Therefore, the developed QSRR model can be extended to the prediction of the retention times with the other citalopram impurities, degradation products, and metabolites.     

Gas and liquid chromatography of metal chelates of pentamethylene dithiocarbamate

Capillary GC and HPLC of metal chelates of pentamethylene dithiocarbamate were examined. Copper(II), nickel(II), cobalt(III), iron(III), manganese(II) and chromium(III) chelates formed in slightly acidic media (pH 5) were extracted in methyl isobutyl ketone or chloroform. Capillary GC elution and separation was carried out on methylsilicone DB-1 column (25 m x 0.2 mm I.D.) with film thickness 0.25 microm. Electron-capture detection was used. Elution was carried at initial column temperature 200 degrees C with an increment at a rate of 5 degrees C/min up to 250 degrees C and maximum temperature was maintained for 10 min. Symmetrical peaks with baseline separation were obtained with the metal chelates investigated with linear calibration range between 5 and 25 microg/ml for each metal ion and detection limits in the range of 0.5-6.0 microg/ml corresponding to 27-333 pg of metal ion reaching to the detector. HPLC separation was carried out from LiChrosorb ODS, 5 microm column and complexes eluted with methanol-water-1 mM sodium acetate (70:28:2, v/v) with a flow-rate of 1.2 ml/ml. UV detection was at 260 nm. The detection limits obtained were in the range 2-6 microg/ml. The methods were applied to the determination of metal ions in canal water and coal samples with RSD values within 4.15%. The results when compared with a standard flame atomic absorption spectrophotometric method and revealed no significant difference.     

A Simple Design to Realize Micro-column Separation by Conventional Analytical HPLC

The conventional analytical HPLC was successfully developed for micro‐column separation by using a simple eluate splitting system, self‐preparation of packing column and on‐capillary column detector in our laboratory. Porous inlet frit in fused silica capillary was rapidly prepared by sintering stainless steel powders under 500 meshes for about 20 s. The use of such frits or metal meshes in capillary to retain C₁₈ particles of chromatographic packing was demonstrated to be stable and specially robust with continuous packing and long chromatographic runs. Furthermore, the chromatographic behavior was detailedly evaluated by changing the flow rate and the percentage of mobile phase using the prepared capillary column. Under the optimal experimental conditions, baseline separation of the model analytes including thiourea, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene was obtained with a high column efficiency near 70000N (plates/m) by the developed capillary‐HPLC.

High throughput liquid chromatography with sub-2 microm particles at high pressure and high temperature

In this study, ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) using pressures up to 1,000 bar and columns packed with sub-2 microm particles has been combined with high temperature mobile phase conditions (up to 90 degrees C). By using high temperature ultra performance liquid chromatography (HT-UPLC), it is possible to drastically decrease the analysis time without loss in efficiency. The stability and chromatographic behavior of sub-2 microm particles were evaluated at high temperature and high pressure. The chromatographic support remained stable after 500 injections (equivalent to 7,500 column volumes) and plate height curves demonstrated the capability of HT-UPLC to obtain fast separations. For example, a separation of nine doping agents was performed in less than 1 min with sub-2 microm particles at 90 degrees C. Furthermore, a shorter column (30 mm length) was used and allowed a separation of eight pharmaceutical compounds in only 40s.     

Temperature gradients in HPLC columns due to viscous heat dissipation

Summary Temperature effects in HPLC columns due to viscous heat dissipation are examined. For the case when the thermostatted column wall and mobile phase at the column inlet are at the same temperature an explicit solution of the heat transport equation is given. The predicted temperature profile is parabolic at large distances from the column entrance; the magnitude of the effect is proportional to the square of the mobile phase velocity, and is of the order of a few degrees centigrade. At the upper end of the column a relaxation occurs over a length of a few centimers. Experimental results confirm the validity of the predictions made and indicate that the various assumptions and approximations are justified. Plate height curves obtained with two mobile phases with differing viscosities show a much smaller efficiency for the less viscous mobile phase. The curves show an upward curvature at high reduced velocities. Both phenomena can be related to thermal effects. It is concluded that viscous heat dissipation constitutes an obstacle to obtaining higher speed and efficiency in HPLC by the use of smaller particles. Possible remedies, such as the use of smaller bore columns or special thermostatting devices, look troublesome from the experimental point of view.

Optimizing the gas chromatographic separation and detection of polychlorinated biphenyls by use of electronic pressure programming and experimental design

The applicability of electronic pressure control and Taguchi L₂₇ experimental design to the optimization of the gas chromatographic separation and detection of polychlorinated biphenyls has been evaluated. The influence of several experimental variables, column temperature program, carrier gas pressure program, on-column injector temperature program, and make-up gas pressure program, was studied using analysis of variance. Simultaneous optimization of sample introduction, column efficiency, and detector performance could be achieved without compromising system performance. The relationships between system performance and experimental variables were established using regression analysis. Agreement between the simulated and experimental results obtained using suggested optimum conditions demonstrated the applicability of the technique developed in this study. The improvement achieved in the chromatographic separation of PCBs is presented.
