Abstract: | Mixed mode stationary phases utilize secondary retention mechanisms to add a dimensionality to the surface of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) adsorbents. This approach was used by several authors to improve the separation performance of single dimension separations. We explored the magnitude of these secondary interactions by performing an off-line two-dimensional (2D)-HPLC separation with a Scherzo SM-C18 column of a β-lactoglobulin tryptic digest with a mobile phase pH of 7 in the first dimension and 2 in the second. Mechanism divergence was determined using the peak capacity and a geometric approach to factor analysis, to measure the correlation. This separation was repeated with a C18 stationary phase as a control. It was found that the C18 column had a correlation coefficient of 0.784, smaller than the mixed mode column, 0.884. This indicated that the retention mechanisms of the C18 column were more divergent under these two pH environments than the mixed mode column. However, the SM-C18 still provided alternative selectivity of the peptides to that of the C18 and could be considered as a good alternative for further 2D-HPLC separations. |
