description

A simple model is proposed that relates the parameters describing the peak width with the retention time, which can be easily predicted as a function of mobile phase composition. This allows the further prediction of peak shape with global errors below 5%, using a modified Gaussian model with a parabolic variance. The model is useful in the optimisation of chromatographic resolution to assess an eventual overlapping of close peaks. The dependence of peak shape with mobile phase composition was studied for mobile phases containing acetonitrile in the presence and absence of micellised surfactant (micellar-organic and hydro-organic reversed-phase liquid chromatography, RPLC). In micellar RPLC, both modifiers (surfactant and acetonitrile) were observed to decrease or improve the efficiencies in the same percentage, at least in the studied concentration ranges. The study also revealed that the problem of achieving smaller efficiencies in this chromatographic mode, compared to hydro-organic RPLC, is not only related to the presence of surfactant covering the stationary phase, but also to the smaller concentration of organic solvent in the mobile phase.
