On-Line Derivatization into Precolumns for the Determination of Drugs by Liquid Chromatography and Column Switching: Determination of Amphetamines i…
1996
A chromatographic system for the on-line derivatization of drugs using column switching is described. The system uses a 20 mm × 2.1 mm i.d. precolumn packed with a unmodified ODS stationary phase. This column is used for sample cleanup and enrichment of the analytes. Next, the trapped analytes are derivatized by injection of the derivatization reagent into the precolumn. Finally, the derivatives are transferred to the analytical column for their separation under reversed-phase conditions. The influence of several parameters such as the reaction time, the amount of derivatization reagent, or the system design has been studied using some amphetamines as model compounds and three derivatizatio…
Procedure for automated background correction in flow systems with infrared spectroscopic detection and changing liquid-phase composition
2009
This paper describes a partial least squares (PLS) based automatic procedure to correct for changes in the spectral contribution of the solvent or solvent mixtures from solute spectra recorded in these solvents. The procedure was developed for successful on-line Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) detection in gradient high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separations. It requires a reference FT-IR data set containing all possible combinations of the expected variation in solvent composition. Furthermore, a spectral region ( A) in these spectra is required where the solvents show absorption but the analytes do not. This is the case for the system ACN:H2O, an often-applied solvent mi…
Column-switching techniques for high-performance liquid chromatography of drugs in biological samples.
1993
In recent years, an increasing number of publications have demonstrated the potential of column-switching techniques for the chromatographic separation, determination and preparative isolation of analytes from biological matrices. Column-switching systems greatly facilitate drug analysis, by on-line sample clean-up and trace enrichment, or by improving the analytical separative process. In this paper, the main applications of column-switching techniques to drug analysis in biological samples, are reviewed.
Comparison of the solid-phase extraction efficiency of a bounded and an included cyclodextrin-silica microporous composite for polycyclic aromatic hy…
2016
Solid-phase extraction is one of the most important techniques for sample purification and concentration. A wide variety of solid phases have been used for sample preparation over time. In this work, the efficiency of a new kind of solid-phase extraction adsorbent, which is a microporous material made from modified cyclodextrin bounded to a silica network, is evaluated through an analytical method which combines solid-phase extraction with high-performance liquid chromatography to determine polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in water samples. Several parameters that affected the analytes recovery, such as the amount of solid phase, the nature and volume of the eluent or the sample volume and …
Ultra high performance liquid chromatography-time-of-flight high resolution mass spectrometry in the analysis of hexabromocyclododecane diastereomers…
2014
An efficient ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC)-time-of-flight high resolution mass spectrometry (TOF-HRMS) method was elaborated for the determination of hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) diastereomers in fish samples and compared against UHPLC-Orbitrap-HRMS and UHPLC-triple quadrupole (QqQ) tandem MS (MS/MS) techniques. The TOF-HRMS analyzer was operated at high resolution (>10000 full width at half maximum (FWHM)) with scanning the m/z range from 600 to 700, to achieve picogram quantitation limits. The effects of various operational parameters on the instrumental response were systematically investigated. Evaluation of the influence of sample clean-up procedure steps on sig…
Novel porous carbon packings in reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography
1980
Abstract Porous carbon packings of particle size 5–20 μm were prepared by calcination of purified active carbons and cokes having narrow size ranges. Highly efficient columns packed with 10-μm particles were obtained by means of the high-viscosity slurry technique, and exhibited about 3000 theoretical plates at 100 mm length and optimal eluent flow-rate. The loading of columns, θ0.1, was determined to be 25–50 μg of solute per gram of packing. Eluotropic series of solvents were found to be similar to those on pyrocarbon-modified carbons and silicas. The log k′ values for homologous compounds increased linearly with the hydrocarbonaceous surface area at constant eluent composition. Studies w…
Micellar Liquid Chromatography: Fundamentals
2015
The reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) mode with surfactant above the critical micellar concentration (CMC) has been called micellar liquid chromatography (MLC). In pure micellar systems, the retention behavior is explained by considering three phases or environments: surfactant-modified stationary phase, bulk aqueous solvent, and micellar pseudo-phase. Surfactant adsorption on the porous RPLC packing affects chromatographic retention, owing to the change of diverse surface properties of the stationary phase. In pure micellar systems, the retention behavior is explained by considering three phases or environments: surfactant-modified stationary phase, bulk aqueous solvent, and mice…
Determination of alkylamines in atmospheric aerosol particles: a comparison of gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and ion chromatography approaches
2014
Abstract. In recent years low molecular weight alkylamines have been recognized to play an important role in particle formation and growth in the lower atmosphere. However, major uncertainties are associated with their atmospheric processes, sources and sinks, mostly due to the lack of ambient measurements and the difficulties in accurate quantification of alkylamines at trace level. In this study, we present the evaluation and optimization of two analytical approaches, i.e., gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and ion chromatography (IC), for the determination of alkylamines in aerosol particles. Alkylamines were converted to carbamates through derivatization with isobutyl chlorof…
Solution versus Fluorous versus Solid-Phase Synthesis of 2,5-Disubstituted 1,3-Azoles. Preliminary Antibacterial Activity Studies
2009
A small library of compounds with an oxa(thia)zole scaffold and structural diversity in both positions 2 and 5 has been synthesized. Double acylation of a protected glycine affords intermediate α-amido-β-ketoesters, which in turn can be dehydrated to afford 1,3-oxazoles or reacted with Lawesson’s reagent to furnish 1,3-thiazoles. This procedure was designed with its adaptation to fluorous techniques in mind. Thus, when a protected glycine with a fluorous tag in the ester moiety is used as a starting material, the synthesis can be easily completed without column chromatography purification of intermediate compounds with good to excellent yields, thus affording a suitable entry to the prepara…
4-hydroxy-ONN-azoxybenzene
2000
The oxidation of 4-hydroxyazobenzene provided a mixture of two azoxy compounds, which were separated by column chromatography. The isomer with the higher melting point appeared to belong to the α (ONN) series, as determined by X-ray diffraction. The molecule, C12H10N2O2, is almost planar. The benzene rings are twisted by 11.7 (2) (substituted) and 4.1 (1)° (unsubstituted) with respect to the ONN plane. The molecules are connected to one another by strong O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds forming chains extended along [001], which are bound by much weaker C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds forming layers in the bc plane.
