Retention behaviour of volatile compounds in normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography on a diol column
1993
Abstract Retention data on a diol column for over 300 compounds of the chemical classes usually contained in aroma extracts of plants and foodstuffs are reported. A concept that largely corrects for minor fluctuations of the mobile phase composition and of the flow-rate was used to measure capacity factors. The mobile phase was composed of pentane and diethyl ether. The high volatility of these two solvents makes the method perfectly adaptable to the prefractionation of aroma extracts and the semi-preparative isolation of compounds. Non-polar compounds such as hydrocarbons are not retained on diol. Polar compounds can be readily eluted, with the exception of strong acids and bases.
Connection between Absorption Properties and Conformational Changes in Deinococcus radiodurans Phytochrome
2014
Phytochromes consist of several protein domains and a linear tetrapyrrole molecule, which interact as a red-light-sensing system. In this study, size-exclusion chromatography and light-scattering techniques are combined with UV-vis spectroscopy to investigate light-induced changes in dimeric Deinococcus radiodurans bacterial phytochrome (DrBphP) and its subdomains. The photosensory unit (DrCBD-PHY) shows an unusually stable Pfr state with minimal dark reversion, whereas the histidine kinase (HK) domain facilitates dark reversion to the resting state. Size-exclusion chromatography reveals that all phytochrome fragments remain as dimers in the illuminated state and dark state. Still, the elut…
Chromatographic peak profile of ionogenic analytes upon elution with unbuffered eluents
1998
Experimental proof of the model was carried out for the separation of benzoic acid on a LiChrospher RP-18 column. The observed chromatographic peak profile coincides with the peak profile predicted by the model. The retention times of the dissociated and non-dissociated species determined by using an appropriate fitting procedure were 2.2 and 4.3 min, respectively. Based on these values, a theoretical peak profile was calculated, demonstrating a close agreement with the experimentally observed peak profile. An unexpectedly large difference was found for the retention times of the dissociated and non-dissociated species calculated by a fitting procedure and those experimentally measured on t…
Solution properties of polyelectrolytes
1993
Abstract Aqueous size-exclusion chromatography was used to analyse the elution behaviour of several standard ionic polymers, including poly( l -glutamic acid), sodium poly(styrene sulphonate) and poly(acrylic acid), different in nature and chain flexibility, as a function of the pH and ionic strength of the eluent. Two organic-based hydrophilic packings, Spherogel TSK PW4000 and Ultrahydrogel 250, were tested in order to select the optimal conditions of macromolecular separation, and the results obtained for each column were compared. A set of calibration graphs for the above polyions as a function of eluent pH and ionic strength were obtained and compared with those obtained for uncharged …
Influence of dissolved humic material and ionic strength on C8 extraction of pesticides from water
1995
A mixture of twelve intermediate polarity pesticides, mostly carbamate-type, have been chromatographied on an octadecyl-silica bonded-phase column using acetonitrile-water gradient mobile phase and UV detection. Pesticides were extracted from aqueous matrix by solid-phase extraction. The extraction system consisted of a glass microcolumn containing octyl-silica solidphase conditioned with methanol and water. The elution was by acetonitrile-dichloromethane (50:50). Studies of extraction factors like volume of sample, addition of 10% sodium chloride and presence of dissolved humic material are investigated.
Solution properties of polyelectrolytes XII. Semi-quantitative approach to mixed electrostatic and hydrophobic polymer-gel interactions
1996
Abstract Aqueous size-exclusion chromatography of polyanions, where secondary effects affect the total separation mechanism, was investigated. For elution of polyelectrolytes on inorganic silica-based supports, the electrostatic polymer-gel repulsive interactions were evaluated through the values for a hypothetical repulsion layer, X e , according to the model developed by other workers. Using a similar procedure, the existence of an effective barrier defined as X e − X h is proposed for those systems in which electrostatic repulsion and hydrophobic interactions take place simultaneously as secondary mechanisms. X h can be viewed as a measure of the “enlargement” of the geometrical pore rad…
Study of peak shape and efficiency in butyl acrylate-based monolithic columns for capillary electrochromatography.
2009
Abstract The study and modelling peak shape of in capillary electrochromatography (CEC), obtained using butyl acrylate (BA)-based monolithic columns, is described in this article. A modified-Gaussian model, which is a function of conventional experimental parameters: retention time (tR), peak height (H0) and standard deviation (σ0) at the peak maximum, and left (A) and right (B) halfwidths, was used to describe the peaks of thiourea and several polyaromatic hydrocarbons compounds, which were eluted under several applied voltages. A mean relative error below 2% in the prediction of peak shape is obtained. Based on peak parameters, an easy and reliable estimation of global chromatographic per…
Solution properties of polyelectrolytes
1991
Abstract Chromatographic data for sodium polystyrene sulphonate were obtained on both silica- and polymer-based size-exclusion supports using mobile phases of various pH and ionic strength. Deviations of the elution volume were observed towards both lower and higher values relative to the reference calibration graph obtained with uncharged standards. An empirical correlation is proposed in order to account for all the secondary effects observed. The general applicability of this correlation was further tested for chromatographic data obtained for a series of peptides and proteins on a silica-based support under very different eluent conditions. Deviations from ideal elution behaviour such a…
Application of a weakly basic dimethylamino-modified silica ion exchanger to the separation of oligonucleotides
1979
Abstract LiChrosorb RP-8, RP-18 and Diol as well as a newly synthesized basic dimethylamino-modified silica ion-exchanger (DMA-silica) were applied for the separation of adenylic acid, cytidylic acid and uridylic acid oligoribonucleotides. On LiChrosorb RP-8 and RP-18, respectively, in aqueous buffered eluents (K 2 HPO 4 - H 3 PO 4 ), the retention of oligonucleotides was increased with decreasing number of nucleotide units in the solute, i.e., with increasing hydrophobic character. The elution behaviour of ologonucleotides on LiChrosorb Diol followed the same order but took place according to a size-exclusion mechanism. The retention of oligonucleotides on DMA-silica is assumed to be based…
Simultaneous determination of C1−C8 n-alkyl acetates and corresponding mono-, di- and trichloroacetates on glass capillary columns with programmed te…
1982
Gas chromatography of mixtures of aliphaticn-alkyl acetates (CH3−COOR), chloroacetates (CHCl2−COOR), dichloroacetates (CHCl2−COOR) and trichloroacetates (CCl3−COOR), where the alcohol chain length (R) varied between 1 and 8, has been studied on SE-30, Carbowax 20M and OV-351 glass capillary columns with programmed temperatures from 50°C at 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10°C/min. Compounds in the homologous series are eluted in the direct order from methyl ton-octyl acetate. The isomeric chloro esters are eluted on SE-30 according to their boiling points in the order: mono-, di- and trichloro isomer, whereas on polar columns di- and trichloro esters are eluted in the reverse order. The complete separation …
