Solid-Phase Extraction Techniques for Assay of Diuretics in Human Urine Samples
1991
Abstract Solid-phase extraction techniques were evaluated for the treatment of urine samples in the analysis of diuretics before injection into an HP-Hypersyl ODS-C18 column. Six different reversed-phase extraction columns were tested, and the results obtained are compared with those obtained in a classical liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate. The solid-phase extraction procedures are the best overall choice for all the diuretics tested, due to their versatility, the minor time-consuming, and the good recovery percentages obtained. C18 and C8 packings give the highest recoveries for a majority of the diuretics studied. However, CH or PH columns, due to their greater selectivity, can…
Separation of selected peptides by capillary electroendoosmotic chromatography using 3 μm reversed-phase bonded silica and mixed-mode phases
1999
The retention behaviour and selectivity of selected basic, neutral and acidic peptides have been studied by capillary electroendoosmotic chromatography (CEC) with Hypersil C8, C18, Hypersil mixed-mode, and Spherisorb C18/SCX columns, 250 (335) mm x 100 microns, packed with 3 microns particles, and eluted with mobile phases composed of acetonitrile-triethylamine-phosphoric acid (TEAP) at pH 3.0 using a Hewlett-Packard Model HP3DCE capillary electrophoresis system. The selected peptides were desmopressin (D), two analogues (A and B) of desmopressin, oxytocin (O) and carbetocin (C). The peptides eluted either before or after the electroendoosmotic flow (EOF) marker, depending on the concentrat…
A theoretical plate model accounting for slow kinetics in chromatographic elution.
2011
The chromatographic elution has been studied from different perspectives. However, in spite of the simplicity and evident deficiencies of the plate model proposed by Martin and Synge, it has served as a basis for the characterization of columns up-to-date. This approach envisions the chromatographic column as an arbitrary number of theoretical plates, each of them consisting of identical repeating portions of mobile phase and stationary phase. Solutes partition between both phases, reaching the equilibrium. Mobile phase transference between the theoretical plates is assumed to be infinitesimally stepwise (or continuous), giving rise to the mixing of the solutions in adjacent plates. This yi…
Improvement of peak shape and separation performance of beta-blockers in conventional reversed-phase columns using solvent modifiers.
2003
A comparative study of peak shape, elution behavior, and resolution of 16 beta-blockers (acebutolol, alprenolol, atenolol, bisoprolol, carteolol, celiprolol, esmolol, labetalol, metoprolol, nadolol, oxprenolol, pindolol, practolol, propranolol, sotalol, and timolol) chromatographed with hybrid mobile phases of triethylamine (TEA)-acetonitrile and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-propanol is performed using conventional reversed-phase columns and isocratic elution. Both solvent modifiers (TEA and SDS) prevent the interaction of the basic drugs with the alkyl-bonded phase. However, the protection mechanisms of silanols on the packing are different. Whereas TEA associates with the silanol sites (b…
Micellar-organic versus aqueous-organic mobile phases for the screening of β-blockers
2002
A comparative study of the performance of reversed-phase liquid chromatography with micellar-organic (MLC) and aqueous-organic (RPLC) mobile phases is reported for the separation of 16 -blockers (acebutolol, alprenolol, atenolol, bisoprolol, carteolol, celiprolol, esmolol, labetalol, metoprolol, nadolol, oxprenolol, pindolol, practolol, propranolol, sotalol, and timolol). MLC with hybrid mobile phases of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and propanol is revealed as a very competitive technique for the screening of these drugs. Using a conventional Spherisorb C18 column, the theoretical plates ( N) and asymmetry factors (B/A) for the optimal mobile phase compositions were in the ranges N = 2200–4…
A multinjection strategy for mercury speciation.
2005
Abstract A multiinjection strategy has been developed to increase the sampling throughput of the high-performance liquid chromatography determination of inorganic-mercury, methylmercury, ethylmercury and phenylmercury. The method involves the injection of samples each 3.5 min, in spite of the fact that phenylmercury retention time corresponds to 9.04 min. In the selected conditions, the sampling frequency was 11 h −1 in front of that of 6 h −1 , obtained by conventional injection of each sample after the complete elution of Hg species. Additionally, the analytical reagents consumption was reduced drastically in almost 50%. The main characteristics of the chromatographic separation were main…
Analysis of tricyclic antidepressants in pharmaceuticals by microemulsion liquid chromatography
2021
Abstract Basic compounds yield long retention times and broad and asymmetric peaks in reversed-phase liquid chromatography, due to interaction with residual silanols in the columns. The addition of the surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate in the so called micellar liquid chromatography enhances the efficiency, but long retention is achieved, due to electrostatic interaction between the cationic species of basic compounds and the anionic sulphate group of the surfactant. This forces the addition of a strong organic solvent to get appropriate times. An alternative is the use of a microemulsion (ME), formed by mixing surfactant, oil and an alcohol as co-surfactant. Association of hydrophobic com…
Evaluation of advanced silica packings for the separation of biopolymers by high-perforamnce liquid chromatography
1987
Non-porous monodisperse 1.5-μm silicas were allowed to react with (A) and (B) N-acetylaminopropyltriethoxysilane to generate bonded phases useful in high-performance hydrophobic-interaction chromatography (HIC). Differences in the selectivity were observed between he amide and the ether phase. Peak capacities between 10 and 30 were achieved for several proteins with the amide and ether phase packed into columns of 36 × 8 mm I.D. and elution of the proteins under chromatographic conditions in which the gradient volume, VG, was held constant by varying the gradient time between 20 and 2.5 min and the flow-rate between 0.5 and 4.0 ml/min. The S values derived from the dependences of log k′ on …
Comparative study of capillary electroendosmotic chromatography and electrically assisted gradient nano-liquid chromatography for the separation of p…
2000
Capillary electroendoendosmotic chromatography (CEC), being a hybrid of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and capillary electrophoresis, offers considerable changes to enhance column efficiency, speed of analysis and additional selectivity as compared to the parent methods. The analytes are driven by the electroendosmotic flow (EOF) and separated by surface-solute interactions as well as by differences in electromigration. In this paper on the separation of peptides on C18 reversed-phase and mixed-mode (sulphonic acid-n-alkyl) packings in CEC and electrically assisted reversed-phase gradient nano-LC are investigated. It is shown that mixed mode packings generate a higher EOF tha…
Microporous hypercrosslinked polystyrene Styrosorb as a restricted access packing in sample clean-up for high performance liquid chromatography. Part…
1993
Styrosorb is a beaded microporous polystyrene with particle sizes between 2 and 4 μm. In spite of hypercrosslinkage the material was seen to swell in organic solvents. The native material is functionalized with Tris-groups at the outer surface of the particles. The average pore diameter was determined as 1.45±0.3 nm from size exclusion data using polystyrene and polyethylene standards in THF. The reversed phase behavior of the restricted access phase Styrosorb was investigated by injection of two test mixtures. Mixture I contained five aromatic amines, mixture II consisted of AmperozideR and four related compounds. The optimum range of mobile phase composition was assessed so that analytes …
