Quick determination of Glyphosate and AMPA at sub µg/L in drinking water by direct injection into LC-MS/MS

2021

Abstract A sensitive, simple and quick method for the determination of glyphosate (Gly) and its degradation product, Aminomethyl phosphonic acid (AMPA), in water through ion chromatography coupled to quadrupole-linear ion trap mass spectrometry has been developed. Sample treatment was based on direct injection and acquisition was implemented in both MS2 and MS3 modes. The LoQs of the method were 0.03 µ/L for both Gly-and AMPA. The recoveries were between 91 and 118% and RSD was lower than 15%. The developed methodology was applied on 436 water samples.

Protocol to compare column performance applied to hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography

2019

Abstract The lack of retention of highly polar solutes in liquid chromatography with reversed phase columns (RPLC) can be solved through the use of the hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatographic (HILIC) mode. Due to the complexity of the separation mechanisms in HILIC and the different factors that may have significant influence, the selection of the appropriate stationary phase plays a fundamental role in the development of analytical procedures to obtain good performance. In this work, the chromatographic performance of bare silica and six polar stationary phases with different functionalized groups (with neutral, cationic, anionic and zwitterionic character) are investigated. The beh…

Packings and stationary phases for biopolymer separations by HPLC

1987

Packings and stationary phases applied to high resolution separations of proteins, enzymes, and nucleic acids must satisfy a series of distinct criteria that are different from those usually required by HPLC of low molecular weight non-biologically active analytes. These requirements have been met through substantial improvements in classical gel media together with novel developments in silica supports, and have led to a family of products with tailor-made and reproducible properties. Supports consisting of cross-linked organic gels, and inorganic materials (mostly silicas) are now available with graduated particle sizes, pore sizes, porosities and surface areas as well as non-porous beads…

Assessment and optimization of system parameters in size exclusion separation of proteins on diol-modified silica columns

1981

Abstract On diol-modified silica columns the retention of proteins is governed by a size exclusion effect, but superimposed on this are some secondary effects, i.e. , ionic and diol-ligand interactions which can be controlled and adjusted reproducibly by varying the eluent composition. The eluent composition also affects the column efficiency and peak shape. Both dependences can be employed to obtain a better resolution of proteins than can be expected from size exclusion alone.

Rapid detergent exchange in solutions of the membrane protein bacteriorhodopsin by preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)

Enrichment of proteinaceous materials on a strong cation-exchange diol silica restricted access material: protein–protein displacement and interactio…

2004

A study of size exclusion and enrichment of proteins employing strong cation-exchange diol silica restricted access material (SCX-RAM) under saturation conditions is presented. Experiments were carried out with bacitracin, protamine, ribonuclease, lysozyme and bovine serum albumin as individual proteinaceous analytes as well as comprehensive binary mixtures and with human urine samples. Protein size dependent capacity features of the SCX-RAM column was observed. Bacitracin demonstrated the highest capacity followed by protamine while adsorption capacities of both ribonuclease and lysozyme were found smaller by a factor of 10. Applying binary protein samples occurring displacement effects we…

Preferential solvation of lysozyme and bovine serum albumin in copper salt solutions. A quantitative chromatographic study

1986

Preferential solvation λ parameters for systems containing water-copper salt-protein (lysozyme or bovine serum albumin) have been determined by gel permeation chromatography. When water is preferentially adsorbed by the protein, good agreement is found between λ values determined by this method and by equilibrium dialysis-differential refractometry. The influence of the concentration and type of anion component of the copper salt, protein concentration and temperature has been investigated. The methodology used also allows direct visualization of the metal ion bound to the protein and to determine binding parameters. Apparent association constants of 2.0 × 102 M−1 and 1.7 × 102 M−1 have bee…

Adsorption of proteins on porous and non-porous poly(ethyleneimine) and tentacle-type anion exchangers

1990

Abstract Adsorption isotherms of proteins [bovine serum albumin (BSA), soybean trypsin inhibitor and alcohol dehydrogenase] on anion exchangers were measured by on-line and off-line methods. The poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) type and the tentacle-type materials exhibited principally different modes of adsorption. On thin layers of PEI, bonded to non-porous silica, BSA adsorption data corresponded to a monolayer of molecules, with 80% adsorbed side-on, with a high affinity constant for binding, and 20% adsorbed more weakly. With porous material, the amount of BSA bound per unit surface with high affinity was smaller. With tentacle-type anion exchangers, adsorption exceeded a monolayer by far, an…

Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), I: Reassociation from Immucothel® followed by separation of KLH1 and KLH2

1997

Abstract Studies of keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) normally require purification of functional complexes directly from living animals. An alternative procedure is described wherein a commercial preparation of KLH which is fully dissociated into its subunits (Immucothel®, biosyn Arzneimittel GmbH) is reassociated in the presence of a high concentration of calcium and magnesium. The reassociation products, when observed by electron microscopy, consist of didecamers, multidecamers and flexible tubules of varying length. The two forms of KLH described previously and designated KLH1 and KLH2, are present in the reassocated mixture as homo-oligomers/polymers and can be separated by selective dis…

High Submicellar Liquid Chromatography

2013

Surfactant addition above the critical micellar concentration (CMC), in reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC), was proposed as a way to modify the selectivity and analysis time, giving rise to a chromatographic mode called micellar liquid chromatography (MLC). However, solutions containing only surfactant are too weak and yield poor peak shape. This was remediated by the addition of a small amount of organic solvent. To preserve the existence of micelles, in MLC high contents of organic solvent are avoided. Nevertheless, there is no reason to neglect the potentiality of mobile phases containing a surfactant above its CMC in water and a high organic solvent content (without micelles). …
