Towards the optimization of complementary systems in reversed-phase liquid chromatography
2002
Previously reported optimization methodology, which seeks complementary mobile phases (CMP) in isocratic chromatography, has been extended to include more than one system simultaneously (i.e. more than one organic solvent and/or column). In the literature the benefits of complementarity are not usually fully exploited—few working conditions giving rise to interactions as different as possible are examined, without developing a fully linked optimization. The proposed approach is compared critically with use of a single mobile phase or CMP which consider one system only. The strategy greatly expands the capability of isocratic chromatography in the analysis of complex samples that cannot be r…
Possible interferences of mercury sulfur compounds with ethylated and methylated mercury species using HPLC-ICP-MS
2002
The HPLC-ICP-MS coupling technique is able to separate and detect methyl, ethyl and inorganic mercury isotopes specifically. An identification of ethyl mercury(+) is not possible when the widely used sodium tetraethylborate derivatisation method in combination with GC-AFS/AAS or ICP-MS techniques is performed because it contains ethyl groups.An unidentified compound with the same retention time as ethyl mercury was found in the HPLC chromatograms of industrial sewage samples and humic-rich soils of microcosm experiments after applying water vapour distillation. We also observed such unidentified peaks in samples of heavily contaminated sites in Eastern Germany, separated by HPLC fractionati…
Determination of Anticonvulsant Drugs in Pharmaceutical Preparations by Micellar Liquid Chromatography
2004
A micellar liquid chromatographic method for quality control of pharmaceutical preparations (capsules, pills, tablets, injections, drops, and suppositories) containing the anticonvulsant drugs acetazolamide, carbamacepine, chlordiazepoxide, diazepam, ethosuximide, phenytoin, phenobarbital, and zopiclone has been developed. This methodology involves the use of micellar solutions of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as mobile phases and UV detection. The proposed approach is rapid and reproducible. Sample preparation only requires dissolution with micellar solvent and adequate dilution with the mobile phase before injection into the chromatographic system.
Estimation of diuretic drugs in biological fluids by HPLC
1992
This critical review of different methods proposed for the determination and screening of diuretics is directed mainly, because of its potential application, towards highperformance liquid chromatography.
A Study of Lipid-Lipid and Lipid-Polypeptide Interactions by High Performance Liquid Chromatography
1984
Abstract Ternary systems containing phosphatidylcholine-cholesterol, phosphatidylcholine-gramicidin A or cholesterol-gramicidin A in tetrahydrofuran have been examined by high performance liquid chromatography. Preferential solvation of cholesterol and especially gramicidin A by phosphatidylcholine is observed. These results are interpreted in terms of hydrophobic interactions between membrane components.
Improved sample preparation for the testosterone hydroxylation assay using disposable extraction columns
1992
The preparation of samples for injection into a high-performance liquid chromatograph from assay mixtures for the determination of cytochrome P-450-dependent testosterone hydroxylation has been substantially facilitated. By replacing the multiple cumbersome extraction steps of the conventional method with a single column extraction the time for sample preparation was reduced from hours to minutes. The new procedure also yields better recoveries for most of the testosterone metabolites than the original protocol. The use of extraction columns for sample preparation allows the simultaneous treatment of a large number of samples or even the automation of the whole assay procedure. The modified…
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…
Performance of Markers and the Homologous Series Method for Dead Time Estimation in Reversed-Phase Liquid Chromatography
2009
Abstract Two methods for dead time estimation (the use of markers and the homologous series mathematical method) are revised. Out of twelve assayed common markers, only KBr, KI, tartrazine, thiourea, uracil, and urea yielded retention times independent of the mobile phase composition in the range 10–90% acetonitrile, using a Zorbax Eclipse XDB−C18 column. On the other hand, the quality of the estimations provided by the homologous series method was limited by the mathematical approach and the data quality. With this method, the estimated dead time is an extrapolated value, which is severely affected by the data of the most retained compounds that act as leverage points, biasing the result. …
Determination of Lobenzarit Disodium in Human Plasma by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography
1998
Abstract A reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic procedure was developed for determination of lobenzarit disodium in human plasma over the range 0.5−17.5 μg/mL with diphenylamine as internal standard. Plasma samples were extracted with acetonitrile and an aliquot was injected onto a Lichrospher 100 RP-18 column with ultraviolet absorbance detection at 308 nm. Composition of the mobile phase was acetonitrile-water-glacial acetic acid (50:50:0.2 v/v/v).
