Comparison of two serially coupled column systems and optimization software in isocratic liquid chromatography for resolving complex mixtures.
2012
Although there is a great deal of stationary phases having different selectivities (even practically orthogonal selectivities), these very rarely are taken as a factor to be optimized during method development. The chromatographer selects the stationary phase usually in a trial-and-error fashion (or based on the solute nature and expected interactions), and then optimizes continuous factors as the mobile phase composition, pH, temperature and flow-rate. However, the optimization of the stationary phase nature and column length (which are discrete factors) may be interesting. In this regard, the optimization of the coupling of individual columns may yield separations that are not possible wi…
Gelchromatographische refraktionierung, molekulargewichtsabhängigkeit der axialen dispersionsfunktion
1979
The knowledge of axial dispersion is necessary for the determination of molecular weight distributions from gel permeation chromatograms. This work deals with the determination of the axial dispersion function and its dependence on the molecular weight using refractionation method. The results of a number of fractionated and unfractionated samples of polystyrene reveal that peak dispersion in GPC arises mainly from diffusion in the stationary phase on the basis of the theoretical expression proposed by Kubin.
Fast high performance liquid chromatography analysis in lipidomics: Separation of radiolabelled fatty acids and phosphatidylcholine molecular species…
2006
Abstract HPLC procedures using conventional C 18 columns are usually used to separate simple and complex lipid mixtures but these methods of separation remain often laborious and very slow. Here, monolithic columns were successfully applied to separate lipids – radiolabelled fatty acid mixtures and individual phosphatidylcholine (PC) molecular species. For that, isocratic elution was performed using two Chromolith™ Performance RP-18e columns connected in series. Detection was achieved by online measurement of radioactivity for radiolabelled fatty acids and by UV absorbance at 205 nm for PC molecular species. The performances of such silica rods were compared to conventional reverse-phase si…
Prediction of the retention in reversed-phase liquid chromatography using solute-mobile phase-stationary phase polarity parameters.
2002
Abstract A previously reported algorithm, based on the equation: log k=( log k) 0 +p(P N m −P N s ) , that relates the retention in reversed-phase liquid chromatography with solute (p), mobile phase (PmN) and stationary phase (PsN) relative polarity parameters, is improved. The retention data reported by several authors for different sets of compounds, eluted with acetonitrile–water and methanol–water mixtures, are used to test the algorithm and elaborate a database of p values. The methodology is successfully applied to predict the retention using PmN values calculated as PmN=1.00−(2.13ϕ)/(1+1.42ϕ) for acetonitrile–water and PmN=1.00−(1.33ϕ)/(1+0.47ϕ) for methanol–water, ϕ being the organi…
Solute retention in reversed-phase chromatography as a function of stationary phase properties: Effect of n-alkyl chain length and ligand density
1988
Two series of bonded phases were synthesized employing LiChrospher Si 100, 10 μm and n-alkyldimethylmonochlorosilanes as silanizing reagents. In series A the n-alkyl chain length, n, of the bonded phase was varied between 1 and 20 at a constant ligand density of 3.5±0.2μmol·m−2. In series B the ligand density, d, was gradually changed from 0 to 4.1μmol·m−2 on the C1, C4, C6, C8 and C18 bonded phases, respectively.
Classification of olive leaves and pulp extracts by comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography of polyphenolic fingerprints.
2019
Abstract The development of a new comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatographic method is described, to obtain the profiles of polyphenolic compounds present in olive (Olea europaea L.) leaves and pulps from different genetic origin. Optimisation of the stationary phase nature, particle size, column length and internal diameter, as well as other separation conditions, was performed. Along the study, three stationary phases (C18, PFP and phenyl) in the first dimension (1D), and five (C18, amide, cyano, phenyl and PFP) in the second dimension (2D) were combined to obtain the maximal number of resolved peaks. The optimised method successfully characterised the presence of 26 and 29 comm…
Apoptotic-like Leishmania exploit the host´s autophagy machinery to reduce T-cell-mediated parasite elimination
2015
Apoptosis is a well-defined cellular process in which a cell dies, characterized by cell shrinkage and DNA fragmentation. In parasites like Leishmania, the process of apoptosis-like cell death has been described. Moreover upon infection, the apoptotic-like population is essential for disease development, in part by silencing host phagocytes. Nevertheless, the exact mechanism of how apoptosis in unicellular organisms may support infectivity remains unclear. Therefore we investigated the fate of apoptotic-like Leishmania parasites in human host macrophages. Our data showed--in contrast to viable parasites--that apoptotic-like parasites enter an LC3(+), autophagy-like compartment. The compartm…
Computing the Trace
2001
So far we have been interested in the general expression for the WKB-propagation function. Now we turn our attention to the trace of that propagator, since we want to exhibit the energy eigenvalues of a given potential. From earlier discussions we know that the energy levels of a given Hamiltonian are provided by the poles of the Green’s function:
