Profiling of endogenous peptides by multidimensional liquid chromatography: On-line automated sample cleanup for biomarker discovery in human urine.
2009
A simple and flexible system, employing a column switching technique, has been designed to allow the analysis of peptides and proteins smaller than 15 kDa by molecular weight in filtered urine samples by performing a direct on-column injection utilising simultaneous sample clean-up and trace enrichment. The positively charged peptides and small proteins in the sample are attracted to the inner, negatively charged pore structure of the RAM-SCX column while the larger proteins and uncharged or negatively charged compounds are excluded. After preconditioning with the biological sample, large amounts of sample can be injected. Several important and adjustable parameters for the proper use of a …
Comparison of the performance of non-ionic and anionic surfactants as mobile phase additives in the RPLC analysis of basic drugs
2011
Surfactants added to the mobile phases in reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) give rise to a modified stationary phase, due to the adsorption of surfactant monomers. Depending on the surfactant nature (ionic or non-ionic), the coated stationary phase can exhibit a positive net charge, or just change its polarity remaining neutral. Also, micelles in the mobile phase introduce new sites for solute interaction. This affects the chromatographic behavior, especially in the case of basic compounds. Two surfactants of different nature, the non-ionic Brij-35 and the anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) added to water or aqueous-organic mixtures, are here compared in the separation of basic …

On the measurement of consistent long-term retention factor values in micellar liquid chromatography
2007
Abstract In the field of the quantitative structure–retention and retention–activity relationships (QRAR and QSRR) is crucial to obtain consistent retention factors (k). For this purpose, two unbiased approaches to estimate k are used: (i) the IUPAC approach (based on the extra-column time correction) and (ii) the ‘2-references’ approach (based on the k estimation respect to two prefixed reference k values). Three reference chemicals were selected attending to their retention time, chemical stability and non-ionic character. Consistent retention factor values for these references were estimated for C18 chromatographic columns and Brij35 solutions as mobile phases after statistical analysis.…
Quantitative Retention−Structure and Retention−Activity Relationship Studies of Local Anesthetics by Micellar Liquid Chromatography
2011
The retention of compounds in micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) is governed by hydrophobic and electrostatic forces. For ionic compounds, both interactions should be considered. The present report offers a novel retention model that includes the hydrophobicity of compounds and the molar fraction of the charged form of compounds and compares it with other previously reported models. High correlations between the logarithm of capacity factors and these structural parameters were obtained for local anesthetics with different degrees of ionization using a nonionic surfactant solution as mobile phase. Modeling the retention of compounds as a function of physicochemical parameters and experime…
Quantitative structure-retention and retention-activity relationships of beta-blocking agents by micellar liquid chromatography.
2001
Abstract Sixteen β-blocking agents (acebutolol, alprenolol, atenolol, bisoprolol, carteolol, celiprolol, esmolol, labetalol, metoprolol, nadolol, oxprenolol, pindolol, practolol, propranolol, sotalol and timolol) showing a large range of hydrophobicity (octanol–water partition coefficients, log P between −0.026 and 2.81) were subjected to micellar liquid chromatography with sodium dodecyl sulfate as micelle forming agent, and n-propanol as organic modifier. The correlation between log P and the retention factor extrapolated to a mobile phase free of micelles and organic modifier was investigated. The use of an interpolated retention factor or the retention factor for specific individual exp…
Novel general expressions that describe the behavior of the height equivalent of a theoretical plate in chromatographic systems involving electricall…
2002
Novel general expressions are constructed and presented that describe the behavior of the height equivalent of a theoretical plate (plate height), H, as a function of the linear velocity, Vx, along the axis, x, of the column and the kinetic parameters that characterize the mass transfer and adsorption mechanisms in chromatographic columns. Open tube capillaries as well as columns packed with either non-porous or porous particles are studied. The porous particles could have unimodal or bimodal pore-size distributions and intraparticle convective fluid flow and pore diffusion are considered. The expressions for the plate height, H, presented in this work could be applicable to high-performanc…
Gel permeation Chromatography in coiled columns
1973
Whereas in gas chromatography the use of coiled columns is the usual procedure, in liquid chromatography the use of straight columns is favoured. Bent columns give an additional contribution to peak spreading which is of greater importance in liquid chromatography than in gas chromatography owing to smaller diffusion coefficients. The low linear velocities of the mobile phase used in gel permeation chromatography enable conditions to be found where the additional contribution of bending to peak spreading is small. In the separation of oligomers, columns of 2-mm tube diameter and 20-cm coil diameter were used. With total lengths of 10 and 20 m, theoretical plate counts of ca. 70,000 and 150,…
Comparison of liquid chromatography using triple quadrupole and quadrupole ion trap mass analyzers to determine pesticide residues in oranges.
2005
Liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole/mass spectrometry (LC-TQ/MS) and liquid chromatography-quadrupole ion trap/mass spectrometry (LC-QIT/MS) for determining bupirimate, hexaflumuron, tebufenpyrad, buprofezin, pyriproxyfen, and fluvalinate in fruits have been compared. The differences in the mass spectra obtained by triple and ion trap quadrupoles are discussed, showing how both of them provide interesting features. The evaluation of the two instruments was carried out by ethyl acetate extraction of oranges spiked with the studied pesticides at LOQ and 10 times the LOQ. Results obtained by LC-TQ/MS correlated well with those obtained by LC-QIT/MS. Recoveries were 70-94% by LC-TQ/MS and 7…
