Filter-based infrared detectors for high temperature size exclusion chromatography analysis of polyolefins: calibration with a small number of standa…
2012
Infrared detection has been shown to be very appropriate for high temperature analysis of polyolefins. After some early reports in which dispersive or single-band filter-based detectors were applied, Fourier transform detectors have been described for this application, in order to improve the method sensitivity. Modern simple filter-based detectors prove, however, comparable sensitivity while providing a number of practical advantages when coupled to chromatographic systems: reduced cell volume, simplified hardware, continuous generation of absorbance chromatograms, as well as simpler data collection and processing. A practical method for calibration, using multiple-band signals obtained wi…
Ion-exchange voltammetry at a surfactant-doped electrode: model of mass transfer kinetics to an anionic surface-charged electrode and its application…
2000
cited By 10; International audience; A theoretical model of mass transfer kinetics was developed for investigating the accumulation of cationic compounds at an anionic surfactant-doped screen-printed electrode. It was extended to an enzyme-generated cationic product for the indirect determination of alkaline phosphatase (AP). The model takes into account the analyte depletion, the kinetics of the ion-exchange reaction-diffusion and the kinetics of the enzymatic reaction. The relationship between the ion-exchange voltammetric anodic peak current and the enzyme incubation/accumulation time for a given concentration of AP was established and the validity of the theoretical model was verified e…
Volumes and compressibilities of pentanol in aqueous alkyltrimethylammonium bromide solutions at different temperatures
1990
Speed of sound and density properties of ternary water-tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide-pentanol system at 15, 25 and 35°C and of water-hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide-pentanol system at 25, 35 and 45°C were measured at fixed alcohol concentration as a function of surfactant concentration. The apparent molar volumes Vϕ,R and isentropic compressibilities Kϕ,RS of pentanol in micellar solutions as a function of the surfactant concentration show irregular behavior which depends on the alkyl chain length of the surfactant and tends to disappear with increasing temperature. These anomalies are ascribed to micellar transitions. For both surfactants at high concentrations, Vϕ,R decrease and …
Column technology in liquid chromatography
2017
This chapter deals with the most important part of the liquid chromatography (LC) system: the column enabling the efficient and fast resolution of complex mixtures. It is divided into seven sections under the overall aspects of manufacture, operation, and evaluation of analytical columns for the user. The first three sections highlight the column design and hardware, followed by a thorough treatment of the properties of microparticulate silica adsorbents as packing material, stationary phases performed by surface functionalization, and the column filling process. Then, the implementation of the column into the LC system is discussed, leading into chromatographic column testing as a C18-bond…
Spectrophotometry: Pharmaceutical Applications
2013
Pharmaceutical analysis is mainly focussed in drug analyses, in raw materials and pharmaceutical formulations, involving the determination of active components, impurities, excipients, content uniformity, solubility, dissolution rate and stability.
Modelling of retention behaviour of solutes in micellar liquid chromatography
1997
In micellar liquid chromatography (MLC), the resolution for a given multi-component mixture can be optimized by changing several variables, such as the concentrations of surfactant and organic modifier, the pH and temperature. However, this advantage can only be fully exploited with the development of mathematical models that describe the retention and the separation mechanisms. Several reports have appeared recently on the possibilities of accurately predicting the solute retention in MLC. Although the retention and selectivity may strongly change with varying concentrations of surfactant, organic modifier and/or pH, the observed changes are very regular, and are well described by simple m…
ICP-MS multielement determination in fly ash after microwave-assisted digestion of samples.
2001
A microwave assisted digestion procedure has been developed for dissolution of fly ash samples prior to the inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometric determination of their elemental composition. The developed methodology was validated by carrying out the analysis of two high-silicate containing reference materials (CRM 134R sewage amended soil and NIES JR 1 rock) and by means of the comparison between results found by microwave-assisted digestion and ICP-MS of fly ash samples with those found by neutron activation analysis (NAA) for Sb, Cs, Cr, Co, Fe, U and Zn determination. The method developed can be recommended for routine multielement analysis of fly ash.
Interpretive optimisation of organic solvent content and flow-rate in the separation of β-blockers with a Chromolith RP-18e column
2009
The chromatographic performance of a Chromolith RP-18e column was comprehensively examined for a group of basic drugs (beta-blockers), eluted with isocratic ACN-water mixtures at increasing flow-rate up to 6 mL/min. As the flow-rate increases at fixed mobile phase composition, peak distribution (selectivity) is maintained, but the relative peak widths increase. This reduces the resolution below satisfactory values for closely eluting compounds. With the monolithic column, flow-rate becomes thus an important factor to be optimised, in addition to the mobile phase composition. Since, theoretically, retention factors (k) are independent of the flow-rate, the classical quadratic model relating …
Net analyte signal as a deconvolution-oriented resolution criterion in the optimisation of chromatographic techniques
2003
The performance of two multivariate calibration measurements, multivariate selectivity (SEL(s)) and scalar net analyte signal (scalar NAS), as chromatographic objective functions (COFs), was investigated. Since both assessments are straightforwardly related to the quantification of analytes in the presence of interferents, they were expected to confer new features in the optimisation of compound resolution, not present in conventional assessments. These capabilities are especially interesting in situations of low resolution, where peak deconvolution becomes an attractive alternative. For comparison purposes, chromatographic resolution (R(s)) and peak purity (p(s)) were used as reference COF…
Development of predictive retention-activity relationship models of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs by micellar liquid chromatography: comparis…
2000
The predictive and interpretative capability of quantitative chromatographic retention-biological activity models is supported by the fact that under adequate experimental conditions the solute partitioning into chromatographic system can emulate the solute partitioning into lipid bilayers of biological membranes, which is the basis for drug and metabolite uptake, passive transport across membranes and bioaccumulation. The use of micellar solutions of Brij35 as mobile phases in reversed-phase liquid chromatography has proven to be valid to predict some biological activities of different kinds of drugs. In this study, quantitative retention-activity relationship (QRAR) models to describe som…
