Retention Behavior (retention + behavior)
Selected AbstractsRetention behavior of trans isomers of eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid methyl esters on a polyethylene glycol stationary phaseEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF LIPID SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, Issue 6 2008Svein A. Mjøs Abstract A polyethylene glycol (PEG) stationary phase was evaluated for the separation of mono- trans isomers of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) methyl esters. The resolution patterns were compared to patterns achieved with previously applied conditions on a cyanopropyl phase. There were no overlaps between all- cis EPA/DHA and their mono- trans isomers on the PEG phase. Because of overlap between 22:0 and 22:1 isomers, the PEG column is not a good choice for analyses of EPA trans isomers in crude fish oils. However, if the saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids are not present in significant amounts, PEG can be a better choice than cyanopropyl columns. [source] Retention of arsenic species on zwitterionic stationary phase in hydrophilic interaction chromatographyJOURNAL OF SEPARATION SCIENCE, JSS, Issue 6-7 2010Dan Xie Abstract Zwitterionic hydrophilic interaction chromatography (ZIC® -HILIC) was used to study the retention of selected organoarsenicals. The retention behavior of nine organic arsenic species on ZIC® -HILIC was investigated to elucidate which is the driving force for their separation, hydrophilic partitioning or adsorption driven by hydrogen bonds with surface H-donor/acceptor groups of the stationary phase. For this, the retention factor of the compounds k was correlated with log PO/W and with the calculated strength of hydrogen bonding of the analytes. By examining aliphatic and phenylic compounds separately, improved correlation was received. This indicates that both phenomena contribute to the separation of these arsenic species on ZIC® -HILIC. The results obtained evidence that considerable electrostatic interactions also occur on ZIC® -HILIC. Retention behavior of arsenic species was investigated by varying the separation conditions, which shows that the composition of the eluent has a strong influence on the retention behavior. It is highly dependent on water/acetonitrile ratio, pH value and salt additives. Dissociation degree and polarity of arsenic species, which are varying with pH, regulate the distribution of arsenic species between stationary and mobile phases in HILIC. Increase in the ammonium acetate concentration leads to shortened or to prolonged retention depending on the structure of the arsenic species. [source] Development of a new method for analysis of Sudan dyes by pressurized CEC with amperometric detectionELECTROPHORESIS, Issue 11 2007Shaofeng Liu Abstract A new analytical method, pressurized CEC (pCEC) with amperometric detection (AD) using 1.5,,m RP nonporous silica packed columns has been developed for the rapid separation and determination of four Sudan dyes in hot chilli. The influence of several experimental parameters on the retention behavior has been investigated. The electrochemical oxidation of Sudans I,IV separated by pCEC can be reliably monitored with a carbon electrode at +0.95,V (vs. Ag/AgCl). Fast and efficient separation of the analytes was achieved within 7,min by pCEC under the optimum conditions with an ACN/water (95:5%) mobile phase containing formic acid (pH,4.3), 5% acetone and 0.002% triethylamine using a separation voltage of 12,kV. The detection limits for four Sudan dyes ranged from 8.0,×,10,7 to 1.2,×,10,6,mol/L. To evaluate the feasibility and reliability of this method, the proposed pCEC-AD method was further demonstrated with hot chilli samples spiked with Sudan dyes. [source] Titanium dioxide nanoparticles-coated column for capillary electrochromatographic separation of oligopeptidesELECTROPHORESIS, Issue 21 2005Yi-Ling Hsieh Abstract A novel column made through the condensation reaction of TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2,NPs) with silanol groups of the fused-silica capillary is described. EOF measurements under various buffer constitutions were used to monitor the completion of reactions. The results indicated that the EOF was dependent on the interactions between buffers and the bonded TiO2,NPs. With formate/Tris buffer, EOF reversal at pH below,5 and cathodic EOF at pH above,5 were indicated. The pI of the bonded TiO2,NPs was found at ,ph,5. Only cathodic EOF was illustrated by substituting the mobile phase with either glutamate or phosphate buffer. It was elucidated that both glutamate and phosphate buffer yield a negative charge layer on the surface of TiO2,NPs attributable to the formation of a titanium complex. The CEC performance of the column was tested with angiotensin-type oligopeptides. Some parameters that would affect the retention behavior were investigated. The interactions between the bonded phases and the analytes were explicated by epitomized acid,base functional groups of the oligopepetides and the speciation of the surface oxide in different pH ranges. The average separation efficiencies of 3.1×104,plates/m is readily achieved with a column of 70,cm (50,cm)×50,,m,ID under an applied voltage of 15,kV, phosphate buffer (pH,6.0, 40,mM), and UV detection at 214,nm. [source] Analysis of the surface energy of pharmaceutical powders by inverse gas chromatographyJOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES, Issue 2 2002Ian M. Grimsey Abstract The behavior of pharmaceutical solids, during either processing or use, can be noticeably affected by the surface energetics of the constituent particles. Several techniques exist to measure the surface energy, for example, sessile drop, and dynamic contact angle measurements. Inverse gas chromatography (IGC) is an alternative technique where the powder surface is characterized by the retention behavior of minute quantities of well-characterized vapors that are injected into a column containing the material of interest. Recently published articles using IGC on pharmaceutical powders have ranged from linking surface energetic data with triboelectric charging to studying the effect of surface moisture on surface energetics. Molecular modelling has also recently been used to explore the links between IGC data and the structural and chemical factors that influence surface properties, thereby achieving predictive knowledge regarding powder behavior during processing. In this minireview, the reported applications of IGC in the analysis of pharmaceutical powders are summarized and the major findings highlighted. © 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc. and the American Pharmaceutical Association J Pharm Sci 91:571,583, 2002 [source] HPLC/ESI-MSn and ESI-MS studies on the Aconitum alkaloids in three Chinese medicinal herbsJOURNAL OF SEPARATION SCIENCE, JSS, Issue 17-18 2010Wenlong Liu Abstract Aconitum lipo-alkaloids (LDAs) peaks in the previous HPLC studies have shown overlapping behavior, making it impossible to identify the total retention behavior of LDAs. The structural diversity of LDAs in Radix Aconiti, Radix Aconiti Kusnezoffii and Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata makes it difficult to synthesize and quantify each of them. Therefore, this study has been devoted to develop a HPLC/ESI-MSn method with good resolution of Aconitum alkaloids especially LDAs and then set up a fast ESI-MS SIM method to quantify the total contents of specific skeleton LDAs in the three herbs via in-source CID and the capability of mass separation. As a result, the retention behavior of LDAs was summarized based on an optimized chromatographic separation; 32 alkaloids from the three herbs of Aconitum genus were separated and identified according to their fragmentation pathways by using HPLC/ESI-MSn. In addition, a fast quantitative analysis ESI-MS SIM method was successfully applied to the quantification of the total contents of specific skeleton LDAs in the three herbs.

[source] Structural characterization and identification of ecdysteroids from Sida rhombifolia L. in positive electrospray ionization by tandem mass spectrometryRAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY, Issue 16 2008Yan-Hong Wang Seven ecdysteroids isolated from Sida rhombifolia L. were studied by electrospray ionization multi-stage tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MSn) in the positive ion mode using an ion trap analyzer and high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a diode-array detector (HPLC/DAD). The HPLC experiments were performed by means of a reversed-phase C18 column and a binary mobile phase system consisting of water (containing 0.05% formic acid) and acetonitrile (containing 0.05% formic acid) under gradient elution conditions. According to mass spectral features and the substitution at C-2, C-20, C-24 and C-25, ecdysteroids in S. rhombifolia were classified into three sub-groups. Structural identification of these three sub-groups of ecdysteroids was established by LC/multi-stage ion trap mass spectrometry on-line or off-line. The fragmentation patterns of ecdysteroids yielded ions of successive loss of 1,4 water molecules. Furthermore, ions corresponding to the complete loss of the side chain at C-17 will help to identify the sub-groups of ecdysteroids in addition to containing a hydroxyl moiety at one of the above-mentioned positions. Based on the HPLC retention behavior, the diagnostic UV spectra and the molecular structural information provided by ESI-MSn spectra, a total of nine naturally occurring ecdysteroids were identified, of these two are identified for the first time in S. rhombifolia.

[source] Separation of Basic Drugs Using Pressurized Capillary ElectrochromatographyCHINESE JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY, Issue 4 2003Zhang Kai Abstract A novel pressurized capillary electrochromatography (PCEC) was developed to separate basic drugs on strong cation exchange (SCX) column. The separation result by using PCEC was better than that by using micro-HPLC. The effects of electrical field and pressure on plate height and resolution were investigated. Influence of organic modifier, ionic strength and pH value of buffer on retention behavior were evaluated, and the separation mechanism was also discussed. [source] Comparative HPLC enantioseparation of ferrocenylalcohols on two cellulose-based chiral stationary phasesCHIRALITY, Issue 5 2007Angela Patti Abstract The direct HPLC enantiomeric separation of several ferrocenylalcohols on the commercially available Chiralcel OD and Chiralcel OJ columns has been evaluated in normal-phase mode. Almost all the compounds were resolved on one or both chiral stationary phases (CSPs) with separation factor (,) ranging from 1.06 to 2.88 while the resolution (Rs) varied from 0.63 to 12.70 In the separation of the ,-ferrocenylalcohols 1a,e and the phenyl analogues 2a,e, which were all resolved except 1c, a similar trend in the retention behavior for the two series of alcohols was evidenced and the selectivity was roughly complementary on the two investigated CSP. For three ferrocenylacohols, chosen as model compounds, the influence of the mobile phase composition and temperature on the enantioseparation were investigated and additional information on the chiral recognition mechanism were deduced from the chromatographic behavior of their acetylderivatives.

[source] Analyses of preservatives by capillary electrochromatography using methacrylate ester-based monolithic columnsELECTROPHORESIS, Issue 18-19 2004Hsi-Ya Huang Abstract Five common food preservatives were analyzed by capillary electrochromatography, utilizing a methacrylate ester-based monolithic capillary as separation column. In order to optimize the separation of these preservatives, the effects of the pore size of the polymeric stationary phase, the pH and composition of the mobile phase on separation were examined. For all analytes, it was found that an increase in pore size caused a reduction in retention time. However, separation performances were greatly improved in monolithic columns with smaller pore sizes. The pH of the mobile phase had little influence on separation resolution, but a dramatic effect on the amount of sample that was needed to be electrokinetically injected into the monolithic column. In addition, the retention behaviors of these analytes were strongly influenced by the level of acetonitrile in the mobile phase. An optimal separation of the five preservatives was obtained within 7.0 min with a pH 3.0 mobile phase composed of phosphate buffer and acetonitrile 35:65 v/v. Finally, preservatives in real commercial products, including cold syrup, lotion, wine, and soy sauces, were successfully determined by the methacrylate ester-based polymeric monolithic column under this optimized condition. [source] Determination of pKa values of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug-oxicams by RP,HPLC and their analysis in pharmaceutical dosage formsJOURNAL OF SEPARATION SCIENCE, JSS, Issue 17 2009Ebru Cubuk Demiralay Abstract In this study, pKa values were determined by using the dependence of the capacity factor on the pH of the mobile phase for four ionizable substances, namely, tenoxicam, piroxicam, meloxicam, and naproxen (I.S.). The effect of the mobile phase composition on the ionization constant was studied by measuring the pKa at different ACN concentrations, ranging from 30 to 40%. The adequate condition for the chromatographic determination of these compounds in pharmaceutical dosage forms was established based on the different retention behaviors of the species. An octadecylsilica Nucleosil C18 column (150×4.6 mm, 5 ,m) was used for all the determinations. The chromatographic separation of oxicams was carried out using acetonitrile (ACN)/water at 35% v/v, containing 65 mM phosphoric acid and UV detection at a wavelength of 355 nm. The method developed was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of these drug compounds in laboratory-prepared mixtures and their commercial pharmaceutical dosage forms. Each analysis requires no longer than 12 min. [source] Preparation and characterization of C16 monolithic columns for capillary electrochromatographyJOURNAL OF SEPARATION SCIENCE, JSS, Issue 3 2005Kai Zhang Abstract A series of methacrylamide-based C16 monolithic columns were prepared and characterized to determine how their porous structural properties and chromatographic behavior are affected by the percentages of functional monomer, base monomer, and cross-linker in the polymerization solution. Baseline separation of 6 neutral compounds can be readily obtained in an optimized column. Furthermore, the effects of organic additive in the mobile phase, operating voltages, and temperature on retention behaviors and separation efficiencies were also studied. The separation mechanism is also discussed. High column efficiency and good reproducibility indicate that the monolithic columns hold considerable promise. [source] | |||||||||||||
