Presentation Transcript

  1. High Performance Liquid Chromatography

  2. HPLC originally refered to: High Pressure Liquid Chromatography currently refers to: High Precision Liquid Chromatography • high pressure to be able to use small particle size to allow proper separation at reasonable flow rates

  3. “Applications of Liquid Chromatography” Partition chromatography Adsorption, or liquid-solid chromatography Ion exchange chromatography Size exclusion, or gel, chromatography

  4. Components Solvent Reservoir and Degassing System Pumps Precolumns Sample Injection System Columns Temperature Control Detectors

  5. “Schematic of an apparatus for HPLC”

  6. Components Solvent Reservoir and Degassing System • isocratic elution - single solvent separation technique • gradiant elution - 2 or more solvents, varied during separation

  7. Isocratic mixture of A (aqueous buffer) and B (acetontrile) Isocratic elution: “performed with a single solvent (or constant solvent mixture)”

  8. Gradient Elution Gradient elution: “continuous change of solvent composition to increase eluent strength”

  9. Improvement in separation efficiency by gradient elution. Column: 1m x 2.1mm id, precision-bore stainless; packing: 1% PermaphaseR ODS. Sample: 5mL of chlorinated benzenes in isopropanol. Detector: UV photometer (254 nm). Conditions: temperature 60oC, pressure, 1200 psi.

  10. Components Pumps • 1000 - 6000 psi at rate of @ 3 mL/min • reproducible to 2% • screw driven syringe • reciprocating pump

  11. “A reciprocating pump for HPLC.”

  12. Components Precolumns • remove impurities from solvent • saturates mobile phase with liquid of stationary phase before the analytical column

  13. Components Sample Injection System • sample valve • syringe

  14. “A sampling loop for liquid chromatography”

  15. Components http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPO7Tv2mIJU Columns • straight, 15 to 150 cm in length; 2 to 3 mm i.d. • packing - silica gel, alumina, Celite Normal phase – Polar Stationary Phase and Nonpolar Solvent Reverse phase – Nonpolar Stationary Phase and Polar Solvent Size exclusion (gel permeation) - Small molecules penetrate into the pores within the packing while larger molecules only partially penetrate the pores. The large molecules elute before the smaller molecules.

  16. Effect of Particle Size

  17. Columns Cont.

  18. Components Temperature Control

  19. Components Detectors • single wavelength UV • tuneable UV • diode-array • refractive index • MS

  20. Performances of LC Detectors

  21. Ultraviolet detector cell for HPLC

  22. Diode-ArrayAbsorption Spectra “Absorption spectra of the eluent from a mixture of three steroids taken at 5-second intervals.”
