Photodiode array analysis

Purity of nicotinic acid peak confirmed by photodiode array spectral analysis. 

Hplc techniques are used to routinely separate and quantify less volatile compounds. The hplc columns used to affect this separation are selected based on the constituents of interest. They are typically reverse phase or anion exchange in nature. The constituents routinely assayed in this type of analysis are those high in molecular weight or low in volatility. Specific compounds of interest include wood sugars, vanillin, and tannin complexes. The most common types of hplc detectors employed in the analysis of distilled spirits are the refractive index detector and the ultraviolet detector. Additionally, the recent introduction of the photodiode array detector is making a significant impact in the analysis of distilled spirits. 

A method which uses supercritical fluid/solid phase extraction/supercritical fluid chromatography (SE/SPE/SEC) has been developed for the analysis of trace constituents in complex matrices (67). By using this technique, extraction and clean-up are accomplished in one step using unmodified SC CO2. This step is monitored by a photodiode-array detector which allows fractionation. Eigure 10.14 shows a schematic representation of the SE/SPE/SEC set-up. This system allowed selective retention of the sample matrices while eluting and depositing the analytes of interest in the cryogenic trap. Application to the analysis of pesticides from lipid sample matrices have been reported. In this case, the lipids were completely separated from the pesticides.

Membrane separation coupled on-line to a flow-injection system was employed for the monitoring of propazine and terbutryn in natural water. A microporous hydro-phobic membrane was utilized in which the analytes were extracted from the aqueous medium into an organic solvent that was carried to the flow cell of a photodiode-array spectrophotometer. The LCDs were 4-5 qg so the technique could potentially be used for screening purposes. Samples with positive detection would require further analysis.

A Waters 2690 Alliance HPLC equipped with a 996 photodiode array and a 896 IJV/Vis detector was used for carotenoid analysis. The column (Phenomenex, Torrance, CA) was a 250x4.6mm Ultracarb 3 pm C-18 stationary phase and elution was carried out isocratically at a flowrate of l.OmL/min with 85 15 (v v) acetonitrileimethanol (HPLC grade) containing 0.1% triethyl amine to prevent on-column carotenoid decomposition.

D1 (10,17S-docosatriene) from DHA using tandem liquid chromatography-photodiode array-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-PDA-ESI-MS-MS)-based lipidomic analysis have been documented in ischemic brain [4] and retinal pigment epithelium [5], This new lipid is called neuroprotectin D1 (1) because of its neuro-protectiveproperties in brain ischemia-reperfusion [4] and in oxidative stress-challenged retinal pigment epithelial cells [5] (2) because of its potent ability to inactivate proapoptotic signaling (see apoptosis, Ch. 35) [5] and (3) because it is the first identified neuroprotective mediator derived from DHA. 

Micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography with photodiode array detection was used for the determination of polyaromatic hydrocarbons in soil [65]. A detection limit of lOpg and linear calibration over five orders were observed. Compared to a standard gas chromatographic analysis method, the miscellar electrokinetic chromatographic method is faster, has a higher mass sensitivity and requires smaller sample sizes.

Instrnmentation for UV-vis process analysis falls into fonr categories scanning instruments, diode-array instrnments, photometers, and fiber-optic spectrophotometers with photodiode-array (PDA) and charge-conpled device (CCD) detectors. The former two are more typically enconntered in at-line or near-line applications, whereas the latter two are better snited to actnal on-line analyses. 

Figure 4 presents an example of rapid pKa measurement using a pressure-assisted system in combination with a photodiode array (PDA) detector. The migration time of DMSO (EOF marker) was measured at 220 nm, whereas the migration time of the analyte, naphazoline, was measured at 270 nm. The CE run time as well as data analysis time was drastically reduced. Consequently, this system allows the analysis of more than 96 compounds in one day. The limitation of this method is the application to drugs without UV chromophore at more than 250 nm. In some cases, it was effective to remove DMSO by evaporation under vacuum followed by the addition of methanol or acetonitrile as a neutral marker.
