Optimization automated

Rather than the separation function, resolution between individual peak pairs is used in most automated optimization procedures because it is easier to calculate, although non-Gaussian pe2dcs and overlapping peaks can present problems due to the difficulty of estimating peak widths. A simple objective function would be to consider only the separation between the worst separated peak pair, ignoring all others. If a set of... 

These examples illustrate the power of proper ANN feature space optimization. In all the examples discussed, the limits of the type of information that could be gleaned from the Salmonella PyMAB spectra were probed. The PD-ANN s automated optimization removed the issue of methodological uncertainty and enabled a focus on questions of Py-MAB-MS spectral information content and its potential use for rapid strain ID. Question Does Py-MAB-MS data support Serovar classification Answer Yes. How about PFGE classification Yes. How about antibiotic resistance profile Answer Perhaps, if one first eliminates stronger contributions to spectral variation and then, by design and grouping, limits the possibilities to only a few classes.

Adequate resolution of the components of a mixture in the shortest possible time is nearly always a principal goal. Establishing the optimum conditions by trial and error is inefficient and relies heavily on the expertise of the analyst. The development of computer-controlled HPLC systems has enabled systematic automated optimization techniques, based on statistical experimental design and mathematical resolution functions, to be exploited. The basic choices of column (stationary phase) and detector are made first followed by an investigation of the mobile phase composition and possibly other parameters. This can be done manually but computer-controlled optimization has the advantage of releasing the analyst for other...

The first results of optimization in chromatography were published in 1975 Since then a growing number of optimization experiments in HPLC using the Simplex procedure has been reported (table 9). The examples are mainly reversed-phase separations, in which the composition of the ternary or binary mobile phase composition is optimized. The factors optimized are usually a selection from flow rate, column temperature and length, the eluents constitution (e.g. organic modifier content, buffer concentration and pH), the gradient shape. Seven years after the first applications of Simplex optimization had appeared, the first fully automated optimization of HPLC separations was published by Berridge in 1982. This development coincid-...

The advantage of the simplified procedure described by de Smet et al. is the use of only one column and six solvents, which enhances the possibilities for fully automated optimization on relatively simple commercial instruments. The disadvantages are that the column of intermediate polarity could lead to a reduced general selectivity in both modes (see figure 3.8) and the long equilibration procedure (about 2 hours, involving several gradients), which is required to switch from the reversed phase to the normal phase mode and vice versa.

In addition to aspects of early small-scale production, the development process itself can take advantage of MRT. It is interesting to note that already standardized microreaction systems are commercially available that allow sequential operations and, moreover, coupling to in-Hne analytical facilities [24]. Obviously, these devices are high-throughput tools for the combinatorial optimization of continuous reactions, e.g. the fully automated optimization of a reaction by the aid of DoE (Design of Experiments) can be reahzed within a few hours.

This library approach probed several key parameters involved in star formation (1) MW of the linear arms of the stars (2) the amoimt of cross-linking agent (3) the type of cross-linking agent (4) the use of comonomer and (5) the effect of concentration and solvent. Using a Symyx core module and a 96-well aluminum-cast glass vial reartor, the entire library of reaction conditions could rapidly be set up in 2-4 h. Automated optimization of the styrene/BMI ratio was first carried out by testing the full matrix with different molar equivalents of each component tmder constant temperature...
