Buffers Buffered eluents

Wash the completely packed column with buffer (eluent) until a constant flow rate is obtained. The eluent volume should be at least fivefold that of the bed volume. 

The organoarsenical particulates are extracted ultrasonically from the filters for 30 minutes in 25 mL of an aqueous carbonate/ bicarbonate/borate buffer (Eluent 1, Table I). After sonication the resulting extracts are ready for analysis and no further sample preparation is necessary. 

Moriyasu et al. (267) developed a method to detect CF, TB, and TP in foodstuffs. Solid food was dialyzed for 1 hour against hot water, chewing gum was extracted in hot water, and liquid samples were diluted with phosphoric acid. The extracts were passed in a BakerBond SFE cartridge. The eluate (with ammonium-MeOH-15% NaCl solution) was analyzed by HPLC-UV (275 nm) on a Cosmosil 5C 18-AR column, with ACN-phosphate buffer eluent. The DL was 10yug/g.

For exanple, it can be seen in Fig. 3, that the highest possible k values for the phenolic solutes are lower than desirable, even in pure water as eluent. The solubility of these phenolic compounds is also low in pure water. Therefore, as a oenpremise between the opposing requirements of sufficient retention and high solubility, a carrier solution oenpositien of 10 % methanol water was selected for the further studies. Similarly, it can be seen from Fig. 5, that the k values of the Ibuprofen enantiomers are around 10 in the 30 % acetonitrile buffer eluent, therefore this conposition was selected for the carrier solution for the displacement chromatographic studies. 

Since the chloroanilines are sufficiently retained (k >5) in a 10 % v/v methanol water eluent, and the Ibuprofen enantiomers are sufficiently retained in a 30 % v/v acetonitrile buffer eluent, these solvents were selected as carrier solvents for the displacement chromatographic separations. Also, these solvents were used to determine the adsorption isotherms of p-nitrophenol and 4-t-butylcyclohexanol on beta-cyclodextrin silica. The isotherms were determined from frontal chromatographic measurements as described in (56). The isotherms are shown in Figs. 7 and 8. Since both isotherms are downwardly convex, p-nitrophenol and 4-t-butylcyclohexanol might prove useful displacers for our test solutes, provided that they are more strongly adsorbed that the solutes. 

Owing to their intrinsic basicity, marine invertebrate guanidine alkaloids have a rather polar behavior and their isolation from complex mixtures may be difficult. Isolation procedures frequently include chromatography on lipophilic Sephadex LH20, on reversed phase silica gel (such as Cig bonded, aminopropyl bonded, or cyanopropyl bonded), or even on ion-exchange resins. HPLC purification using acidic (TFA) or buffered eluents have frequently been employed. 

In this approach, repeated injections of small HSA amounts are made into the immunoadsorbent column at intervals of a few minutes [22). After column saturation, the regeneration is achieved with a washing step that uses an acidic-buffer eluent. A second adsorption experiment is performed after equilibrating the column with the initial buffer. The model describing the split-peak effect in nonlinear chromatography [20] was used to analyze such experiments [Eq. (19)]. 

Scenario 4. Buffered eluents must be used when analyzing ionizable species, lonizable species are prone to solvation by the mobile-phase components and the solvation equilbira may lead to poor peak shapes. In Figures 8-12A and 8-12B, two acidic compounds, benzoic acid (pKa 4.2) and sorbic acid (pKa 4.8), are analyzed at pH 3.5 (a pH lower than the analyte pKa) and at pH 7.0 (a pH greater than the analyte pKa). Acceptable peak shapes are obtained at both... 

Interpretation of logA as the logarithm of the HPLC capacity factor corresponding to the pure water (buffer) eluent may be misleading. Still, the determination of the log A appears to be the most reliable means of standardization of the retention parameters when preprocessing them for QSRR analysis [ 12.18). 

In Fig. 11.7 the distribution of drugs belonging to several pharmacological clas.ses on the plane determined by the first two principal components account together for 81.5% of the variability in the retention data measured from 8 HPLC systems I50. The HPLC systems comprised stationary phases such as standard and specially deactivated hydrocarbonaceous silicas, polybutadiene-coated alumina, immobilized artificial membrane and immobilized Oi-acid glycoprotein. Methanol-buffer eluents of varying compositions and pH were used. The clustering of analytes is consistent with their estab-... 

Table 4.6 HPLC elution gradient program used for analysis of biogenic amine benzoyl chloride derivatives. Eluent A) 0.40 M sodium dodecyl sulfate aqueous solution buffered to pH 3.0 with 0.02M phosphate buffer, eluent B) acetonitrile.

Figure 7 illustrates how an isocratic method was developed for the resolution of the two compounds. The compounds coeluted after 2.4 min using an eluent of 65% v/v acetonitrile/water (Fig. 7A). As the acetonitrile concentration was progressively decreased, resolution was improved and retention was increased. It can be seen that this also results in much broader peaks. Partial resolution was observed when the organic modifier concentration was 55% v/v (Fig. 7B), near-baseline resolution was seen at 50% v/v (Fig. 7C), and complete resolution was achieved when the organic modifier concentration was 45% v/v (Fig. 7D). It can be seen from the structures that these metabolites bear an abundance of ionizable phenolic hydroxyls, and this feature necessitated the use of a buffered eluent for preparative work (see Subheading 2.3.2.).

Buffered eluents are important for the separation of ionic solutes because they maintain a constant desired pH. Very often, only a defined and constant pH (therefore a buffer) will allow the desired selectivity and reproducibility. So far, so good. Sometimes, you adopt a method with 5 mM salt in the mobile phase, while the next method uses 100 mM or even 150 mM solutions. Sometimes you simply do not know, as in the following example Weigh out jr mg of salt X and add y ml of acid Y or base Z How critical is the ionic strength and how does the ionic. strength influence the separation and column lifetime ...

The use of a chiral liquid stationary phase. The packing of an LC column, e.g., silica, is coated with a film of a liquid, optically pure compound that must not be soluble in the mobile phase used. A possible phase pair is a tartrate derivative in combination with an aqueous buffer eluent. The handling of such liquid-liquid chromatographic systems is not simple, which is why they are not often used, and they are...

The /i-Bondagel grades cover a wide fractionation range of 2 to 7000 kllodaltons. They are compatible with water and buffered eluents and offer a high temperature stability of up to 408 K. A large number of aqueous SEC separations on these packings has been reported In the literature, e.g. for sulphonated polystyrenes and other anionic polyelectrolytes, poly(vlnylalco-hols) , polysaccharides , proteins and enzymes . 

Proteln-Pak comprises a series of 3 columns of graduated pore sizes, matching a molecular weight separation range of 1 to 500 kllodaltons. Since the product Is compatible with buffered eluents at pH s between 2.0 to 7.5 and stable towards denaturing eluents (e.g. 6 M urea). It Is employed In protein and enzyme SEC separatIons. 

As can easily be seen, the a values are indeed suitable for this. If, nevertheless, one wants to use k values, then problematical compounds are best suited for this, e.g., polar analytes in tmbuffered eluents (e.g., k Cos, caffeine) or strong acids in buffered eluents (k Phs, phthalic add and k Tes, terephthalic acid). 

Considering several criteria and a weighting, which need not be explained here in detail, the following phases can be denoted as some of the most polar types. These phases also show a low affinity for hydrophobic analytes and an enhanced selectivity for strong ionic pairs of analytes in buffered eluents. 

The best selectivity is found in imbuffered methanol/water eluents, and the best peak symmetry in acetonitrile/addic buffer eluents. 

In buffered eluents, polar substances can be efficiently separated using polar phases and apolar compoimds using apolar phases. 

In the case of an unbuffered eluent, a contrast between the character of the analyte and the stationary phase is necessary, while in the case of a buffered eluent a similarity is needed to obtain good selectivity.
