Twenty-eight chiral compounds were separated from their enantiomers by HPLC on a teicoplanin chiral stationary phase. Figure 8-12 shows some of the structures contained in the data set. This is a very complex stationary phase and modeling of the possible interactions with the analytes is impracticable. In such a situation, learning from known examples seemed more appropriate, and the chirality code looked quite appealing for representing such data. 

The enantiomeric excess of 3.10c has been determined by HPLC analysis using a Daicel Chiracel OD column and eluting with a 60 / 1 (v/v) hexane(HPLC-grade) / 2-propanol(p.a.) mixture. At a flow of 1 ml per minute the rentention times for the different isomers of 3.10c were 6.3 min. (exo, major enantiomer) 7.1 min. (exo, minor enantiomer) 7.7 min. (endo, major enantiomer) 10.7 min. (endo, minor enantiomer). 

A mixture of methyl paraben, ethyl paraben, propyl paraben, diethyl phthalate, and butyl paraben is separated by HPLC. This experiment emphasizes the development of a mobile-phase composition capable of separating the mixture. A photodiode array detector demonstrates the coelution of the two compounds. 

The amount of caffeine in an analgesic tablet was determined by HPLC using a normal calibration curve. Standard solutions of caffeine were prepared and analyzed using a lO-pL fixed-volume injection loop. Results for the standards are summarized in the following table. 

Before polyacrylamides are sold, the amount of residual acrylamide is determined. In one method, the monomer is extracted from the polymer and the acrylamide content is determined by hplc (153). A second method is based on analysis by cationic exchange chromatography (154). For dry products the particle si2e distribution can be quickly determined by use of a shaker and a series of test sieves. Batches with small particles can present a dust ha2ard. The percentage of insoluble material is determined in both dry and emulsion products. 

Medroxyprog esteroneAcetate. Accurate pharmacokinetic and metaboHsm studies on MPA have been difficult because the radioimmunoassays employed caimot differentiate between MPA and its metaboHtes (346). Comparison of MPA plasma levels assayed by hplc and radioimmunoassay show that radioimmunoassay may overestimate intact MPA concentrations by about fivefold (347). However, values of the mean elimination half-life of MPA were similar, being 33.8 and 39.7 h when measured by hplc and radioimmunoassay, respectively (347). Approximately 94% of MPA in the blood is bound to albumin (348). When taken orally, MPA is rapidly absorbed with Htde or no first-pass metaboHsm (13). Peak semm levels ate reached after 3 h. Steady state occurs after three days of daily adininistration (349). The pharmacokinetics of MPA when adininistered in a depot formulation have been described (350). 

High Performance Liquid Chromatography (hpic). Hplc is currently the fastest growing analytical method and is now available in many laboratories. DL-Analysis by hplc has already been described and hplc methods have been reviewed (122). 

Sugar analysis by hplc has advanced greatly as a result of the development of columns specifically designed for carbohydrate separation. These columns fall into several categories. (/) Aminopropyl-bonded siHca used in reverse-phase mode with acetonitrile—water as the eluent. (2) Ion-moderated cation-exchange resins using water as the eluent. Efficiency of these columns is enhanced at elevated temperature, ca 80—90°C. Calcium is the usual counterion for carbohydrate analysis, but lead, silver, hydrogen, sodium, and potassium are used to confer specific selectivities for mono-, di-, and... 

Other Phenolic Compounds. There are several phenolic acids important to tea chemistry. GaUic acid (3) and its quinic acid ester, theogallin (4), have been identified in tea (17,18) and have been detected by hplc (19,20). 

Physical Methods. Vitamins D2 and D exhibit uv absorption curves that have a maximum at 264 nm and an (absorbance) of 450—490 at 1% concentration (Table 8). The various isomers of vitamin D exhibit characteristically different uv absorption curves. Mixtures of the isomers are difficult to distinguish. However, when chromatographicaHy separated by hplc, the peaks can be identified by stop-flow techniques based on uv absorption scanning or by photodiodearray spectroscopy. The combination of elution time and characteristic uv absorption curves can be used to identify the isomers present in a sample of vitamin D. 

Various methods for the glc monitoring of EPA Consent Decree Priority PoUutants in water have been described (36) (see Regulatory agencies). The deterrnination of organic poUutants in water by glc and ms methods has also been detailed (37,38). Nonvolatile organic compounds in drinking water have been determined by hplc (39) (see Water, pollution). 

Bleomycin sulfate USP, a white or yellowish powder, is very soluble in water and sparingly soluble in alcohol. It is 55—70% bleomycin A2 and 25—32% bleomycin based on total bleomycin base content as deterruined by hplc. This combination was found to be more effective than use of either bleomycin alone (234).

An azo coupling reaction of monatomic phenols with diazotized 4-nitroaniline has been investigated. By HPLC, NMR, elemental analysis, UV and IR spectroscopy it has been shown that the azo derivatives of o-guaiacol, o- and m-cresols interact with an excess of diazonium in pH interval of 4,5-9,5 and form corresponding 4,4-di(4-nitrophenylazo)-2,5-cyclohexadien-1 -ones. 

The results obtained have allowed us to develop the analytical procedures for the preconcentration and determination of microquantities of the monatomic phenols, aromatic amines and total volatile primary amines by HPLC and photometric methods. 

On considering the solvent consumption and waste generation, it is clear that NIR measurements reduce drastically the amount of CH CN consumed compared with the HPLC procedure. On the other hand, the sample frequency obtained by the NIR methodology was higher than those obtained by HPLC. 

The recent development and comparative application of modern separation techniques with regard to determination of alkylphosphonic acids and lewisite derivatives have been demonstrated. This report highlights advantages and shortcomings of GC equipped with mass spectrometry detector and HPLC as well as CE with UV-Vis detector. The comparison was made from the sampling point of view and separation/detection ability. The derivatization procedure for GC of main degradation products of nerve agents to determine in water samples was applied. Direct determination of lewisite derivatives by HPLC-UV was shown. Also optimization of indirect determination of alkylphosphonic acids in CE-UV was developed. Finally, the new instrumental development and future trends will be discussed.

A powerful tool now employed is that of diode array detection (DAD). This function allows peaks detected by UV to be scanned, and provides a spectral profile for each suspected microcystin. Microcystins have characteristic absorption profiles in the wavelength range 200-300 nm, and these can be used as an indication of identity without the concomitant use of purified microcystin standards for all variants. A HPLC-DAD analytical method has also been devised for measurement of intracellular and extracellular microcystins in water samples containing cyanobacteria. This method involves filtration of the cyanobacteria from the water sample. The cyanobacterial cells present on the filter are extracted with methanol and analysed by HPLC. The filtered water is subjected to solid-phase clean-up using C g cartridges, before elution with methanol and then HPLC analysis. 

Not all cyanobacterial blooms and scums contain detectable levels of toxins. Indeed, the incidence of toxicity detection by mouse bioassay, and toxin detection by HPLC among environmental samples, ranges from about 40% to However, in view of this high occurrence, it is the policy of regulatory authorities and water supply operators in some countries to assume that blooms of cyanobacteria are toxic until tested and found to be otherwise. In the absence of available analytical facilities or expertise or for logistical reasons, this precautionary principle should be regarded as sensible and prudent.

Polypeptides. These are a string of a-amino acids usually with the natural 5(L) [L-cysteine is an exception and has the R absolute configuration] or sometimes "unnatural" 7f(D) configuration at the a-carbon atom. They generally have less than -100 amino acid residues. They can be naturally occurring or, because of their small size, can be synthesised chemically from the desired amino acids. Their properties can be very similar to those of small proteins. Many are commercially available, can be custom made commercially or locally with a peptide synthesiser. They are purified by HPLC and can be used without further purification. Their purity can be checked as described under proteins.

Separation of enantiomers by physical or chemical methods requires the use of a chiral material, reagent, or catalyst. Both natural materials, such as polysaccharides and proteins, and solids that have been synthetically modified to incorporate chiral structures have been developed for use in separation of enantiomers by HPLC. The use of a chiral stationary phase makes the interactions between the two enantiomers with the adsorbent nonidentical and thus establishes a different rate of elution through the column. The interactions typically include hydrogen bonding, dipolar interactions, and n-n interactions. These attractive interactions may be disturbed by steric repulsions, and frequently the basis of enantioselectivity is a better steric fit for one of the two enantiomers. ...
