This chapter describes the more commonly used methods of quantitation, with brief discussions on the theory. For more information on the use of computers and quantitation, see Braithwaite and Smith.10 An excellent account of chromatographic integration methods for peak identification, validation, and quantitation is provided in the text by Dyson.11...

A number of recommendations has been made in the development of quantitative chromatographic methods. ASTM disclosed substantial laboratory-to-laboratory differences in quantitative HPLC analyses [62]. A text describes the chromatographic integration methods for peak identification, validation and quantitation [63]. 

Chromatographic peak areas were measured by both manual and mechanical integration methods. Total analysis time was less than one hour per sample. 

In an effort to speed up the rate of analysis, several researchers have experimented with gradient elution at flow rates that vastly exceed the optimum linear velocity predicted by the Van Deemter equation. Romanyshyn and co-workers have shown the ability to retain chromatographic integrity with ultrafast gradients (e.g., 1.5 mL/min on a 2 x 20-mm column) [84,85]. By direct comparison to isocratic methods, the authors further demonstrated... 

In case of a stable and stationary chromatographic system, the derived general theory is certainly usable for calculating quantitatively uncertainties and detection limits in signal integrating methods like chromatography. However, an extensive analysis of the detector noise is required and the use of a computer with a data acquisition system and special software is inevitable. 

Integration of the peaks for the two diastereomers accurately quantifies the relative amounts of each enantiomer within the mixture. Such diastereometic derivatives may also be analy2ed by more accurate methods such as gc or hplc. One drawback to diastereometic detivatization is that it requites at least 15 mg of material, which is likely to be material painstakingly synthesized, isolated, and purified. The use of analytical chiral chromatographic methods allows for the direct quantification of enantiomeric purity, is highly accurate to above 99.8% ee, and requites less than one milligram of material. 

Overall, the technical complexity of the Deans switch system is considerably greater than that of a mechanical switching valve and it is accepted that reliability and ease of use is reduced as the system complexity increases. For many compound types, however, the completely non-intrusive nature of the Deans method offers sufficient advantages to justify its application. However, the use of modern electronic pressure and flow controls integrated into the overall computer control of the chromatographic system does now make the operation of Deans switches significantly easier or more reliable than has been reported in its earlier applications.
