Unlike the more popular reversed-phase chromatographic mode, normal-phase chromatography employs polar stationary phases, and retention is modulated mainly with nonpolar eluents. The stationary phase is either (a) an inorganic adsorbent like silica or alumina or (b) a polar bonded phase containing cyano, diol, or amino functional groups on a silica support. Tlie mobile phase is usually a nonaqueous mixture of organic solvents. As the polarity of the mobile phase decreases, retention in normal-phase chromatography...

Equilibration times vary widely with the type of chromatography and the history of the column. A colunm that had previously been equilibrated and was stored in the mobile phase should be up and running within a few, maybe 10, column volumes, provided the new mobile phase is really identical to the old mobile phase. If the column was stored in a solvent other than the mobile phase, equilibration times vary with the chromatographic mode. Normal-phase chromatography using silica or alumina columns may take a long time for equilibration several days at a flow rate of 1 column volume per minute have bran observed. The equilibration with normal-phase bonded phases is faster. 

Reversed phase chiral separations are desired simply for efficiency in generating results from laboratories whose instrumentation is routinely configured to run in reversed and not normal phase modes.Normal phase conditions are less attractive to the analytical chemist for this reason and deter laboratory efficiency. Typical commercial chiral LC columns found on pharmaceutical reversed phase LC chiral method development screens are listed in Table 8. Table 11 shows suggested chromatographic conditions employed in reversed phase chiral screening. 

Macrocyclic glycopeptides. The first of these CSPs - based on the cavity of the antibiotic vancomycin bound to silica - was introduced by Armstrong [25]. Two more polycyclic antibiotics teicoplanin and ristocetin A, were also demonstrated later. These selectors are quite rugged and operate adequately in both normal-phase and reversed-phase chromatographic modes. However, only a limited number of such selectors is available, and their cost is rather high. 

From the general framework of the Snyder and Soczewinski model of the linear adsorption TLC, two very simple relationships were derived, which proved extremely useful for rapid prediction of solute retention in the thin-layer chromatographic systems employing binary mobile phases. One of them (known as the Soczewinski equation) proved successful in the case of the adsorption and the normal phase TLC modes. Another (known as the Snyder equation) proved similarly successful in the case of the reversed-phase TLC mode. 

Liquid chromatographic clean up [441,443,450] has been used either in normal phase flow using alumina, silica, or florisil [22,189,403,481,484] or with reverse-phase (RP) columns [409,452,480]. In most cases these techniques are well established and are used in an off-line mode, primarily to remove the bulk of co-extracted materials prior to a more refined clean-up prior to the final determination. These columns may be prepared in the laboratory [22,403 -405] or commercial solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridges can be used [409,452, 463,470,485,486]. In both cases, the normal phase cartridges and column materials are disposable since many of the polar co-extractants bind firmly to the substrate surface and are difficult to remove. This has been overcome to some... 

Cellulose and amylose derivative CSPs are mostly used, in the normal-phase mode, with n-hexane-based mobile phases containing some alcohol as modifier. Chromatographic performances, retention and selectivity, are reported to be affected by the composition of the mobile phase...
