Chromatography chromatogram resolution

The general elution problem in chromatography. Improving the resolution of the overlapping bands in chromatogram (a) results in a longer analysis time for chromatogram (b). 

Figure 6.5 shows a chromatogram of Epikote 1004 using the KE-600 series and SYSTEM-24H (a newly developed GPC system used with the KF-600 series for full utilization of the efficiency of the downsized columns). Compared with conventional-sized columns such as the KF-800 series, the time of analysis is shortened to one-half and the chromatographie resolution is improved.

The cycloalkylcarbamates do not absorb UV light above 220 nm and therefore can be used as the CSPs for thin-layer chromatography (TLC).191 The TLC chromatogram was readily detected by UV radiation at 254 nm and showed the resolution of racemates into each enantiomer. The TLC results can be compared with those obtained by HPLC with the same CSP. The a values in HPLC are slightly larger than those in TLC, although a good correlation is observed between these a values. The cycloalkylcarbamates can be very useful CSPs for TLC as well as for HPLC resolution. 

The modern analytical laboratory employing instrumental chromatography uses a computer data collection system and associated software to acquire the data and display the chromatogram on the monitor. Parameters important for qualitative and quantitative analysis, including retention times and peak areas, are also measured and displayed. The software can also analyze the data to determine resolution, capacity factor, theoretical plates, and selectivity.

Gel permeation chromatography Is the method of choice for analysis of thermoplastic resin systems. Corrected for imperfect resolution, chromatogram interpretation yields accurate molecular descriptions, including theoretical, kinetic distributions (, ) The current research is designed to extend the utility of this analytical tool to the analysis of thermoset resins.
