Size-exclusion chromatography can be carried out using conventional HPLC instrumentation, replacing the HPLC column with an appropriate size-exclusion column. A UV/Vis detector is the most common means for obtaining the chromatogram. 

This reversed-phase chromatography method was successfully used in a production-scale system to purify recombinant insulin. The insulin purified by reversed-phase chromatography has a biological potency equal to that obtained from a conventional system employing ion-exchange and size-exclusion chromatographies (14). The reversed-phase separation was, however, followed by a size-exclusion step to remove the acetonitrile eluent from the final product (12,14). 

Traditionally, chiral separations have been considered among the most difficult of all separations. Conventional separation techniques, such as distillation, Hquid—Hquid extraction, or even some forms of chromatography, are usually based on differences in analyte solubiUties or vapor pressures. However, in an achiral environment, enantiomers or optical isomers have identical physical and chemical properties. The general approach, then, is to create a "chiral environment" to achieve the desired chiral separation and requires chiral analyte—chiral selector interactions with more specificity than is obtainable with conventional techniques. 

Chemical assay is preferably performed by gas—hquid chromatography (glc) or by the conventional methods for determination of unsaturation such as bromination or addition of mercaptan, sodium bisulfite, or mercuric acetate. 

Trityl Ethers. Treatment of sucrose with four molar equivalents of chlorotriphenylmethyl chloride (trityl chloride) in pyridine gives, after acetylation and chromatography, 6,1, 6 -tri-O-tritylsucrose [35674-14-7] and 6,6 -di-O-tritylsucrose [35674-15-8] in 50 and 30% yield, respectively (16). Conventional acetylation of 6,1, 6 -tri-O-tritylsucrose, followed by detritylation and concomitant C-4 to C-6 acetyl migration using aqueous acetic acid, yields a pentaacetate, which on chlorination using thionyl chloride in pyridine and deacetylation produces 4,l, 6 -trichloro-4,l, 6 -trideoxygalactosucrose [56038-13-2] (sucralose), alow calorie sweetener (17). 

A number of analytical methods have been developed for the determination of chlorotoluene mixtures by gas chromatography. These are used for determinations in environments such as air near industry (62) and soil (63). Liquid crystal stationary columns are more effective in separating m- and chlorotoluene than conventional columns (64). Prepacked columns are commercially available. ZeoHtes have been examined extensively as a means to separate chlorotoluene mixtures (see Molecularsieves). For example, a Y-type 2eohte containing sodium and copper has been used to separate y -chlorotoluene from its isomers by selective absorption (65). The presence of ben2ylic impurities in chlorotoluenes is determined by standard methods for hydroly2able chlorine. Proton (66) and carbon-13 chemical shifts, characteristic in absorption bands, and principal mass spectral peaks are available along with sources of reference spectra (67). 

Analytical Supercritical Fluid Extraction and Chromatography Supercritical fluids, especially CO9, are used widely to extrac t a wide variety of solid and hquid matrices to obtain samples for analysis. Benefits compared with conventional Soxhlet extraction include minimization of solvent waste, faster extraction, tunabihty of solvent strength, and simple solvent removal with minimal solvent contamination in the sample. Compared with high-performance liquid chromatography, the number of theoretical stages is higher in... 

Isolation procedures for many biochemicals are based on chromatography. Practically any substance can be selected from a crude mixture and eluted at relatively high purity from a chromatographic column with the right combination of adsorbent, conditions, and eluant. For bench scale or for a small pilot plant, such chromatography has rendered alternate procedures such as electrophoresis nearly obsolete. Unfortunately, as size increases, dispersion in the column ruins resolution. To produce small amounts or up to tens of kilograms per year, chromatography is an excellent choice. When the scale-up problem is solved, these procedures should displace some of the conventional steps in the chemical process industries. 

Conventional elution chromatography has the serious disadvantage of dilution, and usually a concentration step must follow. The technique of displacement chromatography circumvents dilution and may even result in an eluant more concentrated than the feed. A displacer compound breaks the desired product from the chromatographic material sharply, and a column heavily loaded with several biochemicals will release them one at a time depending on their adsorption equilibria. However, the displacers tena to be expensive and can be troublesome to remove from the product. 

MLC enables to analyse drugs and active phamiaceutical substances without using special column and lai ge quantity of organic solvents. So, from the point of view of pharmaceutical analysis ecology and green chemistry conception, assay with MLC using will be better than conventional reversed-phase chromatography. 

The abundance of a trace element is often too small to be accurately quantihed using conventional analytical methods such as ion chromatography or mass spectrometry. It is possible, however, to precisely determine very low concentrations of a constituent by measuring its radioactive decay properties. In order to understand how U-Th series radionuclides can provide such low-level tracer information, a brief review of the basic principles of radioactive decay and the application of these radionuclides as geochronological tools is useful. " The U-Th decay series together consist of 36 radionuclides that are isotopes (same atomic number, Z, different atomic mass, M) of 10 distinct elements (Figure 1). Some of these are very short-lived (tj j 1 -nd are thus not directly useful as marine tracers. It is the other radioisotopes with half-lives greater than 1 day that are most useful and are the focus of this chapter. 

Synthetic organic polymers, which are used as polymeric supports for chromatography, as catalysts, as solid-phase supports for peptide and oligonucleotide synthesis, and for diagnosis, are based mainly on polystyrene, polystyrene-divinylbenzene, polyacrylamide, polymethacrylates, and polyvinyl alcohols. A conventional suspension of polymerization is usually used to produce these organic polymeric supports, especially in large-scale industrial production. 

New templated polymer support materials have been developed for use as re versed-phase packing materials. Pore size and particle size have not usually been precisely controlled by conventional suspension polymerization. A templated polymerization is used to obtain controllable pore size and particle-size distribution. In this technique, hydrophilic monomers and divinylbenzene are formulated and filled into pores in templated silica material, at room temperature. After polymerization, the templated silica material is removed by base hydrolysis. The surface of the polymer may be modified in various ways to obtain the desired functionality. The particles are useful in chromatography, adsorption, and ion exchange and as polymeric supports of catalysts (39,40). 

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 values of n and the corresponding N which are necessary to resolve 50-90% of the constituents of a mixture of 100 compounds are listed in Table 1.5, thus making clear the limitations of one-dimensional chromatography. For example, to resolve over 80 % of the 100 compounds by GC would require a column generating 2.4 million plates, which would be approximately 500 m long for a conventional internal diameter of 250 p.m. For real mixtures, the situation is even less favourable to resolve, for example, 80 % the components of a mixture containing all possible 209 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBS) would require over lO plates.
