Chromatography retention modes

Fig. 5 Discovery metabolite profiling of brain tissue, where mass ion intensity ratios (FAAH / / FAAH+/+) of metabolites are presented on three-dimensional surface plots. Global view of the relative levels of metabolites in FAAH / and FAAH+/+ brains, plotted over a mass range of 200-1,200 m/z and liquid chromatography retention times of 0-105 min (plot shown for negative ionization mode). FAAH / brains possessed highly elevated levels of A-acyl ethanolamines (NAEs) (lipid group 4) and an unknown class of lipids (group 5), identified as A-acyl taurines (NATs). Other lipids, e.g., free fatty acids (group 1), phospholipids (group 2), and ceramides (group 3) were unaltered in these samples...

Ion exchange. A retention mode in which sample components are separated based on differences in their charge and in their ionization constants. Only ionized sample components can be separated by this technique. See Ion suppression and Paired-ion chromatography. 

Liquid-solid chromatography. A retention mode of LC in which separation of the sample components is based on differences in adsorption and desorption rates of the sample components on the surface of porous particles. See also Reverse phase and normal phase. 

Oddly, IPC was also performed on a classical ion exchange colnmn to separate 17 anionic, neutral, and cationic arsenic species in a single chromatographic run, thanks to a multiplicity of retention modes on this packing material [39], Ion pairing proved also valuable in size exclusion chromatography of sulfonated lignins [40],...

General Description. Liquid chromatography encompasses any chromatographic method in which the mobile phase is a liquid (c.f. gas chromatography). A variety of stationary phases and retention mechanisms are available such that a broad range of modes of separation are possible. It is worthwhile to briefly describe the important modes that find use in clinical chemistry. 

Reverse phase chromatography is finding increasing use in modern LC. For example, steroids (42) and fat soluble vitamins (43) are appropriately separated by this mode. Reverse phase with a chemically bonded stationary phase is popular because mobile phase conditions can be quickly found which produce reasonable retention. (In reverse phase LC the mobile phase is typically a water-organic solvent mixture.) Rapid solvent changeover also allows easy operation in gradient elution. Many examples of reverse phase separations can be found in the literature of the various instrument companies. 

Gas separation performances (H2/n-butane, n-hexane/2-2 dimethylbutane) have been measured using a sweep gas (countercurrent mode) in order to increase the permeation driving force (no differential pressure was used) permeate and retentate compositions (see Figure 2) were analysed using on line gas chromatography. 

Multiway and particularly three-way analysis of data has become an important subject in chemometrics. This is the result of the development of hyphenated detection methods (such as in combined chromatography-spectrometry) and yields three-way data structures the ways of which are defined by samples, retention times and wavelengths. In multivariate process analysis, three-way data are obtained from various batches, quality measures and times of observation [55]. In image analysis, the three modes are formed by the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the pixels within a frame and the successive frames that have been recorded. In this rapidly developing field one already finds an extensive body of literature and only a brief outline can be given here. For a more comprehensive reading and a discussion of practical applications we refer to the reviews by Geladi [56], Smilde [57] and Henrion [58]. 

Principles and Characteristics Liquid chromatography is the generic name used to describe any chromatographic procedure in which the mobile phase is a liquid. It may be classified according to the mechanism of retention in adsorption, partition, size-exclusion, affinity and ion-exchange (Scheme 4.4). These mechanisms form the basis for the chromatographic modes of... 

The use of GC-MS in polymer/additive analysis is now well established. Various GC-based polymer/additive protocols have been developed, embracing HTGC-MS, GC-HRMS and fast GC-MS with a wide variety of front-end devices (SHS, DHS, TD, DSI, LD, Py, SPE, SPME, PTV, etc.). Ionisation modes employed are mainly El, Cl (for gases) and ICPI (for liquid and solid samples). Useful instrumental developments are noticed for TD-GC-MS. GC-SMB-MS is a fast analytical tool as opposed to fast chromatography only [104]. GC-ToFMS is now about to take off. GC-REMPI-MS represents a 3D analytical technique based on compound-selective parameters of retention time, resonance ionisation wavelength and molecular mass [105]. 

Microparticulate silica can be used in a number of modes for hplc of these, reverse phase chromatography using bonded phases is the most widely used. In normal and reverse phase chromatography the retention times and selectivities of solutes can be altered by adjustment of the nature and composition of the mobile phase. 

A number of 2DLC applications have attempted to use liquid chromatography at critical conditions (LCCC) and are discussed in Chapter 17. This mode of operation is useful for copolymer analysis when one of the functional groups has no retention in a very narrow range of the solvent mixture. However, determining the critical solvent composition is problematic as it is very sensitive to small changes in composition.
