Gradient elution mode mobile phase component

Stationary phase. In many complex mixtures of proteins and peptides, the degrees of interaction with the stationary phase k values) vary over a broad range. Therefore, gradient elution methods are often required. An example of such a gradient method for the separation of a biochemical mixture is shown in Fig. 2. Finally, although water is used almost exclusively as the weak solvent in RP methods, a few types of sample require the use of other mobile-phase components. For example, the separation of triglycerides and fatty acids often utilize acetone as the weak solvent in the RP mode. 

For the optimization of nano-HPLC separations of GSL extracts, reverse-phase (RP) HPLG with a Cjg column and amidophase under different mobile phase adjustments in both isocratic and gradient elution mode can be considered for neutral and acidic GSLs. Adequate conditions for separation criteria, considering either the ceramide or the carbohydrate moiety, were elucidated using different solvent mixtures. As the matrix solvent exerts an influence on ionization efficiency, its composition must be adapted accordingly so as to achieve ionization of both the major and minor components present in the fractions. 

In reality, many proteins demonstrate mixed mode interactions (e.g., additional hydrophobic or silanol interactions) with a column, or multiple structural conformations that differentially interact with the sorbent. These nonideal interactions may distribute a component over multiple gradient steps, or over a wide elution range with a linear gradient. These behaviors may be mitigated by the addition of mobile phase modifiers (e.g., organic solvent, surfactants, and denaturants), and optimization (temperature, salt, pH, sample load) of separation conditions. 

Ion chromatography instruments have the same components as those found in HPLC (see Fig. 4.1). They can exist as individual components or as an integrated instrument. The components of the system are made out of inert materials because the mobile phase is composed of acids or alkaline entities that can be highly corrosive. Instruments that operate in the isocratic mode are used more often than those allowing gradient elution. 

Elution was performed using a concentration gradient of a methanol-acetonitrile-water ternary mixture. The initial proportions of the components at the beginning of the run were 40 40.5 18.5. The concentration of acetonitrile was then decreased linearly so that it reached 0% at 25 min while its concentration in the mobile phase was replaced with methanol at the same gradient rate. Elution was completed with a linear gradient of the methanol-water mixture so that the mobile phase usually contained 90% of methanol at 60-70 min and was 100% methanol at 90 min. The elution of phenacyl esters of 6 0-22 1 fatty acids was completed within 80 min at a flow rate of 1 ml/min (the detailed composition of the mobile phase is described in Table 1, elution mode E) (Fig. 4). 

In the elution mode when the mobile phase contains a competitive additive, in gradient elution when the initial concentration of the strong solvent is different from zero, or in frontal analysis when the elution of successive concentration steps is carried out, the column contains a constant concentration of a component interacting with the stationary phase at the beginning of the experiment. Thus, the initial condition is... 

The selection of mobile phases to be used in conjunction with these columns is dependent on the mode of chromatography (reversed phase versus normal phase) and on the physicochemical properties of the API (and related substances). However, in all instances, it is important to ensure that the API and all related substances can be monitored and are separated. Accordingly, it is of paramount importance that the initial chromatographic conditions elute all the individual components from the column and that no components are eluted at the solvent front (i.e., all compounds of interest are retained). In practice, this dictates the use of broad (5-90% strong solvent in 60 min) gradients.
