High-performance hquid

Reversed-phase high performance Hquid chromatography has come into use for estimating the purity of proteins and peptides as weU. However, before employed, a high performance Hquid chromatographic (hplc) profile of a given protein must be completely vaHdated (43). 

Thin-Layer Chromatography. Chiral stationary phases have been used less extensively in tic as in high performance Hquid chromatography (hplc). This may, in large part, be due to lack of avakabiHty. The cost of many chiral selectors, as well as the accessibiHty and success of chiral additives, may have inhibited widespread commerciali2ation. Usually, nondestmctive visuali2ation of the sample spots in tic is accompHshed using iodine vapor, uv or fluorescence. However, the presence of the chiral selector in the stationary phase can mask the analyte and interfere with detection (43). 

High Performance Liquid Chromatography. Although chiral mobile phase additives have been used in high performance Hquid chromatography (hplc), the large amounts of solvent, thus chiral mobile phase additive, required to pre-equiUbrate the stationary phase renders this approach much less attractive than for dc and is not discussed here. 

Hydroquinone can be deterrnined spectrophotometricaHy at 292 nm in methanol after a sample is evaporated to dryness to remove the interference of acrolein. An alternative method is high performance Hquid chromatography on 10-p.m LiChrosorb RP-2 at ambient temperature with 2.0 mL/min of 20%(v/v) 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, 79.20% chloroform, and 0.80 % methanol with uv detection at 292 nm. 

Antioxidants (qv) have a positive effect on oils when present in the proper concentration. Sterols and tocopherols, which are natural antioxidants, may be analy2ed by gas-Hquid chromatography (glc), high performance Hquid chromatography (hplc), or thin-layer chromatography (tic). Synthetic antioxidants maybe added by processors to improve the performance or shelf life of products. These compounds include butylatedhydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), / fZ-butyUiydroquinone (TBHQ), and propyl gallate. These materials may likewise be analy2ed by glc, hplc, or tic. Citric acid (qv), which functions as a metal chelator, may also be deterrnined by glc. 

Both vapor-phase chromatography and high performance Hquid chromatography, along with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, have been used for isomer and composition analysis. 

The total phosphoms content of the sample is determined by method AOCS Ja 5-55. Analysis of phosphoUpid in lecithin concentrates (AOCS Ja 7-86) is performed by fractionation with two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography (tic) followed by acid digestion and reaction with molybdate to measure total phosphorous for each fraction at 310 nm. It is a semiquantitative method for PC, PE, PI, PA, LPC, and LPE. Method AOCS Ja 7b-91 is for the direct deterrnination of single phosphoHpids PE, PA, PI, PC in lecithin by high performance Hquid chromatography (hplc). The method is appHcable to oil-containing lecithins, deoiled lecithins, lecithin fractions, but not appHcable to lyso-PC and lyso-PE. 

To determine the phosphoHpid and fatty acid compositions chromatographic methods (28) like gas chromatography (gc), thin-layer chromatography (tic), and high performance Hquid chromatography (hlpc) are used. Newer methods for quantitative deterrnination of different phosphoHpid classes include P-nmr (29). 

Several new oxalates have been developed for use ia analytical appHcations. Bis(2,6-difluorophenyl) oxalate (72) and bis(4-nitro-2-(3,6,9-trioxadecylcarbonyl)phenyl) oxalate (97) have been used ia flow iajection and high performance Hquid chromatography (hplc) as activators for chemiluminescence detectors. These oxalates are generally more stable and show better water solubiUty ia mixed aqueous solvents yet retain the higher efficiencies ( ) of the traditional oxalates employed for chemiluminescence. 

High performance Hquid chromatography (hplc) may be used to determine nitroparaffins by utilizing a standard uv detector at 254 nm. This method is particularly appHcable to small amounts of nitroparaffins present, eg, in nitro alcohols (qv), which caimot be analyzed easily by gas chromatography. Suitable methods for monitoring and deterrnination of airborne nitromethane, nitroethane, and 2-nitropropane have been pubUshed by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) (97). Ordinary sorbant tubes containing charcoal are unsatisfactory, because the nitroparaffins decompose on it unless the tubes are held in dry ice and analyzed as soon after collection as possible. 

Formylbenzoic acid and -toluic acid are deterrnined by high performance hquid chromatography or capillary electrophoresis. Gas chromatography can be used for the aldehyde ester content of dimethyl terephthalate, this being the counterpart of 4-form ylben zoic acid in terephthahc acid. 

Formylbenzoic acid and -toluic acid can be deterrnined by high performance hquid chromatography. In some cases, polarography is used for 3-formylbenzoic acid and esterification gas chromatography for the y -toluic acid content. 

PEN). This article also covers the increasingly commercially important high performance Hquid crystalline all-aromatic polyesters, eg, Vectra [70679-92-4], [82538-13-4] andXydar [31072-56-7]. 

Instmmental methods of analysis provide information about the specific composition and purity of the amines. QuaUtative information about the identity of the product (functional groups present) and quantitative analysis (amount of various components such as nitrile, amide, acid, and deterruination of unsaturation) can be obtained by infrared analysis. Gas chromatography (gc), with a Hquid phase of either Apiezon grease or Carbowax, and high performance Hquid chromatography (hplc), using siHca columns and solvent systems such as isooctane, methyl tert-huty ether, tetrahydrofuran, and methanol, are used for quantitative analysis of fatty amine mixtures. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (nmr), both proton ( H) and carbon-13 ( C), which can be used for quaHtative and quantitative analysis, is an important method used to analyze fatty amines (8,81). 

Chromatographic Method. Progress in the development of chromatographic techniques (55), especially, in high performance Hquid chromatography, or hplc, is remarkable (56). Today, chiral separations are mainly carried out by three hplc methods chiral hplc columns, achiral hplc columns together with chiral mobile phases, and derivatization with optical reagents and separation on achiral columns. All three methods are usehil but none provides universal appHcation. 

There are a variety of analytical methods commonly used for the characterization of neat soap and bar soaps. Many of these methods have been pubUshed as official methods by the American Oil Chemists Society (29). Additionally, many analysts choose United States Pharmacopoeia (USP), British Pharmacopoeia (BP), or Pood Chemical Codex (FCC) methods. These methods tend to be colorimetric, potentiometric, or titrametric procedures. However, a variety of instmmental techniques are also frequendy utilized, eg, gas chromatography, high performance Hquid chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. 

Mixtures can be identified with the help of computer software that subtracts the spectra of pure compounds from that of the sample. For complex mixtures, fractionation may be needed as part of the analysis. Commercial instmments are available that combine ftir, as a detector, with a separation technique such as gas chromatography (gc), high performance Hquid chromatography (hplc), or supercritical fluid chromatography (96,97). Instmments such as gc/ftir are often termed hyphenated instmments (98). Pyrolyzer (99) and thermogravimetric analysis (tga) instmmentation can also be combined with ftir for monitoring pyrolysis and oxidation processes (100) (see Analytical methods, hyphenated instruments). 

Body fluids are analyzed for T and T by a variety of radioimmunoassay procedures (31) (see Immunoassays). The important clinical parameter for estimating thyroid function, the protein-bound iodine (PBI), is measured as described in treatises of clinical chemistry. High performance Hquid chromatographic (hplc) methods have replaced dc (32,33). 

Various aspects of the chromatography of vitamin B 2 and related corrinoids have been reviewed (59). A high performance Hquid chromatographic (hplc) method is reported to require a sample containing 20—100 p.g cyanocobalamin and is suitable for premixes, raw material, and pharmaceutical products (60).
