High-performance liquid chromatography extracts

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... 

Acetonitrile and hydrogen cyanide are hy-products that may he recovered for sale. Acetonitrile (CH3CN) is a high polarity aprotic solvent used in DNA synthesizers, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and electrochemistry. It is an important solvent for extracting butadiene from C4 streams. Table 8-1 shows the specifications of acrylonitrile, HCN, and acetonitrile. ... 

Multi-element analyses involving solvent extraction and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) have also been described. The extracts, containing metal-chelate complexes with sulphur-containing reagents, such as dithizone and diethyldithiocarbamate, were used directly for determination of the metals by HPLC.14...

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been by far the most important method for separating chlorophylls. Open column chromatography and thin layer chromatography are still used for clean-up procedures to isolate and separate carotenoids and other lipids from chlorophylls and for preparative applications, but both are losing importance for analytical purposes due to their low resolution and have been replaced by more effective techniques like solid phase, supercritical fluid extraction and counter current chromatography. The whole analysis should be as brief as possible, since each additional step is a potential source of epimers and allomers. 

Although saponification was found to be unnecessary for the separation and quantification of carotenoids from leafy vegetables by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or open column chromatography (OCC), saponification is usually employed to clean the extract when subsequent purification steps are required such as for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and production of standards from natural sources.

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a micellar mobile phase or with a selective pre-column or reaction detection system has also been used to determine alkylenebis(dithiocarbamaes). ° Zineb and mancozeb residues in feed were determined by ion-pair HPLC with ultraviolet (UV) detection at 272 nm. These compounds were converted to water-soluble sodium salts with ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid (EDTA) and sodium hydroxide. The extracts were ion-pair methylated with tetrabuthylammonium hydrogensulfate (ion-pair reagent) in a chloroform-hexane solvent mixture at pH 6.5-8.S. The use of an electrochemical detector has also been reported. ... 

Residue analytical methods for neonicotinoids in crops, soil and water samples have been developed. The basic principle of these methods consists of the following steps extraction of the crop and/or soil samples with acetone or the other organic solvent, cleanup by liquid-liquid partition or column chromatography, and quantitative analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (HPLC/UV). Simple column cleanup procedures are used to improve the accuracy and sensitivity of these methods. 

Plant materials are homogenized with methanol. Hexythiazox residue is extracted with hexane and then transferred to acetonitirile by liquid-liquid partitioning. The acetonitirile is removed by rotary evaporation and the sample is cleaned up using Florisil PR column chromatography. The concentrated eluate is subjected to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. 

Milbemectin consists of two active ingredients, M.A3 and M.A4. Milbemectin is extracted from plant materials and soils with methanol-water (7 3, v/v). After centrifugation, the extracts obtained are diluted to volume with the extraction solvent in a volumetric flask. Aliquots of the extracts are transferred on to a previously conditioned Cl8 solid-phase extraction (SPE) column. Milbemectin is eluted with methanol after washing the column with aqueous methanol. The eluate is evaporated to dryness and the residual milbemectin is converted to fluorescent anhydride derivatives after treatment with trifluoroacetic anhydride in 0.5 M triethylamine in benzene solution. The anhydride derivatives of M.A3 and M.A4 possess fluorescent sensitivity. The derivatized samples are dissolved in methanol and injected into a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system equipped with a fluorescence detector for quantitative determination. 

Pyrimidifen is extracted from plant materials with methanol-water (7 3, v/v). The extracts are concentrated and pyrimidifen is partitioned with n-hexane after addition of sodium chloride. The organic phase is collected and concentrated. Pyrimidifen in the organic phase is purified by silica gel column chromatography. Pyrimidifen is dissolved in acetonitrile and injected into a high-performance liquid chromatography...
