High-performance liquid chromatography pumps

Chromatography. Filtered polysaccharide solutions were analyzed using an SEC system consisting of an automatic sampler (Waters WISP, Waters, Milford, MA) with a high-performance liquid chromatography pump (Waters model 590), pulse dampener (Viscotek, Houston, TX), viscometer... 

Caprioli and Lin first described this method for the characterization of penicillin G in 1990 [19]. A diagram of the microdialysis/cfFAB experimental setup used is shown in Fig. 8. Dialysate was allowed to collect in a 20- dL sampling loop via syringe pump. After collection, the injection valve was switched and a high-performance liquid chromatography pump was used to deliver the microdialysis sample to the mass spectrometer. Mass spectra of penicillin from both a standard and an in vivo microdialysis sample (shown in Fig. 9) compare well. 

Most high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) pumps can be used in HOPC. The back pressure rating should be at least several thousand pounds per square inch (a few hundred kg/cm ). A type of pump that does not allow bypassing the pressure transducer or a pulse damper, if it is installed, must not be used. The dead volume should be as small as possible. Pumps with a single plunger are better than those with two plungers. 

High Performance Liquid Chromatography. All separations were performed using an Altex Scientific (1780 Fourth Street, Berkeley, CA 94710) Model 320 Advance Research Chromatograph, consisting of a model lOOA dual piston analytical pump, a Model 153 UV detector, a Model 210 injection valve, and a Model 155 recorder. The columns (600 x7.5mm) evaluated were the Spherogel TSK-SW-2000 and SW-3000 (Altex). Unless otherwise stated, all separations were carried out at 23 - 25 . 

Figure 7.5 Schematic diagram of a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system. The solvent(s) are pumped through the system, and the sample injected just before the column where separation occurs. Detection is often by UV/visible spectrophotometry at a fixed wavelength.

The isocratic system (Fig. 1.2 (a)) provides an economic first step into high-performance liquid chromatography techniques. The system is built around a high-performance, dual-piston, pulse-free pump providing precision flow from 0.01 to 5ml min-1. 

High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) (Chapter 30) gives an elaborate discussion of theoretical aspects. Instrumentation encompasses the various important components e.g., solvent reservoir and degassing system pressure, flow and temperature pumps and sample injection system ... 

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is one of the premier analytical techniques widely used in analytical laboratories. Numerous analytical HPLC analyses have been developed for pharmaceutical, chemical, food, cosmetic, and environmental applications. The popularity of HPLC analysis can be attributed to its powerful combination of separation and quantitation capabilities. HPLC instrumentation has reached a state of maturity. The majority of vendors can provide very sophisticated and highly automated systems to meet users needs. To provide a high level of assurance that the data generated from the HPLC analysis are reliable, the performance of the HPLC system should be monitored at regular intervals. In this chapter some of the key performance attributes for a typical HPLC system (consisting of a quaternary pump, an autoinjector, a UV-Vis detector, and a temperature-controlled column compartment) are discussed [1-8]. 

Fig. 6.1.4 Components of the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system for oxidized pterins with column switching. The autosampler starts the chromatography software, which controls valves and pumps. Pump 3 is used only for rinsing the precolumn. Details of the three valves and their different positions are explained in Fig. 6.1.5...

In most common turbulent-flow chromatography experiments, a second conventional high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) column is employed. The conventional HPLC column, usually referred to as the analytical column, is used for peak sharpening and additional separation prior to MS detection. This approach requires an additional valve and pump to control the final HPLC separation. A typical dual-column methodology is shown in Fig. 10.5. 

During pilot-test tank saturation and flushing, the feed tank contained Beaverton city water. During contaminant injection, the feed tank also contained the target input concentration of chromate. A 9 1 methanol PCE mixture was injected into the feed line via a high-performance-liquid-chromatography (HPLC) pump to yield the appropriate PCE input concentration. The target contaminant concentrations in the injection wells were 10 mg L 1 (0.19 mmol L"1) Cr(VI) as chromate and 1.8 mg L 1 (0.011 mmol L 1 PCE. Effluent from the extraction wells was checked for...
