Ordered mobile phases, homogeneous

When wet packing as outlined above is carried out, care is taken to avoid air bubbles within the column and to produce as homogeneous a column as possible. After packing, the mobile phase is allowed to flow out of the column only until its upper level is at the level of the packing, in order to avoid air bubbles in the packing. 

In terms of crystalline structure, this means that a channel of sufficient size must link the accessible sites in order that ion diffiision is not hindered if channels are too large with respect to the ion radius, ions can be trapped. In polymers, the region of high conductivity is found in the homogeneous, elastomeric amorphous phase and the presence of partial crystallinity inhibits conduction. The motion of mobile ions is strongly linked to that of polymer segments and ionic conductivity drops to extremely low values below 7 where the chain segment motions are frozen. Both anions and cations are mobile in many polymer/salt electrolytes. 

Tablets and Pills. Five to ten tablets or pills should be weighed, powdered and homogenized in a mortar, a portion taken, weighed and dissolved in 0.05-0.1 M SDS using an ultrasonic bath. Water can be used for dilution, but the last dilution should preferably be made with the solution us l as mobile phase, in order to reduce the noise at the beginning of the chromatogram when the drug solution is injected.

In order to achieve a mobile phase that is homogeneous under all conditions applied, a minor amount of 2-propanol is added to the mobile phase. Typically, a mobile phase for the elution, on an argentation column, of TG from a vegetable oil consists of carbon dioxide-acetonitrile-2-propanol (92.8 6.5 0.7 mol%) (Demirbiiker and Blomberg, 1991 Demirbiiker, Hag-glund and Blomberg, 1990 Demirbiiker et al., 1992).
