HPLC high performance liquid flow rate

The following sections will describe some of the various methods of liquid chromatography suitable for separation and analysis of biological (macro)molecules. Such systems often use high pressures and rapid flow rates, and are sometimes loosely described as HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) or FPLC (fast protein liquid chromatography). 

Analyses were performed by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Gel filtration of oligosaccharides was effected in a thermostated (65 <>C) column (210 X 1.5 i.d.) filled with polycrylamide gel (Bio-gel P2, 200-400 mesh Bio Rad-USA), using stilled water as eluent (flow rate 30 ml.h-1). 

High Performance Liquid Chromatographic (HPLC) Analysis. A Waters HPLC system (two Waters 501 pumps, automated gradient controller, 712 WISP, and 745 Data module) with a Shimadzu RF-535 fluorescence detector or a Waters 484 UV detector, and a 0.5 pm filter and a Rainin 30 x 4.6 mm Spheri-5 RP-18 guard column followed by a Waters 30 x 3.9 cm (10 pm particle size) p-Bondapak C18 column was used. The mobile phase consisted of a 45% aqueous solution (composed of 0.25% triethylamine, 0.9% phosphoric acid, and 0.01% sodium octyl sulfate) and 55% methanol for prazosin analysis or 40% aqueous solution and 60% methanol for naltrexone. The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min. Prazosin was measured by a fluorescence detector at 384 nm after excitation at 340 nm (8) and in vitro release samples of naltrexone were analyzed by UV detection at 254 nm. 

Procedure Flavonoids are then further purified with 2 ml of methanolic HC1 (2 N), followed by centrifugation (2 min, 15 600 g), hydrolyzation of 150 il of suspension in an autoclave (15 min, 120 C). A reverse osmosis-Millipore UF Plus water purification system is used in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with an autosampler. After injections of 5 pg of samples, the mobile phases flow at a rate of 1 ml/minute with isocratic elution in a column at 30 C. 

Assay of the reaction mixture. The samples were then resuspended in 1.5 mL isopropanol and assayed to determine both the yield and ee by chiral normal phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A 250 mm x 4.6 mm Chiralpak AD-H column was used with an eluant of 95 5 heptane/ethanol, a flow rate of 3 mL min a temperature of 10 °C and a detection wavelength of 210 nm. 

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) techniques are widely used for separation of phenolic compounds. Both reverse- and normal-phase HPLC methods have been used to separate and quantify PAs but have enjoyed only limited success. In reverse-phase HPLC, PAs smaller than trimers are well separated, while higher oligomers and polymers are co-eluted as a broad unresolved peak [8,13,37]. For our reverse-phase analyses, HPLC separation was achieved using a reverse phase. Cl8, 5 (Jtm 4.6 X 250 mm column (J. T. Baker, http //www.mallbaker.com/). Samples were eluted with a water/acetonitrile gradient, 95 5 to 30 70 in 65 min, at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. The water was adjusted with acetic acid to a final concentration of 0.1%. All mass spectra were acquired using a Bruker Esquire LC-MS equipped with an electrospray ionization source in the positive mode. 

Rao et al. reported a high performance liquid chromatographic method to determine diloxanide furoate and metronidazole in single and in combined dosage forms [41]. A 30 mg equivalent of diloxanide furoate and 25 mg of metronidazole (either as the bulk drug substances or in powdered tablets) was dissolved in methanol, amidopyrine added as the internal standard, and the mixture analyzed by HPLC at room temperature. The analytical column (30 cm x 3.9 mm) consisted of p-Bondapak Cig, with 9 9 1 1 methanol water 0.05 M KH2PO4 0.05 M NaH2P04 as the mobile phase. The flow rate was 1 mL/min), and detection was performed at 254 nm.

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) rely on the same separation principles as the traditional chromatography columns, but tend to be much faster because of high flow rates that are possible due to the uniform bead size and the mechanical strength of the beads. See also Chapter 4, section 1.2.2. 

Fig. 4.3. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) of the monosaccharides obtained from a partially purified preparation of microbubble glycopeptide surfactant from forest soil. Following hydrolysis (in 2 N HC1 for 6 hr at 100°C) and filtration, the carbohydrate mixture was charged on a Bio-Rad HPX-87 cation exchange column. For comparison, part A shows the chromatogram (using the same HPLC column) of a standard solution, which contained 4 pg of each of three different monosaccharides (i.e., the last three peaks shown are glucose, xylose and fiicose, in the order of increasing retention times). Part B shows the chromatogram obtained from hydrolysis of the partially purified (see text) microbubble surfactant (approximately 30 pg). All other experimental conditions were identical in the two cases, i.e., water eluent, 0.5 ml/min flow rate, 85°C, refractive index detector attenuation -2x. (Taken from ref. 322.)...

The use of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on-line or off-line is an essential feature for peptide mapping to integrate the removal of buffers and salts (purification) and the separation of analytes (preconcentration) with mass spectrometry. With on-line LC/MS approaches, low flow rates (<100pL/min) have been demonstrated to provide maximum sensitivity with ESI techniques for the analysis of proteins. In the work performed by Arnott and... 

The amount of mono- and disaccharides released (glucose, xylose, cellobiose, and arabinose) by pretreatment utilizing acid and enzymatic hydrolysis was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan), using an Aminex HPX-87H column with a matching precolumn (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) at 65°C. The eluent was 5 mM H2S04 at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min with detection by refractive index. 

The products obtained were analyzed for composition using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (LC -10AT Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan), which consisted of a column (STR ODS-II, 25 cm in length x 4.6 mm in id Shinwa Chemical, Osaka, Japan) operated at 40°C at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min with methanol as a carrier solvent. The column was packed with silica particles (5-pm particle diameter and 12-nm pore diameter). The cloud and pour points of the obtained biodiesel were then determined by a mini-cloud/pour point tester (Model MPC-102 Tanaka Scientific, Tokyo, Japan) based on ASTM D2500 for cloud point and ASTM D6749 for pour point (14). 

Williams et al. used a high performance liquid chromatographic assay method for dipyridamole monitoring in plasma [71]. The HPLC system uses a Waters model 6000 A solvent delivery pump equipped with a U6K injector, a pBondapak C 9 column (30 cm x 39 mm 10 pm), and a Model 440 absorbance detector. The signal from the detector was quantified using a Shimadzu data processor and an Omni-Scribe recorder. A mobile phase flow rate of 1.5 mL/min was produced by a pressure of approximately 102 atm (1500 p.s.i.). The mobile phase was 50 50 mixture of acetonitrile and 0.01 M sodium phosphate in water (adjusted to pH 7). The absorbance reading of dipyridamole in methanol was made at 280 nm.
