Apart from the above-discussed parameters for HPLC optimization of chiral resolution on antibiotic CSPs, some other HPLC conditions may be controlled to improve chiral resolution on these CSPs. The effect of the concentrations of antibiotics (on stationary phase) on enantioresolution varied depending on the type of racemates. The effect of the concentrations of teicoplanin has been studied on the retention (k), enantioselectivity (a), resolution (Rs), and theoretical plate number (N) for five racemates [21]. An increase in the concentration of teicoplanin resulted in an increase of a and Rs values. The most surprising fact is that the theoretical plate number (N) increases with the increase in the concentration of teicoplanin. It may be the result of the resistance of mass transfer resulting from analyte interaction with free silanol and/or the linkage chains (antibiotics linked with silica gel). This would tend to trap an analyte between the silica surface and the bulky chiral selector adhered to it. This is somewhat... 

Preparative HPLC optimization goals which ultimately lead to a product with a given minimum purity may include the maximum amount of the purified material per weight unit of stationary phase per time unit (g/kg/day), the maximum amount of the purified material per mobile phase unit per time unit (g/L/day), the maximum production rate (g/day), the lowest cost ( /kg), the maximum recovery (%), and the maximum production rate with maximum recovery. Regardless of the differences in application, it is important to be aware of the following parameters that may affect the purity and recovery of the product as well as the time and cost required for the separation ... 

Not all of the separation parameters can be improved simultaneously and the optimization process often requires multiple experiments. In addition, separation problems, such as the sample bleeding through the column during loading or the product not completely eluting from the column, should be identified and corrected. Steps of the HPLC optimization experiment include (a) preliminary recording of the peak area-concentration plot for a pure product standard, (b) calculation of the amount of the target material in the solution prepared for separation, (c)... 

The question is deliberately vague in order to make a point. Before you optimize a separation, you have to accurately define what you want to optimize. For analytical HPLC, optimization often means ... 

The application of chemometric techniques to HPLC optimization is too broad a subject to be covered comprehensively in this chapter. We will only outline the major developments and products in this area. If more details are needed, readers can consult some excellent textbooks that deal with this subject (30,31). 

Speed is the most common HPLC optimization criterion. A method is considered optimized if it allows the separation of all relevant components with sufficient resolution in the shortest time possible. Such speed increase only translates into an economical benefit for the laboratory if it actually enables productivity increase of the respective lab. Labs with particularly high sample load are typical beneficiaries of this, but so are all labs that directly profit from knowing analytical results within hours or even minutes after receiving the samples in order to react on it. Productivity increase often requires optimization of the entire lab workflow which will include more than the analytical separation process. It is rather common that samples do not arrive in a ready to inject format and thus require sample preparation...

In the case of capillary columns, finding appropriate solutions for sample introduction is much more challenging than with packed columns. Since packed columns have dimensions similar to normal HPLC, optimal sample introduction can be achieved with ordinary sample loop injectors (see Section 12.2.4.2). 

ChromSword for computer-assisted HPLC method development was developed between 1990 and 1995 as an extension of ChromDream HPLC method development software [1]. In 1999, the first version for automatic HPLC optimization was developed and launched by S. Galushko in collaboration with Merck KGaA (Darmstadt, Germany). As a result of cooperation with VWR International Scientific Instruments, Darmstadt, Germany, Hitachi High Technologies...
