Phase optimisation

For selection of alternative solvents (non-ozone depleting) for separation processes (extraction and HPLC mobile phase optimisation) references [24,25] are very useful.

ICP-MS was used for the detection of biologically significant metalloporphyrins separated by RP-HPLC by Kumar et al. [43]. Cobalt protoporphyrin (CoPP), iron protoporphyrin (hemin) and zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP) were separated using a Cl column (due to the relatively large molecular mass of the compounds) and a mobile phase optimised with 68% methanol at pH 4.5 (Fig. 2). Detection limits were... 

Finally, structure-based predictive software is commercially available (such as CHROMDREAM, CHROMSWORD or ELUEX) for mobile phase optimisation in RPC. This software incorporates some features of the expert system, as it predicts the retention on the basis of the molecular structures of all sample components (which should be known) and the known behaviour of model compounds on various HPLC columns. No initial experimental runs are necessary as the retention data are calculated from the additive contributions of the individual structural elements to the retention, contained in the software databa.se and consequently optimum composition of the mobile phase is suggested. Such predictions are necessarily only approximate, do not take into account stereochemical and intramolecular interaction effects, and predicted separation conditions can be used rather as the recommendation for the initial experimental run in the subsequent optimisation procedure. 

The progress in thin-layer chromatography was made possible by improvements in the stationary phases, optimisation of mobile phase composition, and in chromatographic instrumentation. 

Solvent system optimisation can be done on the basis of trial and error according to the literature data or the intuition and experience of the chromatographer 57. The mobile phase optimisation procedure is based on Snyder s solvent characterisation 58 and is called the PRISMA system 157). which uses a three-step optimisation procedure. The proper stationary phase and the possible individual solvents are chosen, and their combination is. selected by means of the PRISMA model, while this combination is adapted to the selected technique (e.g.. FF-TLC. saturated immersion mode, etc.). 

This book describes the principal physico-chemical techniques for characterising the catalysts used in searching for new active phases, optimising the formulation and monitoring industrial production. Based on courses given at the Institut Fran ais du Petrole for research technicians in the fields of kinetics and catalysis, this book covers useful basic theory and provides numerous examples of industrial applications.

The implications for device applications are straightforward, b-Phase chro-mophores are much more resilient to optically induced and, most probably, also to electrically injected excitations. Therefore, OLEDs made out of PFO (J> phase should show extended lifetime operation with respect to those containing a large number of chains in the glassy phase. Optimisation of the quantity of ( >-phasc chains by employing vapour swelling techniques or with the use of well-defined protocols involving different solvents will be crucial for device operation [56].
