Post-purification analysis

Figure 11-6. Fifty milligrams of a crude reaction product was solubilized in 1 ruL of 50/50 MeOFI/DMSO and injected onto a 20-mm x 50-nun-i.d. reversed-phase column. Separation was achieved using a gradient of 10-90% ACN in 7 minutes. (A) TIC chromatogram shows five components well-separated. (B) Extracted ion chromatogram (XIC) for expected product shows a single, prominent peak at 6.49 minutes. Fraction collection was initiated and terminated, as indicated by the arrows directly below the XIC peak. (C) Post-purification analysis of the isolated component shows that the compound was purified to approximately 90% level.

Methods used for the detection of PAs in cmde or partially purified extracts can also be adapted for post-column analysis after fractionation (see below). Direct quantitative analysis of PAs in crude grape phenolic extracts is often impossible due to the complex sample matrix. Thus, fractionation or purification is often necessary before analysis. The Folin-Ciocalteu and Pmssian Blue assays are widely used for the quantification of total polyphenols in plants [27,28]. These methods are not specific for PAs due to the reaction of other phenolic compounds with these reagents. 

As already mentioned the EP wants to replace old TEC tests with separation methods of higher efficiency for example, the purity of amino acids is currently evaluated by a TEC test for ninhydrin-positive substances that is only able to find and limit amino acids to 0.5%. However, this test is only valid in the case the amino acids are produced by the cleavage of peptides/proteins and purification. The ninhydrin method is also used in the amino acid analysis of peptides, utilizing a cation-exchange chromatography with a post-column derivatization and a subsequent UVA is detection. This method is often used in industries for purity evaluation of amino acids. 

Trace amounts of Tc are also determined in filter paper and vegetable samples by neutron activation analysis The procedure consists of the following major steps separation of technetium from the sample, thermal neutron irradiation of the Tc fraction to produce °°Tc, post-irradiation separation and purification of °°Tc from other activated nuclides, and counting of the 16 s Tc in a low-background P counter. The estimated detection limits for Tc in this procedure are 5 x 10 g in filter paper and 9 x 10 g in vegetable samples. 

Already Bailey s talents were becoming evident from his early papers on carbohydrates and later on the plant proteins with Chibnall and collaborators. This was a world of protein purification and crystallization followed by careful chemical study and analysis by laborious chemical procedures. Now long outmoded by the post-war advances in techniques the habits and disciplines acquired at this time made an important contribution to Bailey s later successes.

The results obtained by TLC, SepPak and HPLC analysis showed a mean radiochemical purity for Tc-EDDA/HYNlC-TOC and " Tc-EDDA/ HYNIC-[Lys ]BN of greater than 93% without post-labelling purification. Binding with protein was 26 and 29%, respectively, at 1 h. The average specific activity was 0.1 GBq/nmol. The radiochemical purity remained greater than 90% after 24 h in human serum. 

Fast LC-MS methods have been used to assess library quantity and purity, as well as to triage purification of compounds. Zeng et al. [51] developed one of the first fully automated analytical/preparative LC-MS systems for the characterization and purification of compound libraries derived by parallel synthesis. The system incorporated fast, reverse-phase LC/ESI-MS analysis (5-10 minutes). Post-data-acquisition purity assessment of compound ti-braries was performed automatically with software control. Compounds that were below a threshold level of purity were automatically purified with HPLC. The real-time purity assessment eliminated the need for postpurification analysis or pooling of fractions collected.
