Preparative Layer Chromatography gradient development

Other variations have been described by Szepesi and Nyiredy (1996) and Nyiredy (1996). Incremental multiple development (IMD) (Szabady et al., 1995 and 1997) involves rechromatography with the same composition mobile phase for distances that increase, usually by the same amount (linearly). If development occurs in the same direction with the same distance but different mobile phases having distinctive strength and selectivity, the method is termed gradient multiple development (GMD) this method most significantly increases the separation capacity of the system. In bivariate multiple development, the development distance and mobile phase composition are varied simultaneously for successive runs this method, which is effective for samples of differing polarity, has been used especially for preparative layer chromatography plates. 

MALDI-MS has mainly been used as an off-line detector for various LC separation techniques (iso-cratic and gradient HPLC, LCCC, SEC) of polymers. The problems of coupling of LC and MALDI-ToFMS are related to the fact that MALDI-ToF is based on the pulsed desorption of molecules from a solid surface layer and, therefore, a priori not compatible with liquid chromatography. Different semion-line interfaces have been developed for automated LC sample collection and subsequent preparation of the samples for MALDI-ToF analysis. In...
