Reporting Retention Times

Pressure-FFF was found to be suitable for the fractionation of blue dextran and human plasma in a circular semipermeable capillary, 0.2 cm in diameter [37], whereas magnetic-FFF was applied to the study of the retention behavior of bovine serum albumin in the presence and absence of nickel nitrate [45]. In the presence of nickel(II) ions, the retention time of the BSA sample was 6% higher with the magnetic field than it was without the field while the retention times reported for BSA samples both with and without a magnetic field in action did not differ in the absence of nickel(II) ions. 

Figure 16.26 shows that the calculated results closely match the relative peak area ratio and the retention times reported by Karger and Blanco [67]. These authors had also shown that, at higher concentrations, the formation of the octamer and the dodecamer is favored over that of the tetramer and that their corresponding peaks are more pronounced. This behavior is well predicted by the VERSE model (see Figure 16.26)... 

The retention times reported in GEST 76/55 were calculated using a liquid density appropriate to a lower temperature, but this does not detract from the main point that there is little destruction of NCI3 in the typical vaporizer. The calculated parameters lead to the results that follow ... 

Avilamycins. At least 16 avilamycins have been reported (14,15,29) and are Hsted in Table 2. Avilamycins A (mp 181—182) and C (mp 188—189) are the primary components (14) produced by the strain Streptomjces viridochromogenes. Stmctures have been estabhshed based on chemical degradation, nmr, and x-ray analysis. Stmctures for the rest of the compounds have been assigned based on nmr and fab ms (14) interpretations. Avilamycins F and H have only one chlorine atom in the phenoHc ring. Relative hplc retention times for all the avilamycins have been recorded (14). 

The method was validated in accordance to the guidelines of the international conference on harmonization (ICH). Data with respect to accuracy, within- and between run precision, recovery, detection and quantitation limits were reported and found to be within the accepted international criteria. Neither endogeneous substances nor the commonly used dmgs were found to interfere with the retention times of the analytes. Standard solutions of the dmg and quality control preparations at high and low level concentrations were demonstrated to be stable at room temperature and/or -20°C for long and short periods of time. 

The results obtained were probably as accurate and precise as any available and, consequently, were unique at the time of publication and probably unique even today. Data were reported for different columns, different mobile phases, packings of different particle size and for different solutes. Consequently, such data can be used in many ways to evaluate existing equations and also any developed in the future. For this reason, the full data are reproduced in Tables 1 and 2 in Appendix 1. It should be noted that in the curve fitting procedure, the true linear velocity calculated using the retention time of the totally excluded solute was employed. An example of an HETP curve obtained for benzyl acetate using 4.86%v/v ethyl acetate in hexane as the mobile phase and fitted to the Van Deemter equation is shown in Figure 1. 

Yasumoto et al. (30) describe two components of a Pseudomonas sp. culture with identical HPLC retention times to TTX and anhydro-TTX. These fractions produced typical signs of TTX intoxication in mice, with median death times similar to standard TTX and anhydro-TTX. Noguchi et al. (32) demonstrate by HPLC and GC-MS analyses that 7 biotypes of Vibrio sp. produced substances with retention times and molecular weights similar to TTX and anhydro-TTX. However, they observed mouse toxicity in only 1 biotype. Likewise, Simidu et al. (34) report that extracts of V. alginolyticus ATCC 17749 cultures displayed TTX-like toxicity in mice. The latter study shows that a variety of marine bacteria, plus E. coliy produced substances that, by HPLC analysis, were identical to TTX and anhydro-TTX. 

G.l.c. studies of tributylphosphine, dialkyl phosphites, and dialkyl alkylphosphonates are reported. Tributyl phosphate in nitric acid can be estimated by g.l.c. if a glass column is used. Tetraethyl pyrophosphate has been directly determined on a nanogram scale by g.l.c., whereas it was found most convenient to first convert the tetra-aryl pyrophosphates by methanolysis to diarylmethyl phosphates. Phosphorochloridates were converted by t-butyl alcohol into t-butyl chloride before analysis. G.l.c. studies of pesticides have been reported and the isomeric thiophosphates (138a) and (138b) have quite different retention times. ... 

A particular problem with GRAFA and RBL is the reproducibility of the retention data. The retention time axes should be perfectly synchronized. Small shifts of one time interval (thus the ith spectrum in X, corresponds with the i+lth spectrum in X ) already introduce major errors (> 5%) when the chromatographic resolution is less than 0.6. The results of an extensive study on the influence of these factors on the accuracy of the results obtained by GRAFA and RBL have been reported in Ref. [37]. Although some practical applications have been reported [38,39], the lack of robustness of RBL and GRAFA due to artifacts mentioned above has limited their widespread application in chromatography. 

A well-developed records management program that defines rules by which records and documents are handled from creation to retirement is necessary for a successful electronic data archiving process. In a GLP-compliant system, records are classified by type, such as study-specific raw data, reports, personnel records, etc. Each record type has a defined retention time. 

Capillary HPLC-MS has been reported as a confirmatory tool for the analysis of synthetic dyes [585], but has not been considered as a general means for structural information (degradant identification, structural elucidation or unequivocal confirmation) positive identification of minor components (trace component MW, degradation products and by-products, structural information, thermolabile components) or identification of degradation components (MW even at 0.01 % level, simultaneous mass and retention time data, more specific and much higher resolution than PDA). Successful application of LC-MS for additive verification purposes relies heavily and depends greatly on the quality of a MS library. Meanwhile, MB, DLI, CF-FAB, and TSP interfaces belong to history [440]. 

The mechanism for sedimentation (clarification) is based on the density difference between SS and liquid. In addition, SS with larger particle sizes can settle down more easily. Rectangular tanks, circular tanks, combination flocculator-clarifiers, and stacked multilevel clarifiers can be used.14 Oliveira et al.15 reported that flocculation and sedimentation were conducted in the cassava meal industry and reduced the effluent concentration of organics from 14,000 to 2000 mg/L in the bench-scale reactor, with a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 37 min. 

When the column is ready to be used, the chromatogram of a suitable test mixture should be obtained. The plate number and retention times of the test solutes should be noted, and the peaks should have a satisfactory shape (minimal tailing). For measurement of the plate number, the recorder should be used at a high chart speed. Fig. 5.1b(i) and (ii) show test chromatograms for a C-18 column prepared by the above method, and Fig. 5.1c and 5.Id show the data that you should report with the chromatogram. The retention for an unretained peak is taken as the small baseline disturbance just before the first peak. 

DLC. (b, d, and f) Reduced retention-time coordinates x and y. Equations of lines defining spatial boundaries are reported. 

Photochemistry of Model Compounds. Preliminary photochemical studies have been carried out on l,3-diphenoxy-2-propanol (3)8 as a model compound for bisphenol A-epichloro-hydrin condensates 1. The utilization of 3 as a model compound for thermal degradation of 1 has been reported. Irradiation (254 nm) of 3 in acetonitrile (N2 purge) provides two major volatile products, which have been identified as phenol and phenoxyacetone (4), by comparison of retention times (gas chromatography) with known samples. A possible mechanism for...
