Retention times comparing

The theoretical advantage of colloids is their prolonged intravascular retention time compared to crystalloid solutions. Isotonic crystalloid solutions have substantial interstitial distribution within minutes of IV administration, but colloids remain in the intravascular space for hours or days, depending on factors such as capillary permeability. However, even with intact capillary permeability, the colloid molecules eventually leak through capillary membranes. 

If a GC operator expects a given mixture component to have a very long retention time compared to other mixture components, what vapor pressure and solubility properties would this mixture component have ... 

Chirica and Remcho first created the outlet frit, packed the column with ODS beads, and then fabricated the inlet frit. The column was filled with aqueous solution of a silicate (Kasil) and the entrapment achieved by heating the column to 160 °C [105,106]. The monolithic column afforded considerably reduced retention times compared to the packed-only counterpart most likely due to a partial blocking of the pores with the silicate solution. This approach was recently extended to the immobilization of silica beads in a porous organic polymer matrix [107]. 

Cheney et al. (1995) analyzed steroids by coupling an HPLC purification step with GC/MS. The steroids were initially characterized by their HPLC retention times compared with the retention times of tritium-labeled recovery standards. Next, the nemosteroids were characterized by their GC retention times. Finally, they were identified by their unique fragmentation spectra following derivatization with heptafluorobutyric anhydride or methoxyamine hydrochloride. For structmal identification, the mass spectra were compared to appropriate reference standards. This approach is highly specific, and its sensitivity is increased by the use of SIM. The detection limit for measuring allopregnanolone achieved in the 1995 study was 0.63 pmol (0.2 ng) starting from 100-300 mg of brain tissue. 

The first two points are best dealt with as part of the process for developing vahdated analytical methods. Vafidation should include testing the robustness of a method in repeated use over a period of time determining the precision and accuracy and study of potential interferences. As an example, it would be expected that in the capillary GC—TEA method for organic explosives, a peak should be at least three times the basefine noise to be counted as a real signal, and that the relative retention time should be within 1.0% of the standard for volatile compounds and within 0.5% for the rest. The relative retention time is simply the ratio of the analyte s retention time compared with that of an internal standard. Use of relative retention times significantly improves the repeatabdity of GC analysis... 

Analytes are identified on the basis of retention time compared to standards and with the addition of the suspected compound to the sample (55). The diode array detector has been used recently as an additional aid in the identification of sweeteners and the determination of peak purity (56). Quantification is performed by the internal or external standard method on the basis of peak height or area.

Chlorination of dibenzothiophene produced a complex mixture of PCDTs with one to eight chlorine substituents. Mono- to tri- substituted congeners were most abundant. PCDTs have been found to elute in nonpolar columns in order of the number of chlorine substituents present and to have increased retention times compared to PCDDs [28,31]. 

DOTATATE was labelled with laij and l,u with very high yields, even prior to purification. The two radiochemical species found for DOTATATE by reversed phase HPLC could be interpreted as mono- and diiodinated species. They exhibited a slightly higher retention time compared with the unlabelled peptide, thereby allowing the preparation of a labelled molecule with high specific activity. I-DOTATATE was also obtained with... 

Zhang and Shamsi reported the combination of a chiral column tapered at the outlet end and coupled to ESI-MS for simultaneous analysis of ( )-warfarin and ( )-coumachIor [13]. The chiral CEC was performed in capillaries packed with 5.0 pm (3R, 4S)-Whelk-01 chiral stationary phase. AcetonitriIe/5 mM ammonium acetate (pH 4.0) (70 30, vA ) and methanoI/5 mM anuno-nium acetate (pH 8.5) (70 30, v/v) were used as mobile phase and sheath liquid, respectively. It was found that the externally tapered colunm showed much more reproducible retention time compared to the untapered colunm. However, because of the fragile outlet end of the external... 

We reported that Hm transformants of A. chrysogenum expressing only the DAO gene, as well as some transformants of pHDVll having DAO and weak acylase activities, prO duced GL 7 ACA and GL 7-ADACA (6,7). However, those products were detected as products of different retention times compared with those of standard samples under a newly developed analysis condition of HPLC. Those products were isolated and ana-lyzed by fast atom bombardment mass spectroscopy (FAB-MS). Additionally, the a-hydroxyadipyl side chains of those products were analyzed by an isomer... 

This factor needs to be determined for each hybridoma line if production is to be maximized, although the commonest pattern is during the stationaiy and dying phase (i.e. b above) (typically 80% of hybridoma cell lines). Antibody is susceptible to cleavage by cellular proteases thus culture times should not be extended more than is absolutely essential to maximize yields. Perfusion systems are an advantage in that they reduce product retention time compared to batch cultures. 

A second generation of the tag, cICAT, was developed where C was used instead of and an acid-cleavable site was introduced into the linker. In contrast to and N, C-labeled peptides have identical retention times compared to the light isotope version, and the removal of the biotin moiety increased the spread in reversed-phase LC by a factor of three. The tagging method has been used in a large number of studies in a range of organisms, including bacteria, yeast, maize, mouse, and humans. ... 

The acceleration of elution translates into a decrease of the compound retention times compared to those obtained in FID, for instance. Obviously, the shorter the column is, the more the phenomenon is pronounced. It is not problematic because the elution order of the compounds is conserved. One must nevertheless keep in mind that, when comparing two chromatograms (one in GC, the other in GC-MS), the analyte retention times change even though the chromatographic conditions are identical.
