In summary, argentation HPLC provides a useful alternative to conventional reversed phase chromatography for the isolation and quantitation of prostaglandins. The major advantages of this technique are that it provides a better resolution of compounds which... 

In summary, an effective resolution of even the most complex mixtures of steroids may be achieved by using a combination of normal and reversed phase chromatography. 

The method for chloroacetanilide soil metabolites in water determines concentrations of ethanesulfonic acid (ESA) and oxanilic acid (OXA) metabolites of alachlor, acetochlor, and metolachlor in surface water and groundwater samples by direct aqueous injection LC/MS/MS. After injection, compounds are separated by reversed-phase HPLC and introduced into the mass spectrometer with a TurboIonSpray atmospheric pressure ionization (API) interface. Using direct aqueous injection without prior SPE and/or concentration minimizes losses and greatly simplifies the analytical procedure. Standard addition experiments can be used to check for matrix effects. With multiple-reaction monitoring in the negative electrospray ionization mode, LC/MS/MS provides superior specificity and sensitivity compared with conventional liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) or liquid chromatography/ultraviolet detection (LC/UV), and the need for a confirmatory method is eliminated. In summary,... 

The following table provides a summary of the general characteristics of the most popular stationary phases used in modem high-performance liquid chromatography.1 7 The most commonly used phases are the bonded reverse phase materials, in which separation control is a function of the mobile (liquid) phase. The selection of a particular phase and solvent system is an empirical procedure involving survey analyses. The references provided below will assist the reader in this procedure. 

In summary, for the chromatographic resolution of sterols it is advisable that reversed phase techniques should be tried initially and in the event of co-elution normal phase chromatography on silica should be tried as an alternative option. For very specific separations where the aforementioned techniques have failed, either NARP or argentation chromatography could be attempted although it is probable that if reversed phase or normal phase failed to elicit a separation, the remaining techniques would also be unsuccessful. 

Many of the applications within forensic science adopt a reverse phase (RP) HPLC mode of separation in relation to analyses. We have chosen to use example applications of HPLC based on this particular mode of chromatography because it is the most frequently used. We have broken each chapter down into theoretical considerations with examples where appropriate, a key point summary, a series of questions where appropriate, and, finally, a list of books and journal articles that we believe will give further, thorough insight into each of the topics covered. We have attempted to keep the book as succinct as possible whilst still providing sufficient information to allow the reader to develop his or her knowledge at an effective pace. 

Liquid chromatography/MS has also very recently been used for selenate and selenite determination and selenomethionine. And another recent liquid chromatographic hyphenated method, liquid chromatography-hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry, has been used to determine selenite, selenate, selenocysteine, and selenomethionine in a single run. Reverse-phase and ion-exchange columns were used in series to accomplish the complex separation of all four of these analytes. And microchip capillary electrophoresis has most recently been used for determination of various Se-amino acids with negligible sample consumption . An excellent US Center for Disease Control summary of Se analytical methods is available. ... 

The setnp for polymer HPLC is qnite similar to SEC systems with a few modifications. Liqnid Adsorption Chromatography (LAC) requires the adsorption and desorption on a stationary phase. Therefore, in most cases isocratic separation is not sufficient. Gradients with respect to pH valne, ionic strength, eluent composition, or temperature are applied. The most common approach is to use eluent composition gradients. In contrast to SEC where polymeric phases dominate, silica-based column packings are the most important stationary phase. Both normal phase and reversed phase separations have been described. A summary of different applications in copolymer separation is offered by Pasch [27]. Detectors used in gradient LAC are mainly UV/DAD detectors and ELSD. 

Details to this outline can be found in the 7th edition of the Cyclobond handbook from Supelco, Bellefonte, PA [34]. Unlike conventional chromatography, the inclusion phenomena create some unusual reactions to certain operating conditions, especially temperature and flow rate. This unusual behavior is most pronounced in the reversed-phase mode and to a lesser extent in the polar organic mode. The following table is a summary of the controlling parameters for each three mobile phase type ...
