Summary

Packing fused-silica capillaries using liquid slurry or supercritical CO2 methods yielded similar results. Ultrasonication during liquid slurry packing minimized variations, suggesting it is the most reproducible method for preparing capillary columns.

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Chromatography

Background:

  • Fused-silica capillaries are widely used in chromatography.
  • Reproducible packing is crucial for consistent analytical performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the reproducibility of capillary column packing using different methods.
  • To evaluate the impact of ultrasonication on packing reproducibility.

Main Methods:

  • Packing 50 µm I.D. fused-silica capillaries with 3 µm octadecylsilane bonded silica.
  • Utilizing liquid slurry and supercritical CO2 carrier methods, with and without ultrasonication.
  • Analyzing a neutral test mixture in reversed-phase mode to assess column performance.

Main Results:

  • No significant differences in electroosmotic flow, migration time, column efficiency, or retention factors were found between packing methods.

  • Observed performance variations were attributed to random differences between columns, not packing techniques.
  • Liquid slurry packing with ultrasonication exhibited the least variation.

    • Conclusions:

    • Packing method has minimal impact on the performance of reversed-phase capillary columns.
    • Ultrasonication during liquid slurry packing offers the highest reproducibility.
    • Random variations between replicate columns are a significant factor in observed performance differences.
