Abstract:
This communication compares the accuracy of a micro open parallel plate system (microOPPS) with a conventional packed column for predicting isotherm data by using the H-root method (HRM). HRM is restricted to compounds obeying the Langmuir isotherm model. The performance of the two chromatographic systems was simulated by using comprehensive mathematical models. Operating conditions were varied and their effects on the accuracy of predictions was evaluated. Better accuracy in the isotherm predictions was obtained with the packed column due to its higher efficiency. However, good predictions can be obtained with the microOPPS with the advantage of significantly lower sample consumption.

Protein-Drug Binding: Determination Methods
Indirect methods involve isolating the bound drug from its free form in biological samples such as blood, serum, or plasma. These techniques aim to measure the percentage of drugs bound to proteins. Equilibrium dialysis is a commonly used method where the free drug concentration at equilibrium is measured by separating the bound...
Chromatography: Introduction
The phase in which the compounds linger or on which the compounds adsorb is called the stationary phase, whereas the mobile phase is the solvent that carries the solutes to be analyzed. In traditional column chromatography, the mixture flows through the stationary phase, and the compounds partition between the stationary and mobile phases...
