Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Chromatography

Background:

  • Ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) demands robust hardware, particularly for sample injection.
  • Existing injection methods like static-split have poor reproducibility and high sample consumption, while pressure-balanced valves have limited pressure tolerance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel injection valve assembly designed for UHPLC applications.
  • To assess its performance at pressures up to 2070 bar (30,000 psi).

Main Methods:

  • Development and testing of a new injection valve assembly with six miniature electronically controlled needle valves.
  • Evaluation of injection volume accuracy, precision, and reproducibility (retention time, efficiency, peak area).
  • Performance assessment in both isocratic and gradient UHPLC modes using a newly designed capillary connector.

Main Results:

  • The new assembly successfully injected sample volumes as small as tenths of a nanoliter with high precision.
  • Reproducibility metrics (retention time, efficiency, peak area) demonstrated low relative standard deviations suitable for quantitative analysis.
  • The injector proved effective in both isocratic and gradient UHPLC separations at pressures up to 2070 bar.

Conclusions:

  • The evaluated injection valve assembly is a viable and effective component for UHPLC systems operating at high pressures.
  • This technology enhances precision and reduces sample volume requirements for quantitative UHPLC.
  • The new design supports versatile UHPLC operation, including gradient elution.
