Abstract:
An optimization strategy for an isocratic reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic system (RP-HPLC) is described. Factorial design and a computer program are used to predict the retention time and resolution of fourteen steroids. An optimized rapid (less than 25 min) isocratic RP-HPLC system for the satisfactory separation of cortisone, cortisol, corticosterone, 11-deoxycortisol, 11-deoxycorticosterone, 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone, progesterone, androstenedione, testosterone, estrone, estradiol, estriol, prednisone acetate and dexamethasone acetate has been developed using this strategy through eight experiments.

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...

Band broadening refers to spreading solute bands as they travel through the column. This broadening can impact resolution. Plate height (H) represents the length required for one theoretical plate. A lower plate height corresponds to...
