A novel flow-dependent separation selectivity (FDSS) effect was discovered in High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Adjusting mobile phase flow rate significantly altered chromatographic selectivity using a novel core-shell stationary phase.
Area of Science:
- Analytical Chemistry
- Chromatography
- Materials Science
Background:
- High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is a key analytical technique.
- Achieving optimal separation selectivity is crucial for complex mixture analysis.
- Current methods often rely on complex mobile phase optimization.
Purpose of the Study:
- To discover and characterize a new separation phenomenon in isocratic HPLC.
- To investigate the influence of mobile phase flow rate on chromatographic selectivity.
- To evaluate a novel core-shell stationary phase for its separation capabilities.
Main Methods:
- Utilized isocratic High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).
- Employed a core-shell stationary phase with a silica core and a Zr-based metal-organic framework (UiO-66) shell.
- Systematically varied the mobile phase flow rate to observe selectivity changes.
Main Results:
- A new flow-dependent separation selectivity (FDSS) effect was identified.
- Significant alterations in chromatographic selectivity were achieved solely by adjusting flow rate.
- The FDSS effect was demonstrated on the novel UiO-66 core-shell stationary phase.
Conclusions:
- The discovered FDSS effect offers a new, simple method for optimizing chromatographic separations.
- Mobile phase flow rate can be leveraged as a powerful tool to tune selectivity in HPLC.
- The UiO-66 core-shell stationary phase exhibits unique properties amenable to flow-dependent selectivity control.

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...
