Gas Chromatography: Types of Columns and Stationary Phases01:17

Gas Chromatography: Types of Columns and Stationary Phases

1.5K
Gas chromatography (GC) relies on stationary phases to separate and analyze components in a sample. There are two main types of stationary phases: liquid and solid. Liquid stationary phases are non-volatile, thermally stable, and chemically inert liquids coated onto the column. Solid stationary phases are particles of adsorbent material, such as silica gel or molecular sieves.
For an analyte to remain on the column for a sufficient amount of time, it must exhibit some level of compatibility (or...

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography: Elution Process

995
In High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), the elution process is critical to the separation of analytes and the quality of chromatographic results. Elution describes how compounds move through the column and separate based on their interactions with the mobile and stationary phases. This process determines the resolution, peak shape, and retention times in the chromatogram, which are essential for identifying and quantifying components in complex mixtures. Understanding the elution...

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography: Introduction

2.8K
High-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC), formerly referred to as High-pressure liquid chromatography, is a powerful technique used to separate, identify, and quantify components in complex mixtures. The term "high pressure" refers to using high pressure to push the liquid mobile phase through the tightly packed columns.
In HPLC, two phases play a critical role in the separation process:

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography: Instrumentation00:57

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography: Instrumentation

2.4K
High-performance liquid chromatography, or HPLC, is an analytical technique that separates liquid samples under high pressures. An HPLC instrument consists of glass bottles for storing solvents called mobile phase reservoirs. HPLC-grade solvents are used to maintain high purity, and the dissolved gases are removed using a degasser, such as a vacuum pumping system or sparging with helium. The solvents are then pumped into the analytical column using a screw-driven syringe or reciprocating pumps.

Principles Of Column Chromatography

7.6K
The chromatography technique was first invented in 1901 by Michael S. Tswett, a Russian botanist, to separate plant pigments using organic solvents. Further, in 1941, Archer John Porter Martin and R. L. M. Synge modified the technique by packing silica gel into a column. A mixture of amino acids was then separated on the packed column using chloroform and water mixture as the mobile phase. This was the first report on column chromatography. At present, column chromatography is a widely used...

Ion-Exchange Chromatography01:09

Ion-Exchange Chromatography

1.1K
Ion-exchange chromatography, or IEC, is a technique for separating ions based on their affinity for the stationary phase. The stationary phase is a cross-linked polymer resin with covalently attached ionic functional groups. The functional groups can be either positively charged (cation exchangers) or negatively charged (anion exchangers). A cation exchanger consists of a polymeric anion and active cations, while an anion exchanger is a polymeric cation with active anions. The choice of...

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Chromatography

Background:

  • Micro-bore columns (1.0 mm i.d.) in chromatography can suffer from significant apparent column efficiency loss.
  • Narrow-bore columns offer advantages in reduced sample and solvent consumption.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a new prototype column hardware with a 1.5 mm internal diameter (i.d.).
  • To compare the performance of 1.5 mm i.d. columns against 1.0 mm and 2.1 mm i.d. columns.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic performance comparison of 2.1 mm, 1.5 mm, and 1.0 mm i.d. columns.
  • Evaluation of column efficiency and peak broadening under isocratic and gradient elution conditions.

Main Results:

  • The 1.5 mm i.d. column significantly reduces apparent column efficiency loss compared to 1.0 mm i.d. columns.
  • Peak broadening with the 1.5 mm i.d. column is comparable to that of 2.1 mm i.d. columns.
  • The 1.5 mm i.d. hardware demonstrates lower sample and solvent consumption and reduced frictional heating.

Conclusions:

  • The 1.5 mm i.d. column hardware presents a viable alternative to both 1.0 mm and 2.1 mm columns.
  • This new hardware balances efficiency, sample/solvent economy, and operational advantages for chromatographic applications.
