Abstract:
The optimized reversed-phase HPLC separation of 14 different samples is reported, based on simultaneous changes in temperature and gradient steepness. Four experimental runs are required for each sample, following which preferred conditions can be predicted using computer simulation software (DryLab). The overall accuracy and effectiveness of this method development approach is discussed, with particular attention to the use of resolution maps provided by the software. These maps are useful for maximizing resolution for the total sample, for optimizing the separation of a smaller number of selected sample compounds, and as an initial step in the separation of more demanding samples.

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...
Optimizing Chromatographic Separations
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...
