What is HPLC?

High Priced Liquid Chromatography (no joke)

HPLC is really the automation of traditional liquid chromatography under conditions which provide for enhanced separations during shorter periods of time!

Probably the most widely practiced form of quantitative, analytical chromatography practiced today due to the wide range of molecule types and sizes which can be separated using HPLC or variants of HPLC!!

Introduction

HPLC is a form of liquid chromatography used to separate compounds that are dissolved in solution. HPLC instruments consist of mobile phase, a pump, an injector, a separation column, and a detector.

Compounds are separated by injecting a sample mixture onto the column. The different component in the mixture pass through the column at differentiates due to differences in their partition behavior between the mobile phase and the stationary phase. The mobile phase must be degassed to eliminate the formation of air bubbles.

Uses of HPLC

This technique is used for chemistry and biochemistry research analyzing complex mixtures, purifying chemical compounds, developing processes for synthesizing chemical compounds, isolating natural products, or predicting physical properties. It is also used in quality control to ensure the purity of raw materials, to control and improve process yields, to quantify assays of final products, or to evaluate product stability and monitor degradation.

And more using…

HPLC columns

The column is one of the most important components of the HPLC chromatograph because the separation of the sample components is achieved when those components pass through the column. The High performance liquid chromatography apparatus is made out of stainless steel tubes with a diameter of 3 to 5mm and a length ranging from 10 to 30cm.

Several column types(can be classified as )

Normal phase

Reverse phase

Size exclusion

Ion exchange

Normal phase

In this column type, the retention is governed by the interaction of the polar parts of the stationary phase and solute. For retention to occur in normal phase, the packing must be more polar than the mobile phase with respect to the sample

Reverse phase

In this column the packing material is relatively nonpolar and the solvent is polar with respect to the sample. Retention is the result of the interaction of the nonpolar components of the solutes and the nonpolar stationary phase. Typical stationary phases are nonpolar hydrocarbons, waxy liquids, or bonded hydrocarbons (such as C18, C8, etc.) and the solvents are polar water-organic mixtures such as methanol-water .

Size exclusion

In size exclusion the HPLC column is consisted of substances which have controlled pore sizes and is able to be filtered in an ordinarily phase according to its molecular size. Small molecules penetrate into the pores within the packing while larger molecules only partially penetrate the pores. The large molecules elute before the smaller molecules.

Ion exchange

In this column type the sample components are separated based upon attractive ionic forces between molecules carrying charged groups of opposite charge to those charges on the stationary phase. Separations are made between a polar mobile liquid, usually water containing salts or small amounts of alcohols, and a stationary phase containing either acidic or basic fixed sites.

What does the analyst do?

Select the correct type of separation for the analyte(s) of interest, based on the sample type (among other factors).

Select an appropriate column (stationary phase) and mobile phase

Select an appropriate detector based on whether universal or compound-specific detection is required or available

Optimize the separation using standard mixtures

Analyze the standards and sample

Optimization of Separations in HPLC

Correct choice of column so the above equilibrium has some meaningful (non-infinity, non-zero) equilibrium constants.

Correct choice of mobile phase Decision on the type of mobile phase

composition constant composition = isocratic varying composition = gradient elution

Determination if flow rate should be constant usually it is

Decision on heating the column heating HPLC columns can influence the above

equilibrium….

The Mobile Phase in HPLC... Must do the following:

solvate the analyte molecules and the solvent they are in be suitable for the analyte to transfer “back and forth”

between during the separation process

Must be: compatible with the instrument (pumps, seals, fittings,

detector, etc) compatible with the stationary phase readily available (often use liters/day) of adequate purity

• spectroscopic and trace-composition usually! Not too compressible (causes pump/flow problems)

• Free of gases (which cause compressability problems)
