INTRODUCTION TO LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY
• It is a versatile technique available to an analyst.• It is simple method and has a high capability for high
resolution separations.• Separations are caused by diverse characteristics like
1) Polarity of the solutes
2) Ionic nature
3) Molecular weight
4) Partitioning ability
5) Ability to form affinity complexes
INTRODUCTION TO LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY
• The word liquid chromatography is used today is the method in which the separation take place in a packed column.
• The packaging material is the stationary phase and a solid with an inert support coated with a liquid phase.
• A liquid mobile phase is used as eluant.
INTRODUCTION TO LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY

High Performance Liquid Chromatography
• The most widely used analytical separations technique.• Utilizes a liquid mobile phase to separate components
of mixture.• Uses high pressure to push solvent through the column.• Popularity: – Sensitivity.– Suitable for separating nonvolatile species .– widespread applicability to substances that are of prime
interest to industry, to many fields of science.
High Performance Liquid Chromatography is
• Ideally suited for separation and identification of amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, hydrocarbons, carbohydrates, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, pigments, antibiotics, steroids, and a variety of other inorganic substances.
Advantages to HPLC
• Higher resolution and high speed of analysis.• HPLC columns can be reused without repacking or
regeneration.• Greater reproducibility due to close control of the
parameters affecting the efficiency of separation.• Easy automation of instrument operation and data
analysis.• Adaptability to large-scale, preparative procedures.
Advantages to HPLC
• Advantages of HPLC are result of 2 major advances:– stationary supports with very small particle
sizes and large surface areas.– appliance of high pressure to solvent flow.

Liquid-liquid partition chromatography
• In this relative method stationary phase is liquid coated onto a solid support.
• The relative distribution of solutes in between two phases determines the separation of substance.
• This can be further classified into
1) Normal phase chromatography – Stationary phase is
polar and mobile is non-polar.
2) Reverse phase chromatography – Stationary phase is
non-polar and mobile phase is polar.

ADSORPTION CHROMATOGRAPHY
◊ Adsorption is a surface phenomenon where interaction takes place only on the surface of adsorbent.
◊ The interaction is competitive.◊ Solute having high affinity towards stationary
phase will be adsorbed first compared to less affinity molecules.
◊ Adsorbed solute is replaced from stationary phase by mobile phase.
STATIONARY PHASE
SOLUTES
High Affinity
Low Affinity
Direction of Mobile Phase
◊ The stationary phase in adsorption Chromatography is called "Adsorbent"
Types of adsorbents: (Stationary phase) ◊ Usually a solid such as silica gel, alumina
(Al2O3) or porous glass beads are used.
Types of Mobile Phases:◊ The mobile phases such as heptane, octane,
chloroform etc are used in adsorption chromatography.
SIZE EXCLUSION CHROMATOGRAPHY
• Size-exclusion chromatography is a separation mode based solely on the analyte’s molecular size.
• In this a large molecule is excluded from the pores and migrates quickly, whereas a small molecule can penetrate the pores and migrates more slowly down the column.
SIZE EXCLUSION CHROMATOGRAPHY
It is often called Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) or Gel-filtration chromatography (GFC)
Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) - when used to determine the molecular weights of organic polymers.
The column is packed with cross-linked polystyrene beads of controlled pore sizes.
It is eluted with common mobile phases such as toluene and tetrahydrofuran.
Gel-filtration chromatography (GFC) when used in the separation of water-soluble biological materials.
Ion exchange Chromatography
• In ion-exchange chromatography, the separation mode is based on the exchange of ionic analytes with the counter-ions of the ionic groups attached to the solid support.
• These resins are coated on to the porous glass bead. Separation takes place by exchange of ion of resin with counter ion of mobile phase.
• These are of two types.
1) Cation-ion exchange resin.
2) Anion-ion exchange resin.

• Typical stationary phases are cationic exchange (sulfonate) or anionic exchange (quaternary ammonium) groups bonded to polymeric or silica materials.
• Mobile phases consist of buffers, often with increasing ionic strength, to force the migration of the analytes.
• Common applications are the analysis of ions and biological components such as amino acids, proteins/peptides, and polynucleotides
• Affinity chromatography: Based on a receptor/ligand interaction in which immobilized ligands (enzymes, antigens, or hormones) on solid supports are used to isolate selected components from a mixture. The retained components can later be released in a purified state.
• Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC): This is somewhat similar to normal phase chromatography using a polar stationary phase such as silica or ion-exchange materials but eluted with polar mobile phases of organic solvents and aqueous buffers. It is most commonly used to separate polar analytes and hydrophilic peptides.
Other Separation Modes
• Chiral chromatography: For the separation of enantiomers using a chiral-specific stationary phase. Both NPC and RPC chiral columns are available.
• Hydrophobic interaction chromatography: Analogous to RPC except that mobile phases of low organic solvent content and high salt concentrations are used for the separation of proteins that are easily denatured by mobile phases with high concentrations of organic solvents used in RPC.
Other Separation Modes
• Electro chromatography: Uses capillary electrophoresis (CE) equipment with a packed capillary HPLC column. The mobile phase is driven by the electromotive force from a high-voltage source as opposed to a mechanical pump. It is capable of very high efficiency.
• Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC): Uses HPLC packed columns and a mobile phase of pressurized supercritical fluids (i.e., carbon dioxide modified with a polar organic solvent). Useful for non-polar analytes and preparative applications where purified materials can be recovered easily by evaporating the carbon dioxide. HPLC pumps and GC-type detectors are often used.

MOBILE PHASE
The mobile phase is the solvent that moves the solute (analyte) through the column. In HPLC, the mobile phase interacts with both the solute and the stationary phase and has a powerful influence on solute retention and separation.
• High solubility for the sample components.• Noncorrosive to HPLC system components.• High purity, low cost, UV transparency.• Other desirable characteristics include low
viscosity, low toxicity, and non-flammability.
HPLC mobile phases should have these characteristics:
Buffers Acidic Mobile Phases Ion-Pairing Additives High pH Mobile Phase
DIFFERENT TYPES OF MOBILE PHASES
• The most common type of solvent reservoir is a glass bottle.
• Most of the manufacturers supply these bottles with special caps, Teflon tubing and filters to connect to the pump inlet and to the sparge gas (helium) used to remove dissolved air.
• Filtration is needed to eliminate suspended particles and organic impurities.
MOBILE PHASE RESERVOIRS
• The main culprit is oxygen (from the air) that dissolves in polar solvents, particularly water.
• The dissolved gases in the mobile phase will come out at column exit or in the detector resulting in sharp peaks.
• The microscopic bubbles can change the nature of the flowing stream making it heterogeneous.
• But peaks can also occur when these microscopic bubbles gradually collect in the detector cell.
Degassing may be accomplished by one or a combination of the following methods:
1) Apply a vacuum to the liquid.2) By Heating.3) Sonication. 4) Sparging.
DEGASSING TECHNIQUES
INTRODUCTIONPumps are used to pass mobile phase at high
pressure and at controlled flow rates.The pump must be capable of generating
pressure of up to 5000 psi at flow rates up to 3 ml/min for analytical situations.
Pumps used in preparative scale HPLC may be required to pump at flow rates of up to 20ml/min.

CRITERIA TO CHOOSE
PACKING MATERIALS
•Particle Shape
•Surface Area
•Particle Size
•Bonding Type
•Pore size
•Carbon load
Particle Shape Spherical particles offer reduced back
pressures and longer column life.
Particle SizeSmaller particles offer higher efficiency,
but also cause higher backpressure. Choose 3µm particles for resolving complex, multi-component samples. Otherwise, choose 5 or 10µm particle size.
Surface AreaHigh surface area generally provides
greater retention, capacity and resolution for separating complex, multi-component samples.
Pore SizeLarger pores allow larger solute
molecules to be retained longer through maximum exposure to the surface area of the particles. Choose a pore size of 150Å or less for sample MW 2000. Choose a pore size of 300Å or greater for sample MW > 2000.
Bonding TypeMonomeric bonding offers increased mass transfer
rates, higher column efficiency, and faster column equilibration.

Polymeric bonding offers increased column stability, particularly when highly aqueous mobile phases are used. Polymeric bonding also enables the column to accept higher sample loading.
Carbon Load Higher carbon loads generally offer greater resolution and longer run times. Low carbon loads shorten run times and many show a different selectivity.
PACKING MATERIALSSilica–based packing material
• Silica can be altered by reaction with organochlorosilanes or organoalkoxysilanes to give Si–O–Si–R linkages with the surface.
• The attachment of hydrocarbon chains to silica produces a non–polar surface suitable for RPC in which mixtures of water and organic solvents are used as eluents.
• The most popular material is octadecylsilica (ODS), which contains C18 chains, but materials with C1, C2, C4, C6, C8 and C22 chains are also available.
• The latest silica–based bonded phase to be introduced is a long C30 phase, which make it one of the most retentive phases available.

SPECIAL SILICAA vast range of materials have
intermediate surface polarities that arise from the bonding to silica of organic compounds that contain groups such as phenyl, cyano, nitro, amino, fluoro, sulfono and diols. There are also miscellaneous chemical moieties bound to silica, as well as polymeric packings, designed to purify specific compounds.
Zirconia packing materials• Zirconia is a metal oxide that is more chemically and thermally
stable than silica. • It is unaffected by changes in ionic strength or organic content of
the mobile phase.• Zirconia packings have a wider pH range and are especially
useful for basic separations at pH 10 or higher, where silica gel starts to dissolve.
• Zirconia can be used for RPC and is extremely stable and efficient through surface modification with polymer or carbon coatings.
• Other chemical modifications of zirconia produce packing materials suitable for normal–phase or ion–exchange chromatography.
• Packing materials based on organic polymers are available. For ex. unmodified styrene–divinylbenzene co–polymers have a hydrophobic character and can be used for RPC.
• Polymeric materials are best when a mobile phase that can go beyond the upper pH limits of silica gel (usually pH 6.5 to 7), as they are stable over a wide pH range.
• They also provide different selectivity and retention characteristics to silica–based reversed phase packings. They avoid problems associated with residual silanol groups (e.g. peak tailing).
• Ion–exchange materials of the styrene–divinylbenzene type are available in which sulfonic acids, carboxylic acids or quaternary ammonium groups are incorporated in the polymeric matrix.
Polymer–based packing materials
