Charles Lévesque*, Vincent Bédard and François Béland SiliCycle ® Inc., 2500 Parc-Technologique Blvd, Quebec City (Quebec), G1P 4S6, Canada *([email protected]) Introduction HPLC method development for the analysis of mixtures is a task that usually requires much expertise and is also extremely time-consuming. In spite of advances in chromatographic theory, HPLC method development is still based mainly on “trial and error”. Consequently, many attempts have been made to use computer programs to facilitate this process. In general, these are stand-alone programs, such as ChromSword ® (Merck KGaA), DryLab ® (Molnár-Institute) and others. But these approaches are very limited due to the fact that they require the use of an universal HPLC column. Based on the United States Pharmacopia (USP) website, there are about 380 different HPLC C18 columns on the market and this number increases each year. It’s very challenging to find the best HPLC column to suit specific applications. The chromatographer needs a lot of experience to elaborate a quick and efficient HPLC method. To address this, SiliCycle has developped several C18 chemistries covering a very wide range of HPLC applications in combination with a generic approach in order to determine the best Silia Chrom column.

Using only these three phases, we are able to obtain over 90% succes in separating most compounds from different matrices. In this poster, we have shown phases that are effective in low and high pH conditions and a new polar phase that works for practically any type of analyte (acidic, neutral and basic, limited to pH between 1.5-9). We have demonstrated that it is possible to have high efficiency at low cost by using SiliaChrom generic approach.

Each HPLC column was used under extreme conditions and even after 5 days of continuous injections, the number of theoretical plates (N), the tailing factor (TF) and the retention times (RT) are comparable. Both sorbents kept their chemical and structural properties as proven by similar chromatograms and scanning electron microscope pictures (SEM) before and after 120 hours of use.

Introduction

HPLC method development for the analysis of mixtures is a task that usually requires much expertise and is also extremely time-consuming. In spite of advances in chromatographic theory, HPLC method development is still based mainly on “trial and error”. Consequently, many attempts have been made to use computer programs to facilitate this process. In general, these are stand-alone programs, such as ChromSword® (Merck KGaA), DryLab® (Molnár-Institute) and others. But these approaches are very limited due to the fact that they require the use of an universal HPLC column.

Based on the United States Pharmacopia (USP) website, there are about 380 different HPLC C18 columns on the market and this number increases each year. It’s very challenging to find the best HPLC column to suit specific applications. The chromatographer needs a lot of experience to elaborate a quick and efficient HPLC method. To address this, SiliCycle has developped several C18 chemistries covering a very wide range of HPLC applications in combination with a generic approach in order to determine the best SiliaChrom column.

SiliaChrom SB or XT

(low and/or high pH)

It is possible, with SiliaChrom HPLC products, to consider a generic approach for HPLC method development by using just a few HPLC phases. Using only these three phases, we are able to obtain over 90% succes in separating most compounds from different matrices. In this poster, we have shown phases that are effective in low and high pH conditions and a new polar phase that works for practically any type of analyte (acidic, neutral and basic, limited to pH between 1.5-9). We have demonstrated that it is possible to have high efficiency at low cost by using SiliaChrom generic approach.

Stability studies were performed on both low and high pH conditions using SiliaChrom SB C18 and XT C18 Fidelity HPLC columns respectively. Each HPLC column was used under extreme conditions and even after 5 days of continuous injections, the number of theoretical plates (N), the tailing factor (TF) and the retention times (RT) are comparable. Both sorbents kept their chemical and structural properties as proven by similar chromatograms and scanning electron microscope pictures (SEM) before and after 120 hours of use.
