Bone contains 2 to 50 ␮g cholesterol/gram of dry bone. [From A. W. Stott and R. P.Evershed, “ d13 C Analysis of Cholesterol Preserved in Archaeological Bones and 20 30 Teeth,” Anal.

Chem. 1996, 68, 4402.] Cholesterol δ13 C value The 13 C content of cholesterol preserved in ancient bones provides information on the diets of people who lived long ago. Approximately 1.1% of natural carbon is 13 C and 98.9% is 12 C. Different types of plants and animals have consistent, slightly different ratios of 13 C/ 12 C, which reflect their biosynthetic pathways. To learn whether people from the ancient British coastal town of Barton•on•Humber ate mainly plants or fish, cholesterol from the bones of 50 people was extracted with organic 13 12 solvent, isolated by gas chromatography, combusted to convert it into CO 2, and its C/ C ratio measured by mass spectrometry. Observed 13 C/ 12 C ratios differ from that of a standard material by about Ϫ21 to Ϫ24 parts per thousand. A diet of local plants yields a d13 C value (defined in Box 22•3) in cholesterol of Ϫ28 parts per thousand. Values more positive than Ϫ28 parts per thousand are indicative of a marine diet. It appears that the population got much of its food from the sea. Chapter 23 gave a foundation for understanding chromatographic separations. Chapters 24 through 26 discuss specific methods and instrumentation. The goal is for you to understand how chromatographic methods work and what parameters you can control for best results. 24­1 The Separation Process Gas chromatography: in Gas Chromatography mobile phase: gas 1,2 stationary phase: usually a nonvolatile liquid, In gas chromatography, gaseous analyte is transported through the column by a gaseous but sometimes a solid mobile phase, called the carrier gas. In gas•liquid partition chromatography, the stationary analyte: gas or volatile liquid phase is a nonvolatile liquid bonded to the inside of the column or to a fine solid support 528 CHAPTER 24 Gas Chromatography Carrier Figure 24­1 Schematic diagram of a gas gas in chromatograph. Silicone rubber septum Exit Injector port Computer Injector Detector oven Detector oven Column Column oven (Figure 23•6, upper right). In gas•solid adsorption chromatography, analyte is adsorbed directly on solid particles of stationary phase (Figure 23•6, upper left). In the schematic gas chromatograph in Figure 24•1, volatile liquid or gaseous sample is injected through a septum (a rubber disk) into a heated port, in which it rapidly evaporates. Vapor is swept through the column by He, N2, or H2 carrier gas, and separated analytes flow The choice of carrier gas depends on the through a detector, whose response is displayed on a computer. The column must be hot enough detector and the desired separation efficiency to provide sufficient vapor pressure for analytes to be eluted in a reasonable time. The detector and speed. is maintained at a higher temperature than the column so that all analytes will be gaseous. Open Tubular Columns Compared with packed columns, open tubular columns offer The vast majority of analyses use long, narrow open tubular columns (Figure 24•2) made of 1. higher resolution fused silica (SiO ) and coated with polyimide (a plastic capable of withstanding 350°C) for 2 2. shorter analysis time 3 support and protection from atmospheric moisture.

[Courtesy Alltech Associates, State College, PA. ] in Figure 24•3, solid particles are the active stationary phase. With their high surface area, support•coated columns can handle larger samples than can wall•coated columns. The per• formance of support•coated columns is intermediate between those of wall•coated columns and packed columns. Column inner diameters are typically 0.10 to 0.53 mm and lengths are 15 to 100 m, with 30 m being common. Narrow columns provide higher resolution than wider columns (Figure 24•4) but require higher operating pressure and have less sample capacity. Diame• ters of 0.32 mm or greater tend to overload the gas•handling system of a mass spectrome• ter, so the gas stream must be split and only a fraction is sent to the mass spectrometer. The number of theoretical plates, N, on a column is proportional to the length. In Equation 23•30, resolution is proportional to 2N and, therefore, to the square root of column length (Figure 24•5). 3 3 1 4 1 1. 1,3•Dichlorobenzene 4 2. 1,4•Dichlorobenzene 2 3. sec­Butylbenzene 4. 1,2•Dichlorobenzene 2 0.32­mm 0.25­mm inner inner diameter diameter Detector response 1.5 2.0 2.5 1.5 2.0 2.5 Time (min) Figure 24­4 Effect of open tubular column inner diameter on resolution.

[Courtesy J&W Scientific, Folsom, CA. ] At the constant linear velocity in Figure 24•6, increasing the thickness of the stationary phase increases retention time and sample capacity and increases the resolution of early•eluting peaks with a capacity factor of k¿ Շ 5. (Capacity factor was defined in Equation 23•16). Thick films of stationary phase can shield analytes from the silica surface and reduce tailing (Figure 23•20) but can also increase bleed (decomposition and evaporation) of the stationary phase at elevated temperature. A thickness of 0.25 ␮m is standard, but thicker films are used for volatile analytes. The choice of liquid stationary phase (Table 24•1) is based on the rule “like dissolves like.” Nonpolar columns are best for nonpolar solutes (Table 24•2). Columns of intermediate polarity are best for intermediate polarity solutes, and strongly polar columns are best for strongly polar solutes.

  • 9.2.3.7 Retention Parameters in Column Chromatography
    9.2.3.7 Retention Parameters in Column Chromatography Retention parameters may be measured in terms of chart distances or times, as well as mobile phase volumes; e.g., tR' (time) is analogous to VR' (volume). If recorder speed is constant, the chart distances are directly proportional to the times; similarly if the flow rate is constant, the volumes are directly proportional to the times. Note: In gas chromatography, or in any chromatography where the mobile phase expands in the column, VM, VR and VR' represent volumes under column outlet pressure. If Fc, the carrier gas flow rate at the column outlet and corrected to column temperature (see Flow Rate), is used in calculating the retention volumes from the retention time values, these correspond to volumes at column temperatures. The various conditions under which retention volumes (times) are expressed are indicated by superscripts: thus, a prime ('; as in VR') refers to correction for the hold-up volume (and time) while a circle (º; as in VRº) refers to correction for mobile-phase compression. In the case of the net retention volume (time) both corrections should be applied: however, in order not to confuse the symbol by the use of a double superscript, a new symbol (VN, tN) is used for the net retention volume (time). Hold-up Volume (Time) (VM, tM ) The volume of the mobile phase (or the corresponding time) required to elute a component the concentration of which in the stationary phase is negligible compared to that in the mobile phase. In other words, this component is not retained at all by the stationary phase.

Goodnerà USDA, ARS, Citrus & Subtropical Products Lab, Winter Haven, FL 33884, USA Received 24 April 2007; received in revised form 5 July 2007; accepted 16 July 2007 Abstract High-quality regression models of gas chromatographic retention indices were generated for OV-101 (R ¼ 0.997), DB-1 (R ¼ 0.998), DB-5 (R ¼ 0.997), and DB-Wax (R ¼ 0.982) using 91, 57, 94, and 102 compounds, respectively. The models were generated using a second-order equation including the cross product utilizing two easily obtained variables, boiling point and the log octanol-water coefficient. Additionally, a method for determining outlier data (the GOodner Outlier Determination (GOOD) method) is presented, which is a combination of several outlier tests and is less prone to discarding legitimate data.

  • Predicting Kováts Retention Indices Using Graph Neural Networks
    Predicting Kov´ats Retention Indices Using Graph Neural Networks⋆ Chen Qua, Barry I. Schneidera, Anthony J. Kearsleya, Walid Keyrouza, Thomas C. Allisona,∗ aNational Institute of Standards and Technology, 100 Bureau Drive, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899, USA Abstract The Kov´ats retention index is a dimensionless quantity that characterizes the rate at which a compound is processed through a gas chromatography column. This quantity is independent of many experimental variables and, as such, is considered a near-universal descriptor of retention time on a chromatography column. The Kov´ats retention indices of a large number of molecules have been determined experimentally. The “NIST 20: GC Method/Retention Index Li- brary” database has collected and, more importantly, curated retention indices of a subset of these compounds resulting in a highly valued reference database. The experimental data in the library form an ideal data set for training machine learning models for the prediction of retention indices of unknown compounds. In this article, we describe the training of a graph neural network model to pre- dict the Kov´ats retention index for compounds in the NIST library and compare this approach with previous work [1]. We predict the Kov´ats retention index with a mean unsigned error of 28 index units as compared to 44, the putative best result using a convolutional neural network [1]. The NIST library also in- corporates an estimation scheme based on a group contribution approach that arXiv:2012.14798v1 [physics.chem-ph] 29 Dec 2020 achieves a mean unsigned error of 114 compared to the experimental data.
