Chapter 15 Liquid Chromatography Chapter 15 Liquid Chromatography Problem 15.1: Albuterol (a drug used to fight asthma) has a lipid:water KOW (see “Profile—Other Applications of Partition Coefficients”) value of 0.019. How many grams of albuterol would remain in the aqueous phase if 0.001 grams of albuterol initially in a 100 mL aqueous solution were allowed to come into equilibrium with 100 mL of octanol?

After each step, use the albuterol remaining in the aqueous phase from the previous step as the starting quantity for the next step. (Note: the total volume of octanol is the same in both extractions). (b) Compare the final concentration of aqueous albuterol to that obtained in Problem 15.1. Discuss how the extraction results changed by conducting five smaller extractions instead of one large one. What is the downside to the multiple smaller volume method in this exercise compared to the single larger volume method in Problem 15.1? 푦 (a) Each step will have this general form of calculation: 퐾 = 20 푚퐿 푂푊 (푔푖푛푖푡−푦) ⁄100푚퐿 (퐾 )(푔 ) so we can calculate the g transferred to octanol from 푦 = 푂푊 푖푛푖푡 5+퐾푂푊 We can use a spreadsheet to calculate the successive steps: First extraction: KOW= 0.019 Init (g) 0.001 g in Octanol: 3.78561E-06 g left in aq 0.000996214 Total albuteral transferred: 1.87853E-05 Second Extraction: Init (g) 0.000996214 g in Octanol: 3.77128E-06 g left in aq 0.000992443 Third Extraction: Init (g) 0.000992443 g in Octanol: 3.75701E-06 g left in aq 0.000988686 Fourth Extraction: Init (g) 0.000988686 g in Octanol: 3.74278E-06 g left in aq 0.000984943 Fifth Extraction: Init (g) 0.000984943 g in Octanol: 3.72862E-06 g left in aq 0.000981215 (b) In Prob 15.1, the final concentration of albuterol in the water layer would be (1-1.864 x 10-2)mg/0.1L = 9.8136 mg/L In part (a) above, the final concentration of albuterol in the aqueous layer is (1-1.878 x 10-2)mg/0.1L = 9.8122 mg/L In this particular case, the successive extractions only yielded slightly higher extraction of the albuterol, probably because the KOW is so low. In general, we would expect a higher net transfer, but the risk of doing multiple extractions is that errors associated with each step are propagated multiple times. Problem 15.3: Albuterol has a lipid:water KOW value of 0.019. If you were to conduct a chromatographic separation using a polar solvent (i.e., methanol) and a nonpolar stationary phase, would the albuterol’s distribution favor the mobile phase or the stationary phase? Explain your answer. [퐶]표푟푔 We know that 퐾퐷 = 퐾푂푊 = . A large KOW value would indicate a preferential affinity for [퐶]푎푞 an organic or nonpolar phase vs. an aqueous or polar phase. The very low value of KOW indicates that the albuterol would have a higher affinity for the polar solvent than the nonpolar stationary phase. Problem 15.4: Caffeine has a lipid:water KOW value of 0.79. If a mixture of albuterol and caffeine were to be separated using a polar solvent (i.e., methanol) and a nonpolar stationary phase, which component would elute first (having the shorter retention time)? Would the two components elute close to each other—or far apart? Explain. Caffeine (KOW=0.79) has a roughly 40 times greater affinity for the nonpolar stationary phase than does albuterol (KOW = 0.019). The albuterol will have a much shorter retention time than caffeine – they would not be expected to elute close to each other at all. Problem 15.5: Sometimes it is desirable to determine the retention (R) of an analyte as the difference between the observed retention time (tr) and the void time (tm). Using the chromatogram in Figure 15.4, determine the retention (R) of compounds A and B. Compound A: R = tr – tm = 6.6-1.6 = 5.0 min Compound B: R = tr – tm = 10.4 – 1.6 = 8.8 min Problem 15.6: Sometimes you will see chromatographic peaks identified by the volume of mobile phase that was required to elute the sample instead of the time it took for the sample to elute. Using the retention times seen in Figure 15.4, calculate the retention volumes of compounds A and B assuming a flow rate of 1 mL/min. Repeat this exercise assuming a flow rate of 0.7 mL/min. Flow rate of 1 mL/min: Compound A: Vr = tr x rate = (6.6 min)x(1 mL/min) = 6.6 mL Compound B: Vr = 10.4 min Flow rate of 0.7 mL/min: Compound A = (6.6 min)(0.7 mL/min) = 4.6 mL Compound B = 7.3 mL Problem 15.7: Determine the retention factors (kr values) for analytes A and B seen in Figure 15.4. tr−tm 6.6 min − 1.6 min Compound A: kr = = = 3.125 = 3.1 tm 1.6 min tr−tm 10.4 min − 1.6 min Compound B: kr = = = 5.5 tm 1.6 min Problem 15.8: Calculate the retention factor for each peak in the chromatograph seen in Example 15.3 and create a results table that might be used in a report. tr **Note: Met-Enk is labeled as having a tr=10.1, but it Substance (min) kr clearly comes before the 10-minute mark, estimated at t 2.1 --- m around 8.7 min. Gly-Tyr 3.3 0.57 Val-Tyr-Val 6.7 2.19 Met-Enk 10.1 3.81 Met-Enk (actual) 8.7 3.14 Problem 15.9: Use the chromatogram from Example 15.3 to determine the retention times and retention volumes of each of the peaks in this sample and create a results table that might be included in a report. tr Vr Substance (min) (mL) **Note: Met-Enk is labeled as having a tr=10.1, but it t 2.1 --- m clearly comes before the 10-minute mark, estimated at Gly-Tyr 3.3 3.30 around 8.7 min. Val-Tyr-Val 6.7 6.70 Met-Enk 10.1 10.10 Met-Enk (actual) 8.7 8.70 Problem 15.10: Use the chromatograms in panels (B) and (C) from Example 15.4 and estimate the resolution of the two-component system under each of these conditions. What challenges do you face for estimating σ for panel (B)? In terms of the value of the separation, discuss the significance of the resolution in panels (A), (B), and (C) with respect to the speed of the analysis (throughput), quantitative analysis, and qualitative analysis. *** Hint – scan or photo the image and then bring it up in Paint – you can use the pixel index (lower left) for each position and use interpolation to calculate the time of each point. Panel B: Wh,1 = 1.33 min Wh,1 = 2.355σ1 σ1 = 0.5656 Wb1 = 4σ = 2.262 Wh,2 = 1.35 min Wh,2 = 2.355σ1 σ2 = 0.5732 Wb2 = 4σ = 2.293 tr2−tr1 3.5−2 Rs = = = 0.66 (Wb2+Wb1)/2 (2.293+2.262)/2 The challenging thing about Panel B, and the thing that introduces error, is the need to mentally extend the peaks beyond the dip that lies between the two peaks Our measurement of width at half-height is based on an estimate of where the sides of the peaks are. Panel C: Wh,1 = 1.24 min Wh,1 = 2.355σ1 σ1 = 0.5265 Wb1 = 4σ = 2.106 Wh,2 = 1.25 min Wh,2 = 2.355σ1 σ2 = 0.5307 Wb2 = 4σ = 2.123 tr2−tr1 4.75−2.0 Rs = = = 1.3 (Wb2+Wb1)/2 (2.123+2.106)/2 The resolution increases from B to A to C. However, in order to improve resolution, we need to extend the run time, which will decrease throughput. Usually this will increase peak width. Depending upon your analytical needs, this might be an acceptable trade-off. Problem 15.11: In a chromatographic experiment, two components elute with retention times of 11.52 and 12.76 minutes, respectively. The half-height widths of the peaks were determined to be 0.37 and 0.42 minutes, respectively. Assuming Gaussian peak shapes, estimate the resolution between the two peaks. tr2−tr1 12.76−11.52 Rs = = = 3.1 (Wb2+Wb1)/2 (0.37+0.42)/2 Problem 15.12: Use Equation 15.15 to determine Nt for each peak in the chromatogram found in Example 15.4, panel (C). Using values found in Problem 15.10: 2 2 2 2 tr 2.0 tr 4.75 Nt = 16 ( ) = 16 ( ) = 14.4 Nt = 16 ( ) = 16 ( ) = 80.1 Wb 2.106 Wb 2.123 Problem 15.13: Use Equation 15.16 to determine Nt for each peak in the chromatogram found in Example 15.4, panel (A). 2 2 2 2 tr 2.0 tr 4.14 Nt = 5.54 ( ) = 5.54 ( ) = 13.1 Nt = 5.54 ( ) = 5.54 ( ) = 65.9 Wh 1.3 Wh 1.2 Problem 15.14: Relate the multistep extraction process described in Problem 15.2 to the concept of theoretical plates.

A review. Review Article Pavel Jandera Department of Analytical Chemistry, Faculty of Chemical Technology, University of Pardubice, Pardubice 532 10, Czech Republic Received 24 October 2011; Accepted 31 January 2012 Abstract: A theory of comprehensive two-dimensional separations by liquid chromatographic techniques is overviewed. It includes heart-cutting and comprehensive two-dimensional separation modes, with attention to basic concepts of two-dimensional separations: resolution, peak capacity, efficiency, orthogonality and selectivity. Particular attention is paid to the effects of sample structure on the retention and advantages of a multi-dimensional HPLC for separation of complex samples according to structural correlations. Optimization of 2D separation systems, including correct selection of columns, flow-rate, fraction volumes and mobile phase, is discussed. Benefits of simultaneous programmed elution in both dimensions of LCxLC comprehensive separations are shown. Experimental setup, modulation of the fraction collection and transfer from the first to the second dimension, compatibility of mobile phases in comprehensive LCxLC, 2D asymmetry and shifts in retention under changing second-dimension elution conditions, are addressed. Illustrative practical examples of comprehensive LCxLC separations are shown. Keywords:

    Triple-Detection Size-Exclusion Chromatography of Membrane Proteins vom Fachbereich Biologie der Technischen Universit¨atKaiserslautern zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doktor der Naturwissenschaften (Doctor rerum naturalium; Dr. rer. nat.) genehmigte Dissertation von Frau Dipl.-Biophys. Katharina Gimpl Vorsitzende: Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Nicole Frankenberg-Dinkel 1. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Sandro Keller 2. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Rolf Diller Wissenschaftliche Aussprache: 08. April 2016 D 386 Abstract Membrane proteins are generally soluble only in the presence of detergent micelles or other membrane-mimetic systems, which renders the determination of the protein's mo- lar mass or oligomeric state difficult. Moreover, the amount of bound detergent varies drastically among different proteins and detergents. However, the type of detergent and its concentration have a great influence on the protein's structure, stability, and func- tionality and the success of structural and functional investigations and crystallographic trials. Size-exclusion chromatography, which is commonly used to determine the molar mass of water-soluble proteins, is not suitable for detergent-solubilised proteins because the protein{detergent complex has a different conformation and, thus, commonly exhibits a different migration behaviour than globular standard proteins. Thus, calibration curves obtained with standard proteins are not useful for membrane-protein analysis. However, the combination of size-exclusion chromatography with ultraviolet absorbance,

The imprinted polymer can be used as a stationary phase in affinity chromatography.

  • 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.

The binding constants, Kb-[Pb] J ([PW][B]),where [Pb] is the concentration of a protein binding with a bile-salt, [PW]free protein concentration, and [B] the concentration of bile salt present in the micelles, were successfully determined from the slope of a linear curve of the capacity factor (k') of the protein against [B]. The binding constants were almost identical to those obtained by a gel- filtration method. The value of Kb increased with increasing the hydrophobicity of the bile salt or that of the protein. Keywords Protein, bile-salt micelle, binding constant, micellar electrokinetic chromatography Bile salts have been extensively used in several steps of protein purification, such as the selective solubilization Experimental of membranes, the chromatographic separation of proteins, and the reconstitution of proteins.'-5 A Apparatus predominant factor controlling the separation efficiency An MEKC instrument was made in a manner similar of protein purification is the interactive nature between to that reported by Terabe et al.8-10 The instrument the proteins and the bile-salt micelles.

    Separation Science - Chromatography Unit Thomas Wenzel Department of Chemistry Bates College, Lewiston ME 04240 [email protected] LIQUID-LIQUID EXTRACTION Before examining chromatographic separations, it is useful to consider the separation process in a liquid-liquid extraction. Certain features of this process closely parallel aspects of chromatographic separations. The basic procedure for performing a liquid-liquid extraction is to take two immiscible phases, one of which is usually water and the other of which is usually an organic solvent. The two phases are put into a device called a separatory funnel, and compounds in the system will distribute between the two phases. There are two terms used for describing this distribution, one of which is called the distribution coefficient (DC), the other of which is called the partition coefficient (DM). The distribution coefficient is the ratio of the concentration of solute in the organic phase over the concentration of solute in the aqueous phase (the V-terms are the volume of the phases). This is essentially an equilibration process whereby we start with the solute in the aqueous phase and allow it to distribute into the organic phase. soluteaq = soluteorg [solute]org molorg/Vorg molorg x Vaq DC = --------------- = ------------------ = ----------------- [solute]aq molaq/Vaq molaq x Vorg The distribution coefficient represents the equilibrium constant for this process. If our goal is to extract a solute from the aqueous phase into the organic phase, there is one potential problem with using the distribution coefficient as a measure of how well you have accomplished this goal. The problem relates to the relative volumes of the phases.
