Abstract
The injection volume and the associated column volume overload is one of the most common issues in miniaturized chromatography. The injection volume should not exceed 10% of the effective column volume. A further reduction of the injection volume leads to an increase in chromatographic efficiency. However, the signal intensity must be above a certain threshold to generate a chromatographic peak that can be detected. Therefore, the injection volume has to be optimized to reach the ideal balance between chromatographic efficiency and sensitivity. This study examined the general influence of the injection volume for both isocratic and gradient elution, depending on the retention factor and peak standard deviation. For this purpose, substances of different polarity were selected to represent a broad elution spectrum. Besides the model analyte naphthalene, these were mainly pharmaceuticals. For all measurements a microbore column with an ID of 300 µm and packed with 1.9 μm fully porous particles was used. For isocratic elution, the injection volume was varied between 4 and 16% of the effective column volume. The retention factors were adjusted between 2 and 10. For gradient elution, the injection volume was varied between 4 and 160% of the effective column volume. The observed effects were further investigated using the gradient kinetic plot theory. In isocratic elution, a loss in plate height up to 50% was observed for components that elute near the void time. A significant reduction of the chromatographic efficiency was noticed up to a retention factor of 4. In gradient elution, a reduction in peak capacity could only be observed if the injection volume exceeded 40% of the effective column volume. For some substances, only a slight loss in peak capacity was noticed even with a volume overload of 160%.

Three approaches to improving performance of liquid chromatography using contour maps with pressure, time, and number of theoretical plates. J Chromatogr A 2020; 1637:461778. [PMID: 33359796 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2020.461778] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2020] [Revised: 11/23/2020] [Accepted: 11/29/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Attempts to improve HPLC performance often focus on increasing the speed or separation performance. In this article, both the flow rate and column length are optimized as separation conditions, while observing the number of theoretical plates and hold-up time with isocratic elutions. In addition, the upper pressure limit must be simultaneously considered as the boundary condition. Approaches based on the optimal velocity (Opt.) are often adopted; but the kinetic performance limit (KPL) in Desmet's method can also be utilized for three-dimensional graphing with axes of pressure, time, and number of theoretical plates. Here, two approaches involving pressure increase are introduced, beginning with the condition of optimal linear velocity: one aimed at greater speed and the other at higher resolution. Coefficients of pressure-application are derived to measure the effectiveness of the intermediate conditions between the Opt. and KPL methods. In the third approach, the hold-up time is extended while maintaining a fixed pressure. Coefficients of time-extension are also derived, to determine the effectiveness to improve the separation performance.

Abstract
By combining separation efficiency data as a function of flow rate with the column permeability, the kinetic plot method allows to determine the limits of separation power (time vs. efficiency) of different chromatographic techniques and methods. The technique can be applied for all different types of chromatography (liquid, gas, or supercritical fluid), for different types of column morphologies (packed beds, monoliths, open tubular, micromachined columns), for pressure and electro-driven separations and in both isocratic and gradient elution mode. The present contribution gives an overview of the methods and calculations required to correctly determine these kinetic performance limits and their underlying limitations.

Abstract
The thermal stability of poly[1-(trimethylsilyl)-1-propyne] is investigated by heating the capillary column with this polymer as the stationary phase with the subsequent separation of the test mixture of light hydrocarbons. It is shown that heating of the column up to 130°C does not cause a decrease in efficiency or in the retention time of solutes. A further increase in temperature results in both decrease in column efficiency and sorbate retention. However, a decrease in column retentivity goes in one way for all the tested hydrocarbons. At the same time, the efficiency of the column is changed to a lesser degree for methane and ethane up to the temperature of polymer degradation, while for propane, butane, and iso-butane the difference is rather sharp. The most expressed decrease in efficiency was found for iso-butane: the column efficiency for this sorbate versus temperature of heating had two stages. The diffusion coefficients for sorbates in the polymeric phase were also evaluated and the sharp decrease in their values was found after the column heating.
