a. Why are HPLC particles porous?

b. Why are the particles with60-120A°pores used for small molecules but wide pore300-A°stationary phases used to separate polypeptides and proteins?s

Short Answer

Expert verified

The porous HPLC particles increase the surface area, resulting in greater sample capacity.

Smaller pore stationary phases are used for small molecules, but wide pore stationary phases are used to separate polypeptides and proteins because the pores must be large enough for the dissolved substances to enter. Larger pores take up more surface area, so they should be avoided if possible.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:Explanation

For part a, Because porous HPLC particles increase surface area, they have a higher sample capacity.

02

Explanation

For part b, Smaller pore stationary phases are used to separate small molecules, whereas wide pore stationary phases are used to separate polypeptides and proteins because the pores must be large enough for the dissolved substances to enter. Because larger pores take up more surface area, they should be avoided if possible.

Most popular questions from this chapter

what is the difference between extra-column volume and dwell volume? How do each of these volumes affect a chromatogram?

After poisonous melamine and cyanuric acid appeared in milk in China (Box11-3) in 2008, there was a flurry of activity to develop methods to measure these substances. An analytical method for milk is to treat 1volume of milk with 9 volumes of H2O2CH3CN(20:80vol/vol)to precipitate proteins. The mixture is centrifuged for 5minto remove precipitate. The supernatant liquid is filtered through a 0.5-μmfilter and injected into a HILIC liquid chromatography column (TSK gel Amide-stationary phase) and products are measured by mass spectrometry with selected reaction monitoring (Section 22-5). Melamine is measured in positive ion mode with the transitionm/z127→85. Cyanuric acid is measured in negative ion mode with the transition m/2128→42.

(a) Write the formulas for the four ions and propose structures for all four ions.

(b) Even though milk is a complex substance, only one clean peak is observed for melamine and one for cyanuric acid spiked into milk. Explain why

The rate at which heat is generated inside a chromatographycolumn from friction of flowing liquid is power (watts, W=J/s)= volume flow raterole="math" localid="1656474760665" (m3/s)×pressure drop (pascals, role="math" localid="1656474828044" Pa=kg/[m?s2]).

(a) Explain the analogy between heat generated in a chromatography column and heat generated in an electric circuit (power = current×voltage).

(b) At what rate (watts = J/s) is heat generated for a flow of 1 mL/minwith a pressure difference of3500 bar between the inlet and outlet?

You will need to convert mL/min tom3/s.Also 1 bar=105Pa.

Question:The graph shows retention data from aC8silica column with an acetonitrile/water mobile phase.


(a) What mobile phase composition provides greatest retention(k)for the components? Least retention? Coelution (equalk)of two components?

(b) Predict the retention time of each peak at 40%and60%acetonitrite. Draw a chromatogram (a "stick diagram" representing each peak as a vertical line) of the separation at each mobile phase composition.

(c) Would60%acetonitrile yield adequate resolution?

(d) Assuming Gaussian peaks, does the separation at60%acetonitrile have the attributes of a good separation?

The chromatogram in Box 25-3 shows the supercritical fluid chromatography separation of seven steroids monitored by three detectors.

(a) In the middle chromatogram, ultraviolet detection provides near universal response for the steroids, whereas in the lower chromatogram the ultraviolet detector provides a selective response for a few of the steroids. How can ultraviolet detection act as either a selective or universal detector?

(b) Why is a sloping baseline observed at 210 nm, but the baseline is flat at 254 nm?

(c) Use the baseline disturbance early in the 254 nm chromatogram to measure tm. How does the measured value compare with that predicted using Equation 25-5 given that the column is 25 × 0.46 cm and the flow rate is 2.0 mL/min.
