1 Introduction to the theory of HPLC HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) depends on interaction of sample analytes with the stationary phase (packing) and the mobile phase to effect a separation. Following are explanations of the separation mechanisms commonly used in HPLC. In adsorption chromatography the stationary phase, properly speaking, is the liquid-solid interface Molecules are reversibly bound to this surface by dipole-dipole interactions. Since the strength of interaction with the surface is different for different compounds, residence time at the stationary phase varies for different substances thus achieving separation. Liquid-solid adsorption chromatography is most often used for polar, non-ionic organic compounds. Partition chromatography is the fundamental distribution mechanism in liquid-liquid chromatography, i. e. when both mobile phase and stationary phase are liquids. Separation by distribution is based on the relative solubility of the sample in the two phases. In normal phase partition chromatography the stationary phase is more polar than the mobile phase, in reversed phase (RP) chromatography the mobile phase is more polar than the stationary phase. Stationary phases may be either coated on to a support, or they may be chemically bonded to the surface. Normal phase partition chromatography is used for very polar organic compounds, while reversed phase chromatography is commonly used for nonpolar or weakly polar substances. Ionic compounds are often better separated by ion exchange chromatography (IEC). In this case, the stationary phase consists of acidic or basic functional groups bonded to the surface of a polymer matrix (resin or silica gel). Charged species in the mobile phase are attracted to appropriate functional groups on the ion exchanger and thereby separated. Ion pairing chromatography is an alternative to ion exchange chromatography. Mixtures of acids, bases and neutral substances are often difficult to separate by ion exchange techniques. In these cases ion pairing chromatography is applied. The stationary phases used are the same reversed phases as developed for reversed phase chromatography. An ionic organic compound, which forms an ionpair with a sample component of opposite charge, is added to the mobile phase. This ion-pair is, chemically speaking, a salt which behaves chromatographically like a non-ionic organic molecule that can be separated by reversed phase chromatography. Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) or gel permeation chromatography (GPC) uses as the stationary phase a porous matrix which is permeated by mobile phase molecules. Sample molecules small enough to enter the pore structure are retarded, while larger molecules are excluded and therefore rapidly carried through the column. Thus size exclusion chromatography means separation of molecules by size. The chromatogram below illustrates the most important parameters which characterise a separation. These parameters will be explained in the following paragraphs. t 0 tr1 w 1/2 w t R1 t R2 t R2 retention time 10% of peak height Explanation of the most important parameters to characterise a separation: peak widths: w 1/2 = peak width at half height w = band width of the peak (intersection point of the inflectional tangents with the zero line) peak symmetry is measured at 10% or peak height symmetry parameters: A = peak front at 10% of peak height to peak maximum B = peak maximum to peak end at 10% of peak height retention times t 0 = t R1 Injection dead time of a column = retention time of an unretarded substance,.. = retention times of components 1, 2.. t R2 t R1, t R2.. = net retention times of components 1, 2.. Retention: In an elution chromatographic separation substances differ from each other only in their residence time in or at the stationary phase. From this the following time definitions arise: The total retention time ( t R1 or t R2 ) is the time, which is needed by a sample component to migrate from column inlet (sample injection) to the column end (detector). The dead time t 0 is the time required by an inert compound to migrate from column inlet to column end without any retardation by the stationary phase. Consequently, the dead time is identical with the residence time of the sample compound in the mobile phase. A B 174
2 Introduction to the theory of HPLC The net retention time ( t R1 or t R2 ) is the difference between total retention time and dead time. That is the time the sample component remains in the stationary phase. The capacity factor k is a measure of the position of a sample peak in the chromatogram. It is specific for a given substance. k depends on the stationary phase, the mobile phase, the temperature, quality of the packing etc. The relative retention α, also known as separation factor, is the ratio between two capacity factors, where the figure in the denominator is the reference compound. The relative retention describes the ability of a system of stationary and mobile phase to discriminate between two compounds. It is independent of column construction (length, quality of packing) and flow velocity. It depends on the temperature and the properties of the mobile and stationary phases. Impurities in the mobile phase (e.g. water content) strongly influence the relative retention. Instead of the mobile phase volumetric flow rate F (ml/min) it is advantageous to use the linear velocity u (cm/sec). The linear velocity is independent of the cross section of the column and proportional to the pressure drop in the column. The linear velocity can be calculated by means of the dead time, where L is the column length in cm and t 0 the dead time in sec. The permeability K of a column describes its transmittance for a mobile phase and characterises the hydraulic resistance. The permeability of a column depends on mobile phase, temperature, column length and pressure. A change in permeability indicates a change in the packing (e.g. swelling of ion exchangers, silica gel etc.). The number of theoretical plates n characterises the quality of a column packing and mass transfer phenomena. The larger n, the more complicated sample mixtures can be separated with the column. The height equivalent of a theoretical plate h, HETP, is the length, in which the chromatographic equilibrium between mobile and stationary phase is established. Since a large number of theoretical plates is desired, h should be as small as possible. There are, of course, no real plates in a chromatographic column, since the packing is homogeneous. The value of h is a criterion for the quality of a column. h values depend on the particle size, the flow velocity, the mobile phase (viscosity) and especially on the quality of a packing. For practical reasons, the peak symmetry is measured at 10% of peak height, where A is the distance from peak front to peak maximum and B is the distance from peak maximum to peak end. Ideally symmetry should be 1, i. e. A = B. With values below 1 one speaks of fronting, with values above 1 there is peak tailing. t R1 = t R1 t 0 t R2 = t R2 t 0 t R1 t 0 t R2 t 0 k 1 = k t 2 = t 0 α u k = k 1 = L --- t 0 t R1 n t R1 2 = or n = w w 1 2 h = L -- n B symmetry = --- A 175
3 ideal peak shape symmetry = 1 The following table lists frequent problems in HPLC and possible solutions for: uncommon peak shapes lack of sensitivity poor sample recovery pressure problems baseline problems leaks changing retention times As mentioned above, the ideal peak symmetry is 1.0. Though broad peaks may have a symmetry value of 1, their peak shape indicates a problem in the chromatographic system. If the symmetry deviates largely from 1, it may provide valuable information about problems in a separation system. A uncommon peak shapes 1. broad peaks 1.1. early eluting analyte due to column dilute sample 1:10 and repeat the separation overload 1.2. injection volume too large inject smaller volumes or reduce solvent strength for injection to focus the sample components 1.3. viscosity of mobile phase is too high increase column temperature or use a solvent of lower viscosity 1.4. retention times too long use gradient elution or a stronger mobile phase for isocratic elution 1.5. poor column efficiency use mobile phases of lower viscosity, elevated column temperature, lower flow rate or a packing with smaller particle size 1.6. peak broadening in the injection valve decrease size of the sample loop, or introduce an air bubble in front and back of the sample in the loop 1.7. extra column volume of the LC system too large use zero dead volume fittings and connectors; use smallest possible tubing diameter (<0,25 mm) and matched size of fittings 1.8. volume of detector cell too large use smallest possible cell volume for the sensitivity required; use a detector without heat exchanger in the system 1.9. detector time constant too slow adjust the time constant to the peak width sampling rate of the data system is too low increase the sampling rate only some peaks broad: late elution of analytes from a previous run flush the column with a strong eluent after each run, or end gradient at a higher concentration broad peak symmetry ~ 1 2. peak fronting 2.1. column overload decrease sample amount; increase column diameter; use a stationary phase with higher capacity 2.2. formation of channels in the column buy a new column or have the column repacked (we will be glad to inform you about our refill service) symmetry < 1 fronting 176
