Introduction Solvent Focusing Many Gas Chromatography (GC) analyses require very low detection of target analytes, such as drugs of abuse or environmental contaminants. However, GC analysts often struggle with attaining a method that is sensitive enough to meet the method detection limits (MDLs). This technical note discusses two simple ways of attaining sharper peak shape and higher sensitivity so that you can achieve the required MDLs. The first strategy, solvent focusing, is a technique used by analysts when making on-column or splitless injections. The second strategy, proper GC column selection, is critical in order to ensure that the lowest baseline and sharpest peak is attained. Utilizing both of these methods will help provide the best results for GC methods with low MDL requirements. The purpose of solvent focusing is to get narrow peaks without doing a split injection. Attaining narrow peaks without splitting the sample is important because it allows for greater sensitivity without sacrificing resolution. By correctly setting the GC parameters, solvent focusing can be used to obtain narrow and symmetrical peaks for the majority of analyses. Solvent focusing occurs via two mechanisms. The first mechanism occurs during splitless injections when a vaporized sample condenses on a cool column. Because the volume of a gas is much larger than that of a liquid, when the sample condenses, it is focused into a small area on the column. The second mechanism applies to both splitless and on-column injections and requires a ramped oven program. Unlike the first mechanism, both the solvent and the analytes must condense on the column upon injection. The condensed sample forms a flooded zone on the column s surface. The flooded zone slowly decreases in size as the solvent evaporates, concentrating the analytes that are dissolved in the solvent (Figure ). By the time all of the solvent has evaporated, the analytes will be focused into a tight band on the column. For both forms of solvent focusing to occur, either the analytes or both the solvent and the analytes must condense onto the column. There are several parameters in a GC system which affect a sample s rate of condensation (Table ). These parameters include the initial oven temperature, the volatility of the solvent and analyte, and the phase ratio. In this technical note, we will be discussing how different GC parameters affect solvent focusing. We will also demonstrate how changing the initial oven temperature can easily provide improved chromatographic results with sharper peak shape. For additional technical notes, visit GC Parameters Affecting Solvent Focusing When doing solvent focusing, the initial oven temperature is the most convenient parameter to adjust. A good starting point is 50 ºC below the boiling point of the earliest eluting analyte. This temperature should be held for the duration of the splitless hold time to ensure that the entire sample is focused onto the column. TN-036 APPLICATIONS The second GC parameter that affects solvent focusing is a column s phase ratio. Unlike the initial temperature, the phase ratio can only be changed by installing a different column. The lower the phase ratio (greater film thickness), the greater the amount of solvent and analyte that can dissolve in the stationary phase. Working with a low phase ratio column may allow solvent focusing at temperatures that previously were not viable. Improved Separation of Blood Alcohols Using Zebron ZB-BAC and BAC GC Columns Chris Fernandez, Kory Kelly, and Sky Countryman Phenomenex, Inc., 4 Madrid Ave.Torrance, CA, 9050 USA The third GC parameter that affects solvent focusing is the sample components. In most cases, the sample cannot be manipulated. However, when possible, solvent focusing is best achieved with a solvent that has the greatest difference between the solvent s boiling point and the initial column temperature. For example, if the initial temperature is 30 ºC, ethyl acetate (boiling point. 77. ºC) will have a greater focusing effect than dichloromethane (boiling point 39 ºC). The Zebron ZB-BAC and ZB-BAC GC columns provide extremely reproducible and quantitative analysis of the blood alcohols. Adequate separation of ethanol and other blood alcohols is achieved in under minutes with a ~ 3 % RSD. The Hta HT-00H autosampler provides consistent injection volumes. Introduction Figure. Analyte distribution during a temperature programmed run. In Phase the oven is set at a low initial temperature. In Phases and 3 the oven ramps up causing the solvent to evaporate. The determination of blood alcohol content (BAC) is one of the most common tests performed by forensic laboratories. A typical BAC analysis involves headspace-gas chromatography to prevent contamination at the head of the GC column from nonvolatile components in the sample. Many places have recently begun using dual-column GC analyses to confirm the presence of ethanol. These two columns must have different selectivities to ensure that any analytes identified on the first column elute at a different retention time on the second column. Phase. The sample has condensed on a cool column When performing dual column analysis, the major challenge is finding two dissimilar phases that provide adequate resolution of all analytes, while maintaining reasonable analysis times. In BAC analysis, baseline resolution for all analytes of interest and ultra fast analysis time (under five minutes) are critical because of the high throughput nature of most forensic labs. The most critical blood alcohol compound is ethanol. However, there are other compounds that could be present in the blood stream that may interfere with the identification or quantitation of ethanol. First, a small amount of methanol is usually present in ethanol as a byproduct of the distillation process. Therefore, a small amount of methanol may also be present in blood as a result of ethanol consumption. Second, isopropanol (the main ingredient of rubbing alcohol) can also be present in the blood as a result of absorption through skin or from inhalation of rubbing alcohol vapor. Once in the blood stream, the consumed ethanol may also oxidize to acetaldehyde. Another metabolite to take into account when testing for BAC is acetone. This metabolite is particularly prominent in diabetics because acetone is produced as a result of ketoacidosis. Since many of the mentioned compounds may co-elute with ethanol on a GC column, most BAC analyses need to take these possible interferences into account when determining blood alcohol content. To ensure proper identification and quantitation, it is important to use GC columns that can provide the best resolution of ethanol from all other components potential interferences. Phase. The volatile solvent begins to evaporate, concentrating the sample Phase 3. All of the solvent has evaporated leaving the analyte in a tight band Table. GC system parameters that affect solvent focusing. GC Parameters Affect on Solvent Focusing Initial oven temperature The lower the initial oven temperature, the greater the rate of sample condensation. Phase ratio The lower the phase ratio (greater film thickness), the greater the rate of sample condensation. Volatility of the solvent The higher the boiling point of the sample and analyte components, the greater the rate of condensation. Quantification of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, acetaldehyde, and acetone is usually done using an internal standard method. Typical internal standards include t-butanol, n-propanol, and - butanol. Many forensic scientists will use any of these three internal standards depending on their specific needs. Another reason for using more than one internal standard is that n-propanol has been shown to be present in postmortem specimens, which would interfere with quantitative results. Quantitative results must usually be precise to within ± 5 %. The goal of this study is to demonstrate the capabilities of two new GC phases, Zebron ZB-BAC and ZB-BAC, to accurately identify and quantify trace amounts of alcohols or possible alcohol interferents in blood with fast analysis times (from to 4 minutes). All samples were analyzed by headspace-gc-fid. The blood alcohol analytes in each sample consisted of methanol, acetaldehyde, ethanol, acetone, and isopropanol diluted to 0.05, 0.050, 0.00, 0.00, and % in water. This calibration range is in accordance with the typical 0.08 % blood alcohol limit for a DUI conviction in all 50 states in the US. Signal-to-noise data from the chromatograms have been used to determine a limit of detection (LOD) and a limit of quantitation (LOQ) for each of the five analytes. The two new GC column phases provided enhanced resolution of ethanol from closely eluting compounds while also exhibiting the ability to quantify a blood alcohol concentration between %. Relative standard deviations (RSD), absolute and relative to the internal standards, have been tabulated at the 0.05 and 0.00 % concentration levels to illustrate the precision of the application. Experimental Analysis of each sample was conducted on a HP6890 gas chromatograph (Agilent Technologies) using a Phenomenex Zebron ZB-35 GC column, 30 m x 0.53 mm ID x 0.50 μm. Additional parameters for the GC method are included in Figure. Experimental Page of 4 For additional technical notes, visit tel.: (30) I fax: (30) I web: I info@phenomenex.com
