The effectiveness of several basic compounds for testing silica-based stationary phases was reviewed by applying them to recent columns for reversed-phase HPLC. Most octadecylsilylated (C8) stationary phases, prepared as a base-deactivated material from high-purity silica gel with endcapping, provided excellent peak shape and column efficiency for the bases including benzylamine and amitriptyline that once caused problems and were subsequently employed for testing silanol activities. However, a cyclic tertiary amine, dextrometorphan, was eluted as an acceptable peak from only a few columns at neutral ph. Such a more sensitive probe is expected to contribute to further improvement of the stationary phase for reversed-phase HPLC. Experimental Explanation, Analytical Conditions By conducting the 4 tests below, we can evaluate how high the inertness of the column and whether it can be used in a 00% aqueous mobile phase condition. To strictly evaluate all columns, the below mentioned samples were used, which are all known as strong adsorptive compounds. Basic Compound Test Dextromethorphan is a strong basic compound. Severe tailing can be confirmed when the packing material contains residual silanol groups. H CO H N CH Mobile Phase: A) CH CN B) 5 mm Phosphate buffer (ph.0) A/B = 40/0 Flow Rate:.0 ml/min Col. Temp.: 40 Detection: Injection Vol.: UV 0 nm ul. Phenol (0.05 mg/ml). Dextromethorphan HBr (0. mg/ml) Acidic Compound Test Sharp peaks can be obtained when analyzing Phenol or Salicylic Acid. However, as Brilliant Blue FCF has three sulfonic groups in its chemical structure, tailing will occur when the surface of the packing material is slightly basic. - O S N SO - N + SO - Mobile Phase: A) CH CN B) 0. % H PO 4 A/B = 5/5 Flow Rate:.0 ml/min Col. Temp.: 40 Detection: Injection Vol.: UV 54 nm ul. Brilliant Blue FCF (0.05 mg/ml). Phenol (0. mg/ml). Salicylic acid (0. mg/ml) Chelating Compound Test Hinokitiol is a strong chelating compound, which coordinately binds with the surface of the residual trace metal impurities, resulting in causing a severe tailing. However, the peak shape improves as the injection increases since the surface of the packing material of the adsorption active sites will be masked. O OH Mobile Phase: A) CH CN B) 0. % H PO 4 A/B = 40/0 Flow Rate:.0 ml/min Col. Temp.: 40 Detection: Injection Vol.: UV 54 nm ul. Hinokitiol (0. mg/ml) When analyzing hydrophilic compounds in a water rich mobile phase condition, once the pump is stopped, the hydrophobic group pushes out the mobile phase out from the pore, resulting in causing a dewetting phenomenon. In such condition, even after introducing the mobile phase again, sudden loss of retention will be experienced as the mobile phase cannot be introduced to the pore thoroughly.

Comparison of Separation Pattern between ODS and C8 columns Shortening the analysis time without changing the separation pattern It is well known to use a C8 column when observing the retentivity of an ODS column to be too strong. It would be ideal to obtain the same separation pattern without changing the mobile phase conditions. Inertsil C8-4 provides the same separation pattern and extreme inertness to any type of compounds just like Inertsil ODS-4, which enables easy method transfer from ODS-4 to C8-4. Commercially available ODS and C8 columns show dramatically different selectivity even though it is from the same brand/series. For example, the elution position of Sample No., Triphenylene were different between commercially available ODS and C8 columns from the same brand/series. This indicates that the stereoselectivty between those ODS and C8 columns are different as the bonding density of the functional group is high on their C8 column when comparing from their ODS column. Therefore, caution needs to be taken when changing the column from their ODS to C8 column. Experimental Explanation of Selectivity Test Sample No., Uracil cannot be retained in a reversed phase mode when using the mobile phase condition described on the right. Therefore, Uracil was used to determine the t0 position. t0: Void Volume Sample No.,, Caffeine and Phenol are used to confirm the amount of residual silanol on the surface of the silica gel. Caffeine elutes later against Phenol when there is a lot of residual silanol on the surface of the silica gel. Sample No.4, n-butylbenzene and Sample No., n-amylbenzene were used to determine the hydrophobic property of the column. n-amylbenzene elutes later against n-butylbenzene when the hydrophobicity of the column is high. Stereoselectivity is indicated by Sample No.5, o-terphenyl and Sample No., Triphenylene. O-Terphenyl has a twisted tertiary structure and Triphenylene has a planar structure. Triphenylene elutes later against o-terphenyl when the stereoselectivity of the column is high. Mobile Phase: A) CH OH B) H O A/B = 80/0 Flow Rate:.0 ml/min Col.

Theoretically, the carbon loading ratio shall be 0.44 =8/8. The carbon loading ratio of Inertsil 4 series is 0.45 and we have successfully obtained the same separation pattern between ODS-4 and C8-4. Now, not only the analysis time can be shortened, but the same separation pattern can be obtained using Inertsil 4 series.
