Study Notes
Molecules in Chromatography
- In chromatography, molecules diffuse into pores of a porous medium and are separated based on their relative size to the pore size
- Larger molecules elute first, while smaller molecules elute later
Advantages of HPLC
- Provides fast and efficient separations with high resolution power
- Allows for continuous monitoring of the column effluent
- Enables separation and analysis of complex mixtures
- Offers accurate quantitative measurements
- Allows for repetitive and reproducible analysis using the same column
- Supports various separation modes, including adsorption, partition, ion exchange, and exclusion
- Is more versatile than GLC, as it can analyze non-volatile and thermally unstable solutes
- Can handle both aqueous and non-aqueous samples with minimal sample pretreatment
- Offers a wide range of solvents and column packings for high selectivity
- Enables determination of multiple components in a single analysis
Uses of HPLC
- Used in chemistry and biochemistry research for:
- Analyzing complex mixtures
- Purifying chemical compounds
- Developing processes for synthesizing chemical compounds
- Isolating natural products and predicting physical properties
- Used in quality control for:
- Ensuring the purity of raw materials
