- Launching an HPLC Column to Analyze Anions, Compatible with Hydroxide Eluents
A good extraction solvent will contain all of the eluents in the chromatography process so that any reactions of the sample resulting in precipitates will occur prior to injection into the HPLC.
The influence of organic modifier concentration, addition of salts, and pH of eluents on chromatographic parameters such as retention, resolution, chromatographic plate numbers, and peak asymmetry was investigated.
Unfortunately, eluents at pH value above 8 are not totally compatible with classic C18 or polymeric columns employed in chromatographic separations.
Thus, desorption studies were carried out using three different eluents (neutral water, 0.1 M HCl and 0.1 M CH 3 COOH).
The eluents used for the purification process were MeOH : [H.sub.2]O (50 : 50 v/v), CH[Cl.sub.3]: MeOH : [H.sub.2]O (22.5: 55 : 22.5 v/v), and CH[Cl.sub.3]: MeOH :[H.sub.2]O(70 : 26: 4 v/v).
