During the past five years, many manufacturers of HPLC columns have focused on improving stationary phase stability and reproducibility. In this study, the authors use a variety of test solutes to compare the efficiency, selectivity, and hydrophobic retention mechanisms of five commercially available HPLC columns based silica, alumina, zirconia, and polystyrene cross-linked with divinylbenzene as the support.
In Chinese herbal medicine (CHM), traditionally, Hedyotis diffusa and Scutellaria barbata are cooked together and given to patients as tea. It is hypothesized that the interaction of metabolites from both herbs during cooking, improves the medical effect. This hypothesis was tested by preparing two tea variants which were then analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to ion-mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS).
This article will discuss the benefits of 2D-LC and multiple application areas in (bio)pharmaceutical analysis, and will highlight the challenges and future outlook.
This paper proposes a new method of flash qualitative identification (FQI) to qualitatively identify a certain target component from a mixture within half a second by disusing the analytical column, which is a time-consuming unit in current chromatography instruments. First, a Noised Spectrum Identification (NSI) model was constructed for the data set generated directly by diode array detector (DAD) without the process in an analytical column. Then, a method called vector error algorithm (VEA) was proposed to generate an error according to the DAD data set for a mixture and a specific spectrum for the target component to be identified. A criterion based on the error generated by the VEA is used to give a judgement of whether the specific spectrum exists in the DAD data set. Several simulations demonstrate the high performance of the FQI method, and an experiment for three known materials was carried out to validate the effectiveness of this method. The results show that the NSI model concurs with the real experiment result; therefore, the error generated by the VEA was an effective criterion to identify a specific component qualitatively, and the FQI method could finish the identification task within half a second.
