ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

10. High Performance Liquid Chromatography
• Mobile phase
– Liquid
• Stationary phase
– Small diameter particles
packed into column.
• Pressure is required to
push liquid through
column.
• Advantages
– Better resolving power
– Faster
11. High Performance Liquid Chromatography
http://academic.sun.ac.za/saf/units/aaa/images/image4_l.jpg
12. History lesson
• Early LC carried out in glass columns
– diameters: 1-5 cm
– lengths: 50-500 cm
• Size of solid stationary phase
– diameters: 150-200 µm
• Flow rates still low! Separation times long!
• Decrease particle size of packing causes increase in
column efficiency!
– diameters 3-10 µm
• This technology required sophisticated instruments
– new method called HPLC
14. What is HPLC?
• HPLC is a process of separation of mixture
containing 2 or more components under high
pressure by passing the sample through column
containing a stationary phase by means of
pressurized flow of liquid mobile phase.
15. Advantages to HPLC
• Higher resolution and speed of analysis
• HPLC columns can be reused without repacking or
regeneration
• Greater reproducibility due to close control of the
parameters affecting the efficiency of separation
• Easy automation of instrument operation and data
analysis
• Adaptability to large-scale, preparative procedures
17. Liquid-solid (adsorption) chromatography
• It involves large surface area with
less particle size.
• Separation of components of
mixture is due to affinity of the
components for surface of
stationary phase.
• High affinity compounds comes at
the end.
• Intermediate components come
in middle and low affinity
components comes first.
18. Liquid-liquid (partition) chromatography
• Separation is based on the analyte’s relative
solubility between two liquid phases.
• Normal phase & Reverse phase chromatography.
19. Ion-exchange chromatography
• Reversible exchange of counter
ion takes place between
stationary phase ion & mobile
phase ion.
• The separation was achieved
due to difference in strength of
electrostatic interaction of the
solute with the stationary phase.
• Cation exchange resins
– sulfonic acid group, carboxylic acid
group
• Anion exchange resins
– quaternary amine group, primary
amine group
20. Size Exclusion Chromatography(SEC)
• Gel permeation(GPC), gel filtration(GFC)
chromatography
• Based on separation according to the size of the
molecules, the materials used as stationary
phase contains pores of certain sizes.
• Molecules which are too large, are excluded from
the pores.
• Smaller molecules enter into the pores and
eluted later, while the larger molecule remains in
the flowing mobile phase and are eluted first.
21. • Specific pore sizes, average residence time in the
pores depends on the effective size of the analyte
molecules
– larger molecules
– smaller molecules
– intermediate size molecules
SEC(continued)
24. System controller
• Mainly designed for the control of sample introduction
function to those which intelligently communicate with
all HPLC system modules and completely, control
their operation.
• They are PC based devices with sophisticated
software for data processing in addition to provide
control function and also communicate directly with
other system, modules permitting setting up of
analysis parameter from single control panel for
storing for analytical method for future use.
25. Solvent Reservoir
• Made up of stainless steel.
• Ideal characters like
– Composition of these reservoirs should be inhert.
– Should not be reactive with solvents.
• Steel should be avoided for the use of solvent containing
Halide ion.
• If the reservoir is to be pressurized, glass should be
avoided.
• Capacity of the reservoir should be greater than 500ml.
• In many cases the aqueous solvent and some organic
solvents are degassed prior to use. These are done to
prevent formation of gas bubbles in detector.
26. Solvent Reservoir
• Types of degassing solvents:
– Sparging with less soluble gas
– Heating
– Reducing pressure by applying vaccum
– Sonication
• Advantages of degassing are:
– Stability in the baseline and enhanced sensitivity in some
types of chromatographic detectors
– Reproducible retention time for eluting peaks
– Reproducible injection volume for quantitation
– Stable pump operation
27. Tubing
• It is used to connect all parts of systems.
• Inside diameter of the tubing prior to injection device is not
critical but tubing should have ability to withstand pressure
and able to carry sufficient volume of solvents.
• Usually tubing of very small diameter (less than 0.5 mm
inner dia) are used.
28. Pumps
• The function of pumps in HPLC is to pass mobile phase
through the column at high pressure and at controlled flow
rate.
• Pumps must be constructed from material that are inhert to
mobile phase.
• Materials commonly used are glass, stainless steel, Teflon
and sapphire.
• HPLC is high pressure chromatography the pump must be
capable of generating pressure of upto 5000 psi at a flow
rate upto 3ml/min for analytical conditions.
29. Pumps
• Pumps should posses some of following characters:
a) Interior of pump should not be corroded by any of
solvent used.
b) A range of flow rates should be available and it should
be easy to change the flow rate.
c) The solvent flow should be non-pulsing.
d) It should be easy to change from one mobile phase to
another.
e) Pump should be easy to dismantle and repair.
Classification of pumps:
1. Constant pressure pumps
2. Constant flow pumps
30. Constant pressure pumps
Pneumatic amplifier pump:
Air from the cylinder at pressure upto 150 psi is applied to
gas piston that has relatively large surface area.
The gas piston is attached to hydraulic piston that has small
surface area.
One drive stroke, the outlet valve on the pump head is open
to the column and inlet valve closed to the mobile phase
reservoir.
At the end of stroke, the air in the chamber is vented and air
enters on other side of piston to start the return stroke.
On return stroke the outlet valve closes, inlet valve opens
and pump head refills with mobile phase.
32. Constant pressure pumps
The pump can be started and stopped by open of a valve
fitted between the cylinder regulator and pump.
Advantages:
Pump is very economic
Used when column need very high pressure
Disadvantages:
Difficult to disconnect and maintain (repair)
Does not provide constant flow of mobile phase
33. Constant flow rate pumps
There are 2 principle types of pumps in this category:
1. Syringe drive pump
2. Reciprocating piston pump
34. Syringe drive pump
In this pump mobile phase is
displaced from a chamber by
using variable speed stepper
motor to turn a screw which
drive a piston.
The chamber has a volume of
200 – 500 cm3
.
The pump produces pulse less
flow and requires no check
valves.
The flow must be interrupted
periodically to refill the
chamber.
36. Syringe drive pump
Advantages:
Output is pulse free
Disadvantages:
Limited solvent capacity (~20 mL) and inconvenience when
solvents need to be changed
37. Reciprocating piston pump
This pump is most widely used in modern HPLC.
There are 2 principle operations that is filling and pumping
cycles.
During filling cycles, piston is withdrawn from a syringe type
chamber and check valves are connected to this chamber.
They are fixed such that during the piston withdrawal,
solvent flow from solvent reservoir, but not into the pump
outlet.
When piston direction is reversed, check valve operates to
allow solvent to flow from the outlet valve only.
By altering the distance that piston travels we can adjust the
volume of solvent discharged from pump per unit time.
41. Reciprocating piston pump
Advantages:
Small internal volume (35-400 µL)
High output pressures (up to 10,000 psi)
Ready adaptability to gradient elution
Constant flow rates
Disadvantages:
Pulsed flow creates noise
42. Sample injection systems
HPLC involves very high pressure. introduction/injection of
sample to system presents some problems.
Injection system should have certain qualities, which are
important:
Sample should be injected in a narrow plug. In order to
achieve maximum efficient separation.
Size of the samples should be variable in order to
accommodate wide variety of samples.
The injection technique should be reproducible for
maximum accuracy in quantitative techniques
most importantly, system must be able to inject against
high pressure without sample loss.
43. Sample injection systems
Direct sample introduction via syringe is the simplest form of
injection.
Syringe must be specifically constructed to withstand
pressures upto 1000-1500 psi without leakage.
Another problem is caused by coring of the septum and
subsequent build up of septum particles on the front end of
the column.
This may cause excessive pressure in the column.
Since septum comes in direct contact with the mobile
phase, it must be constructed with inert material.
Commonly used injectors are:
Septum injectors
Loop injectors
44. Sample injection systems
The most widely used sample injection system is loop
injection valve.
The valve provides easy injection of sample against high
back pressure.
The sample loop can be any size from 10ml upto 1-2ml for
preparative scale HPLC.
45. LOAD (the sample loop)
Inject (move the sample
loop into the mobile
phase flow)
48. Stop flow injection device
• Syringe injection techniques can be used at much higher
pressure if stop flow techniques are used.
• The sample can be injected/introduced in to one chamber of
piston, while mobile phase is flowing.
• The piston is moved rapidly to align the sample chamber
with flowing mobile phase in order to introduce the sample
to column.
• This may lead to disturbance in solvent flow, which may
sometime cause baseline disturbance.

54. Column & Packing
• Column forms the heart of any HPLC system.
• The quality of its packing materials are essential for good
separation and minimum dispersion.
• The stainless steel column of internal diameter 4.0 to 4.6
mm and length 10-30cm are used.
Types of columns:
1. Analytical columns
2. Preparative columns
3. Microbore columns
55. Guard column
Since HPLC columns are expensive devices, these guard
columns are used to increase the lifetime of HPLC column.
The guard column is placed between the injector &
analytical column.
This can be packed with material similar to main column or
with pellicular material (coated porous glass beads) of the
same type.
Guard column acts like a filter and absorb impurities which
are either combined in sample or in the elute or formed by
contact of sample with packing. Thereby protect the HPLC
column.
56. Analytical columns
• These are employed to obtain qualitative or quantitative
information about the sample.
• This involves conventional liquid chromatography where
very less amount of solute is used that is upto 10mg.
• They are packed with the stationary phase with the particle
size of 3 – 20 µ.
• Small volume of injection that is <10ml usually 50 – 150 µl.
• Internal diameter <8mm.
• Pore size will be <300 A0
.
• The column load should be between 10-10
to 10-3
gm of
sample/gm of packing.
• These have good column efficiency & more separation
power.
57. Preparative columns
• This is improved/modified analytical column.
• It is used to isolate or purify the sample quantities in the
range of 10 – 1000mg from complex mixture.
• There are of 3 types based on sample size employed:
– Micropreparative/Semipreparative: To purify the sample
of about <100mg. The column tend to be slightly larger
version of analytical column use the same packing.
– Preparative: Sample size is 0.1 to 100 gms the column
are 2-5cm in diameter and 25cm length, packing of 15-
100 µm.
– Macro preparative: Sample size is >0.1kg, the columns
are 20 – 30cm and inner diameter of 60cm with long flow
rates upto 1000ml/minute.
58. Preparative columns (cont.)
• All the preparative columns are having internal diameter of
>8mm.
• The packing is economical as it involves larger particles (20-
100µ) column load is about 0.001 to 0.1 gm of sample/gm of
packing load capacity.
• Packing load capacity is defined as maximum amount of
sample that can be applied without impairing the separation
efficiency.
59. Micro bore columns/small bore
columns
• The size is too small & used for high performance.
• Diameter 0.5 – 2 mm.
• More advantage because of
– its high speed due to narrow/small diameter.
– Less solvent consumption, better performance and
economic.
– Small peak width.
– Sensitivity is more, which allows to detect smaller
quantities of material.
The problem is the system should have low dispersion.
Volume of solute injected causes some dispersion,
therefore volume should be <1µl.
60. Column packing methods
Dry packing method:
Used for packing with particle size of >20mm.
The dry packing is filled into vertically clamped column in
small amounts and helped to deposit by vibration or tapping.
Wet or slurry packing method:
Used for packing with particle size of <20mm.
Small particles with dia 3,5,7 and 10mm can only be placed.
They are first made into suspension.
This should not sediment.
Stable suspension can be prepared by:
By using ultrasonic treatment
Balanced density
61. Packings for HPLC
• Particles of 3–10µm diameter are preferred for packing.
• Generally used ones are:
– Silica Gel: Spherical totally porous ‘NUCLEOSIL’.
– Silica Gel: Irregularly shaped, totally porous
‘POLYGLSIL’
– VYDAC packing: Eg. vydac guard columns – glass beads
with porous silica gel surface.
– Aluminium oxide: Irregularly shaped, totally porous
‘ALOX’.
– Cellulose acetylated, irregularly shaped.
– Polyamide, irregularly shaped particles.

64. MOBILE PHASE IN HPLC
Polarity is a term that is used in chromatography as an index of
ability of compounds to interact with one another, in these
various ways.
The eluents are arranged according to polarity ,the strong ones
being polar and weak ones nonpolar.
The series of weak, medium and strong solvents thus derived
is referred to as the Eluotropic series.

where “like dissolves like”:
•Polar compounds are attracted to other Polar
compounds
•Non-polar compounds are attracted to other Non-polar
compounds
•Polar compounds are not attracted to Non-polar
compounds
Polarity - Compound Behavior
70. Isocratic elution
• Isocratic elution has a constant mobile phase composition
– Can often use one pump!
– Mix solvents together ahead of time!
– Simpler, no mixing chamber required
– Limited flexibility, not used much in research
• mostly process chemistry or routine analysis.
71. Gradient Elution
• Gradient elution has a varying mobile phase composition
– Uses multiple pumps whose output is mixed together
• often 2-4 pumps (binary to quarternary systems)
– Changing mobile phase components changes the polarity
index
• can be used to subsequently elute compounds that
were previously (intentionally) “stuck” on the column
• Some additional wear on the stationary phase
• Column has to re-equiluibrate to original conditions
after each run (takes additional time).
72.
73. Detectors
• HPLC detectors can be classified as:
– Solute property detectors -respond to physical or
chemical properties of the solute that is generally not
exhibited by the mobile phase.
– Bulk property detectors -respond to an overall change
in the physical property of mobile phase with and
without solute.
There is no single detector that can be employed for allThere is no single detector that can be employed for all

77. Refractive Index Detectors
• First HPLC detector developed
• Typically referred to as Universal detectors.
– Detects all dissolved solutes- “non-specific”
• RI response depends on the difference in RI between
mobile phase and solute(s).
• Sensitivity reaches maximum when RI differences are
greatest.
∀µg sensitivity but only for isocratic runs
• Commonly used for: Sugars, Polymers and Fatty
Acids

Solvents

79. Deflection Refractometer
It measures the deflection of a beam of monochromatic light
by a double prism in which the reference and sample cells
are separated by a diagonal glass divide.
When both cells contain solvent of same composition, no
deflection of light beam occurs.
If the composition of the column mobile phase is changed
because of the presence of a solute, then the altered RI
causes the beam to be deflected.
The magnitude of this deflection is dependent on solute
concentration in the mobile phase.
84. Reflection (Fresnel) Refractometer
• This type of detector is based on the measurement of
change in the fractions of reflected and transmitted light at a
glass liquid interface as a result of change in the refractive
index of the liquid.
• In the optical path two collimated beams from the projector
illuminate the reference and sample cells.
• The cells are made with a Teflon gasket, which is clamped
between the cell prism and a stainless steel reflecting back
plate.
85. Reflection (Fresnel) Refractometer
• As the light beam is transmitted through the cell interfaces, it
passes through the flowing liquid and impinges on the
surface of reflecting back plate. This diffuse reflected light
appears as two spots of light that are imaged by lens onto
dual photo detectors.
• As the ratio of reflected light to transmitted light is function of
refractive index of two liquids, the illumination of the cell back
plate is direct measure of the refractive index of the liquid in
each chamber.
88. Refractive Index Detectors
• Advantages
– universal respond to nearly all solutes
– reliable
– unaffected by flow rate
– low sensitive to dirt and air bubbles in the flow cell
• Disadvantages
– expensive
– highly temperature sensitive
– moderate sensitivity
– cannot be used with gradient elution
89. In this detectors the measurement of the resistance of an ionic
solution, using an alternative voltage to eliminate spurious effects
(because of electrode polarization) can be used as a detection
principle for ionic species.
One of the most important advantages of such a detector is the
very small dead volume.
When used with buffer solutions detection limit is very small,
being in the low ppm range.
with non-ionic mobile phases of low electrical conductivity the
detection limit can be decreased by several orders of magnitude.
Conductivity detectors
90. The primary usefulness of the conductometric detector is for
small anions or cations such as inorganic ions (e.g. , Clo4
-
,No3
-
,
Po4
3-
, Na+
, NH4
+
,etc) or small organic anions ( e.g., acetate ,
oxalate,citrate,etc) or cations (e.g., di- , tri- and tetra-alkyl
ammonium ions).
The combination of the electrical conductivity detector with
ion exchange chromatographic columns has led to the technique ,
known as ion chromatography.
In spite of the excellent selectivity of ion exchange resins, the
analysis of non-UV absorbing ions has been hampered essentially
due to the lack of suitable universal detector.
91. Inorder to suppress the overwhelming conductivity of the
anion exchange suppressor column for cation separation and a
cation exchange suppressor column, for cell.
In this way, the eluent is neutralised and the conductivity of
the elute ions can be conveniently measured.
The suppressor column increases the analysis time and the
band broadening and may give some undesired effects such as
ion exclusion, reaction with some ions etc.
94. UV Detectors
• UV absorption detectors respond to those substances that
absorb light in the range 180 to 350 nm.
• Most frequently used detector in HPLC analysis.
• Compounds must contain a UV absorbing chromophore.
• Must work in the linear range of Beer’s Law.
95. Fixed wavelength UV detector
• The fixed wavelength UV detector uses light of a single
wavelength (or nearly so) which is produced by a specific
type of discharge lamp.
• The most popular lamp is the low pressure mercury vapor
lamp, which generates most of its light at a wavelength of
254 nm.
• Other lamps that could be used are the low-pressure
cadmium lamp which generates the majority of its light at
225 nm and the low pressure zinc lamp that emits largely at
214 nm.
96. Fixed wavelength UV detector (cont..)
• Light from the UV source is collimated by a suitable lens and
passed through both the sample cell and the reference cell
and then on to two photo cell.
• The cells are cylindrical with quartz windows at either end.
The reference cell compensates for any absorption that
mobile phase might have at the sensing wavelength.
• The outputs from the two photo cells are passed to a signal
modifying amplifier so that output is linearly related to the
concentration of solute being detected.
98. Variable wavelength UV detector
• Light from a deuterium lamp is focused a two curved mirrors
onto a diffraction grating and the selected wavelength is
reflected back onto the second curved mirror.
• The light then passes to a third curved mirror and is focused
by a plane mirror and a quartz lens through the absorption
cell.
• After leaving the absorption cell, the transmitter light is
focused by a second quartz lens onto the photocell.
• Rotating the grating allows the wavelength of the light
passing through the cell to be selected to provide the
maximum sensitivity.
99. Variable wavelength UV detector (cont..)
• Light of the selected wavelength is then focused by means of
a lens through the flow cell and, consequently, through the
column eluent.
• The exit beam from the cell is then focused by another lens
onto a photo cell which gives a response that is some
function of the intensity of the transmitted light.
• The detector is usually fitted with a scanning facility that
allows the spectrum of the solute contained in the cell to be
obtained.
102. Diode array detector
• Light from the broad emission source is collimated by an
achromatic lens system so that the total light passes through
the detector cell onto a holographic grating.
• In this way the sample is subjected to light of all wavelengths
generated by the lamp.
• The dispersed light from the grating is allowed to fall onto a
diode array. The array may contain many hundreds of
diodes and the output from each diode is regularly sampled
by a computer and stored on a hard disc.
103. Diode array detector (cont..)
• At the end of the run, the output from any diode can be
selected and a chromatogram produced using the UV
wavelength that was falling on that particular diode.
• The more common tool for research-grade HPLC
instruments.
• Quite versatile.
• DAD scans a range of wavelengths every second or few
seconds. At each point in the chromatogram one gets a
complete UV-VIS spectrum.

106. UV Detector
• Advantages
– high sensitivity
– small sample volume required
– linearity over wide concentration ranges
– can be used with gradient elution
• Disadvantage
– does not work with compounds that do not absorb
light at this wavelength region
107. Fluorescence Detector
• Increased Selectivity and Sensitivity
• Analytes not only absorbs UV/Vis radiation but also
releases the energy in the form of light of longer
wavelength.
• This property is typically associated with non-ionic
molecules which are strongly conjugated and have rigid
structures.
• Sensitivity is in the pg region (up to 1000x UV)
• Detector is sensitive to the presence of dissolved gasses
and other “quenchers”
108. Fluorescence Detector
• Incident light reaches the cell through a hole in the centre of
the mirror and one half of all emitted light can be collected.
• Light sources are usually xenon discharge lamp, sometimes
augmented by mercury, although deuterium discharge lamps
are sometimes used.
• The excitation light is normally provided by a low pressure
mercury lamp which is comparatively inexpensive and
provides relatively high intensity UV light at 253.7 nm. Many
substances that fluoresce will be excited by light of this
wavelength.
• The excitation light is focused by a quartz lens through the
cell. A second lens, set normal to the incident light, focuses
the fluorescent light onto a photo cell.
110. Fluorescence Detector
• Advantages
– extremely high sensitivity
– high selectivity
• Disadvantage
– may not yield linear response over wide range of
concentrations
113. INTRODUCTION
DERIVATISATION:
Derivatisation is a technique of treatment of the
sample to improve the process of separation by the
column or detection by the detector.
HPLC derivatization plays an important role in the
determination of many pharmaceutical compounds
(aminoacids, antibiotics) in agrochemistry (proteins,
peptides, toxins) and in the environmental pollutants.
114. Reasons for Derivatisation
Improve peak shape
Suitable volatility
Better sensitivity & detectability
Increased thermostability
Important for trace analyses of complex biological
samples
115. DERIVATISATION IN HPLC
The primary purpose for derivatisation in HPLC becomes
that of introducing substituents to increase sensitivity &
selectivity for detection.
Derivatisation is mostly done in HPLC for the analytes
(aminoacids) which exist as charged ions in solution [anions,
cations or zwitter ions]
The original complete seperation of complex mixtures of
these analytes require very lengthy runs on ion-exchange
resin columns.
116. By treating these analytes (aminoacids) with
orthophthalaldehyde produces isoindole derivatives whose
polarity is compatible with RP-C 18 columns leading to
much more rapid separations.
Additionally, these derivatives also display intense
fluorescence at 425nm, which greatly improves the
detection limits when monitoring with a fluorescence
detector.
117. These derivatisation techniques are of two types based upon
the need:
1 Pre-column derivatisation
2 Post-column derivatisation
1 Pre-column derivatisation:
This is done to improve some properties of the sample for
separation of compounds by the column.
2 Post-column derivatisation:
This is done to improve responses shown by the detector
118. PRE-COLUMN DERIVATISATION
The derivatisation can be carried out in solution as a
last step in sample preparation.
Because it allows for whatever temperature & reaction
time may be necessary to form the derivative.
119. Examples for pre-column derivatisation
1 Benzoylation of Hydroxysteroids
2 Esterification of Fatty acids
3 Introduction of Flourophores into Aminoacids, Biogenic
amines & alkaloids by treatment with Dansyl chloride (5-
dimethyl aminonapthalene-1-sulphonyl chloride)
4 Epimeric forms of some Vit D3 metabolites have been
resolved as their trimethylsilyl derivatives
121. POST-COLUMN DERIVATISATION
Post-column Derivatization is carried out on the separated
solutes as they emerge from the chromatographic column.
Consequently, very fast reactions must be used & the
reagents & mobile phase used must be compatible.
122. PROCEDURE FOR POSTCOLUMN
DERIVATISATION
In this the labeling agent is added to the column effluent
by constant rate in fusion from a separate pump, passes
through a mixing chamber or coil, possibly at elevated
temperature, for a precisely regulated & reproducible
interval & then passes into the detector cell.
The purpose of this mode is only to convert the analyte to a
better detected form.
The post-column reaction needs to be fast, as too long a
mixing chamber could lead to extra column band
broadening.

124. When properly implemented, post-column derivatization
is actually more reproducible in its yield & quantitation
than the pre-column mode.
Both pre-column or post-column reactions may be
employed to produce electro active compounds
analogues for the formation of fluorescent derivatives.
125. Reagents for post-column derivatization

3-mercaptopropionic acid
Carbamate pesticides o-phthaldialdehyde, 2-

Phenothiazines Peroxyacetic acid
Vitamin C & its derivatives Benzamidine
126. Examples of post column derivatisation reactions for
use with UV detectors include
Reaction of aminoacids with Ninhydrin and flourescamine.
Reaction of fatty acids with o-nitrophenol.
Reaction of ketones with 2,4-DNP.
Acid/phenol treatment of carbohydrates.

-Early LC carried out in glass columns
-to assure reasonable flow rates, diameters…
-BUT were still low (a few tenths of a mL/min)
separation times long, taking several hours
-attempts to speed up the classic procedure by application of vacuum or by pumping were not effective, because increases in flow rates acted to increase plate heights beyond the minimum
-early on, scientists realized that major increases in column efficiency could be brought about by decreasing the particle size of packings
-1960s particle sizes 3-10 m----required sophisticated instruments
1. HPLC like classical chromatography uses liquid as the mobile phase to separate components of a mixture
2. HPLC is the most widely used of all of the analytical separation techniques, with annual sales of HPLC equipment approaching the billion dollar mark
3. The reasons for the popularity of this method are:
Size exclusion chromatography allows molecules to be separated by their ability to permeate a sieve-like structured stationary phase that is commonly made up of a cross-linked polymeric material or gel.
gel w/ exclusion limit of several thousand can cleanly separate proteins from a.a & low molecular weight peptides.
No chemical or physical interaction between analytes and the stationary phase, and such interactions are avoided due to impaired column efficiencies
determination of the molecular weight--
Here the elution volumes of the sample are compared with elution volumes for a series of standard compounds that possess the same chemical characteristics
RI Advantages
RI detectors have the advantage of responding to nearly all solutes. In fact, RI index is the most universal detector for HPLC that we are going to discuss here.
EI detectors are reliable, and they are unaffected by flow rate, because the measurement is purely obtained from the displacement of the beam.
EI detectors are not sensitive to dirt and air bubbles which may be present in the sample.
UV Advantages
Absorbance provides high sensitivity
For absorbance testing, only a small sample volume is required
This analysis behaves lineraly over a wide concentration ranges, which is one of the desirable properties of an ideal detector
It can be used with gradient elution to shorten run-time!
Fluorescence Advantages
Extremely high sensitivity….better than UV/Visible in orders of magnitude
Highly selective, only works with compounds that have fluorescence capabilities.
Fluorescence Disadvantage
Over a wide range of concentration, it may not yield linear response, which is one of the undesirable properties of an ideal detector.
