Basic principal of chromatography
Concept of chromatography
Chromatography is an analytical method in which compound are physically
separated prior to measurement.
The main purpose of chromatography is to separate and quantify the target
sample in the matrix.

History of chromatography
Why use HPLC?
High resolution
High sensitivity
Good repeatability
Small sample size
Easy to fractionate the sample and purify
Non destructive
Scope of HPLC
Flow Diagram of HPLC
Chromatogram
Separation mechanism
Compound are separated because the molecules move at
different rates in the column.
Due to different interaction between stationary phase and
different sample , the molecules move at different rate, therefore
separation can be done.
Separation modes
Normal phase chromatography
Reversed phase chromatography
Ion chromatography
Size exclusion chromatography
Normal Phase chromatography
First developer used
- CaCO3 as separation column
- Petroleum ether as solvent
Stationary phase: Polar property
Mobil phase: Non-polar property
This combination is defined as Normal phase
chromatography
Normal Phase chromatography
Mobil phase: Non-polar
Organic solvent:
Hexane,
Benzene,
Methylene chloride,
Chloroform,
Diethyl ether etc.
Stationary phase:
Reversed Phase chromatography
Stationary phase: Non-polar property
Mobil phase: Polar property
This combination is defined as reversed
phase chromatography
Staionary phase
C18 (ODS) type
C8 (octyl) type
C4 (butyl) type
Cyno type
TMS type
Mobile phase
Water/buffer + Organic solvent
Organic solvent:
Methanol
Acetonitrile etc.
Buffer:
Phosphate buffer
Acetate buffer etc.
Reversed phase chromatography
What is the interaction
Hydrophobicity
Retention Time and Hydrophobicity
Increase of solvent polarity
Effect of stationary phase
Peaks:

4. n- Butyl benzoate
Effect of Stationary phase
Reversed phase Ion-Pair Chromatogr
Ion-Pair Reagent
Anion compounds
-Tetra-n-butylammonium hydroxide (TBA)
Cation compounds
-Butanesulfonic acid sodium salt (C4)
-Pentaesulfonic acid sodium salt (C5)
-Hexanesulfonic acid sodium salt (C6)
-Heptanesulfonic acid sodium salt (C7)
-Octanesulfonic acid sodium salt (C8)
-Decanesulfonic acid sodium salt (C10)
Reversed Phase Ion Pair
Reversed Phase Ion Pair
Advantage:
Share several features with reversed phase HPLC- column and
mobile phase.
By selecting ion pair reagent, concentration or pH, selectivity can
be improved.
Ion and natural compound can usually be done in the same run.
Disadvantage:
Equilibration time is long.
Dedicated columns are often recommended.
Beware of ion pair reagent precipitation in organic solvent eg.
Methanol, acetonitrile, etc.
