History Of Liquid Chromatography

890 Words4 Pages

Liquid chromatography is first being discovered by a Russian botanist, Mikhail Tsvet. Tsvet had rose the idea of liquid chromatography when he tried to purify and separate the coloured plant pigments by using a liquid-adsorption column containing calcium carbonate in 1890s. He also applied his observations with filter paper extraction to the new techniques for analysis the components in the petroleum. The filter paper extraction is the precursor of paper chromatography. He also found that the polarities of the solvents were important when during the separation to ensure that the solutes which were non-polar and polar can be separated efficiently.

But it was formerly known as High Pressure Liquid Chromatography. HPLC is an instrumental system to perform the technique of analytic chemistry to separate the chemical or biological compounds which are non-volatile and thermally-unstable such as pharmaceutical products, organic compounds, food and beverages, natural products and others.

HPLC can be used in many fields. As examples, HPLC can be used in medical field to detect the concentration of antibiotics or vitamins levels in blood serum. HPLC also make its contribution to pharmaceutical manufacturer. Pharmaceutical manufacturer used the technique of separation by using HPLC to control the quality and dosage of drugs. HPLC also used in legal usage. The concentration of drugs in urine can be analysed by using HPLC to found out the drug abuser. HPLC also helps in the environmental application. HPLC is used for detecting the concentration of pesticides in the soil and also monitoring the particles in air and water pollutants which may threaten the living …show more content…

But due to the rate of separation by using liquid chromatography is slow and not much of efficiency since it was largely diffusion-controlled. HPLC was introduced by creating a condition under a high pressure of 400 atm. So HPLC can be also explained as it was improved from liquid chromatography. The solvent is allowed to be trickled via HPLC column with the help of gravitational force. The mobile phase and stationary phase in the HPLC will involve in the mechanism. The stationary phase in HPLC normally will be the silica gel. The silica gel will help to separate the components in the liquid sample as its particle size, surface properties and pore structure will lead to good separation results of solvent by minimize the length of diffusion path. The silica gel is also inert to most solvent so it can separate various type of chemical compound with high reproducibility. During the separation, the component in sample will interact with the adsorbent material within the pores of the stationary phase. This will cause the different flow rates for the different components and leading to the separation of the components as they released from the column. The HPLC is worked basically on the high pressure pump. The separation of HPLC can be based on the polarity, electrical charges and the molecular size. But it is more highly based on the polarity of the compound. The molecules which have the

    Introduction The isolation of an active ingredient in analgesic drugs is an important technique to determine a drug’s composition. This technique can be exercised through column chromatography, a method used to purify a specific compound in a mixture. In column chromatography, alumina is typically used to separate less polar compounds by acting as a purifying agent. Most analgesic drugs work as pain relievers and generally fall into four categories.

    After that, we applied the TLC Plate method to monitor the reaction progress. TLC is a simple and inexpensive way to show the number of the components in the tested mixture. These all involve using solvent with a specific polarity, a jar with soaked paper, and a high polarity silica plate. If our compound is highly polar, it will stick to the silica plate and will not move up on it.

    Drug testing has become a mandatory task in nearly every workplace, no employer would like to employ personnel with unacceptable habits of drug addiction. Employee drug testing is not about catching employees using drugs, it’s about preventing the use of drugs at the work place in order to maintain a healthy environment. Drug testing is a moral obligation and responsibility to keep the workplace safe for all the employees, customers and other related personnel. Common reasons employers implement drug testing is to- • Deter employees from abusing alcohol and drugs • Prevent hiring individuals who use illegal drugs • Be able to identify early and appropriately refer employees who have drug and/or alcohol problems • Provide a safe workplace

    TLC was used to identify the actual unknown product as well as other products/reactants present in the filtered solution. The procedure was conducted by placing a TLC plate in a developing chamber that is filled with a small amount of solvent. The solvent cannot be too polar because it will cause spotted compounds on the TLC plate to rise up too fast, while a very non-polar solvent will not allow the spots to move. The polarity of the spots also determines how far it moves on the plate; non-polar spots are higher than polar ones. After spots on the TLC form, the Rf values are calculated and used to analyze the similarity of the compounds.

    IONIC EXCHANGE CHROMATOGRAPHY This is a form of affinity chromatography that allows for the separation of product and contaminants through the use of specific electrical charges produced by the individual molecules. Resins are applied to depending on the compound one wishes to remove ie if your compound is negatively or positively charged. This system is specifically used after one of the three previously stated methods of separation and an ultrafiltration/diafiltrtion step as it is costly and therefore is not viable for use with large volumes of compound. It is mainly used for the removal of any remaining components from the media and including cell fragments, chemical agents and lipid components. (Duong et al 2014) Ionic exchange resin use

The effect of organic modifier: The percentage of organic modifier (methanol) has a critical effect on separation of pregabalin and atenolol. It was found that increasing the proportion of methanol than 10% led to interference between pregabalin peak and urine matrix and inadequate resolution between atenolol and pregabalin.

Further they also reported the distribution coefficient and separation factors. When the two phase region was considered, n hexane and Cyclohexane proved to be suitable agents for establishment of equilibrium data of propionic acid-water-solvent mix. On the other hand, when distribution coefficient values were considered it was shown that Cyclohexyl acetate is most suitable. In conclusion, when all the properties were taken into consideration it could be concluded that cyclohexyl acetate is the most suitable extracting agent that was studied is this research.

    In thin layer chromatography, the example is separated in the flexible stage dissolvable. The ensuing course of action is then spotted near the base of the rectangular sheet of glass or plastic secured with silica. The sheet is then submerged in a chamber containing a little measure of dissolvable, keeping the spots over the surface of the dissolvable. Once the sheet is set in the chamber, the dissolvable begins to increase on the sheet through thin movement. The covering on the sheet is the staionary stage and the dissolvable is the compact stage, since it climbs the sheet.
