Sample Preparation Challenges

Sample preparation:– Often overlooked

– Least developed

– Most time-intensive

– Most error-prone

Sample Preparation

Classical Extraction Methods

Soxhlet Extraction

Distillation

Evaporation

Limited selectivity

Thermal degradation of heat-labile compounds

Oxidative degradation of highly unsaturated compounds

Organic toxic solvents– Residual solvents

– Government regulations on the use of organic solvent such as hexane

SFE Applications

SFE Outline

What is a Supercritical Fluid?

304.1 K

Supercritical fluid has High Diffusivity, Low Viscosity and Low Surface Tension!

Advantages of SFE

Low temperature extraction conditions– Minimal degradation of thermo-labile molecules

Highly selective

Solvent power can be varied by control of pressure and temperature

Low viscosity aids rapid extraction

Negligible surface tension

Utilization of non-toxic solvent– No toxic residue

Isolation of extracted analytes from extraction medium is readily accomplished by pressure reduction

MV-10 ASFE System Components

Up to 6 Co-SolventsAvailable

Column Oven -up to 10 Extraction Vessels

BackpressureRegulator(BPR)

Heat Exchanger

Fraction Collection Module-up to 12 collection bottles(5, 10 or 25 mL)

Extraction Modes

Dynamic – (e.g. coffee maker) continuous supply of fresh fluid passes over/through the matrix/analyte– Fluid contamination builds up at the trap

– Volatiles may be blown from the trap

Static – (e.g. tea cup) fixed amount of fluid is exposed to the matrix/analyte – mixing by diffusion/re-circulation– Extraction may not be exhaustive

Static / Dynamic Combination (Most Popular)– Pressurize analyte/matrix with fresh fluid for period of time followed

by continuous flow of fresh fluid over analyte/matrix.

SFE Applications

SFE Outline

SFE Step– 90 –150 bar, max 45 °C

– Remove pesticides & heavy metals

– Separate <C18 from >C18 (mainly saturated and mono-unsaturated FA)

– Remove cholesterol

SFC Step– 90 –150 bar, max 45 °C

– Selectivity according to C-chain length AND to number of double bonds

– Highly purified concentrates up to over 99% per individual FA

Omega-3 FA are handled under CO2

atmosphere at temperatures below 45 C. – No thermal stress

– No oxidation

Example 1: Omega-3 From Marine Origines

SaturatedMonounsaturatedOmega-6

Fish Oil

ConcentratedOmega-3

Commercial process - Patented

Stevioside isolated from Stevia rebaudiana has been proposed as a promising sweetener because of its low calorie content and relatively low toxicity– Stevioside and rebaudioside A have about 300 times the relative

sweetness intensity of 0.4% (w/v) sucrose

2 major diterpene glycosides– stevioside (5–18%)

– rebaudioside A (2–4%)

Example 2: Stevia Extraction

Conventional extraction methods for stevioside involve – aqueous or alcohol extraction

– precipitation and coagulation with filtration

– clean-up step

– crystallization and drying

Stevioside Extraction

Example 3: SFE Increases Specificity

Using Super Critical Fluid as an extraction solvent provides a mechanism to increase specificity– By varying the extraction conditions, we can reduce the amount of

unwanted interference compoundso Less compound interference, more column loading capacity

Summary

SFE provides an appealing sample preparation technique which:– Improves extraction efficiency and reduces extraction time vs. other

sample preparation techniques

– Reduces costly and hazardous solvent consumption

– Is environmentally compatible

– Does not require pre-concentration prior to analysis

– Automated

– Can selectively extract specific fractions of a complex sample

– Operates at lower temperatures than PFE, MAE and soxhlet

– Wider selectivity range with use of co-solvents

SFE simplified for the end user: MV10-ASFE

UltraPerformance Convergence Chromatography (UPC2)TM

Convergence Chromatography is a category of separation science that provides orthogonal and increased separation power, compared to liquid or gas chromatography, to solve separation challenges.

UltraPerformance Convergence Chromatography [UPC2]TM is a holistically designed chromatographic system that utilizes liquid CO2 as a

mobile phase with one or more co-solvents to leverage the chromatographic principles and selectivity of normal phase chromatography.

The ACQUITY UPC2 System is built utilizing proven UPLC Technology to enable scientists to address routine and complex separation challenges while delivering reliability, robustness, sensitivity and throughput.

Accepted in the scientific community as:

UHPSFC: UltraHigh Performance Supercritical Fluid Chromatography

SFC: Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (NOT Science Fiction Chromatography)

What Does Supercritical Fluid Mean To The Chromatographer?

Lower viscosity means higher optimal flow rates

– About 4 times higher than LC

Higher flow rates means

– Faster equilibration times

– Faster transit time on column

– Lower operating pressures allows for the ability to work with multiple columns in series

Adjusting pressure adjusts solvating strength

– In LC, we adjust solvent composition and temperature

– In SFC pressure adjustment provides an additional variable to work with
