• Many commercial instruments now perform both supercritical fluid chromatography and ultra high-performance/pressure liquid chromatography (uHPLC).

• This provides two orthogonal techniques and higher component selectivity.

• With operating pressures up to 600 bar (9000 psi) capability small particle HPLC and SFC can be used.

• Using gaseous CO2 as the mobile phase makes interfacing with mass spectrometers relatively straight forward.

DevelopmentQuan)ta)onData from chromatograms may be used to obtain the relative or absolute concentration of components in amixture, providing good resolution is achieved. The Peak area, from integration of the detector signal duringelution of a component, is proportional to the amount of that component in the sample. However, the responseof a detector varies from one compound to another; for example, the HPLC ultraviolet detector depends onabsorption of electromagnetic radiation, the spectra of the components and the detection wavelength used.

There are four principal methods for obtaining quantitative information:

1. Normalising peak areas2. Internal standards3. External standards4. Standard addition methods.

1. Normalising peak areas is simply the area of an individual peak calculated as a percentage of the total areasrecorded for all peaks in the chromatogram.

Slide 42


DevelopmentQuan)ta)on2. The internal standard method is a variation on the above, and is recommended for accurate quantitative work.

It eliminates the need for accurate injections since a reference standard is included in each sample analysed.An internal standard is selected which has a retention time such that it is eluted in a suitable 'gap' in thechromatogram.

The procedure involves analysing a test mixture sample containing known amounts of each component plus apredetermined amount of the internal standard (I.S.) to calculate the Response factor RF.

RF=((Ax)(Cis))/((Ais)(Cx))

Where:Ax=AreaofthecompoundofinterestCx=Concentra)onofthecompoundAis=AreaoftheinternalstandardCis=Concentra)onoftheinternalstandard

Oncetheresponsefactorisknown,analysisofanunknownmixtureisachievedbyaddinganaccuratelyknownamountofinternalstandardandthencarryingoutthechromatography.The concentration of each component iscalculated using the equation above, rearranged to give

Cx=(Ax/AIS)x(CIS/RF)

Slide 43


Development

3. External Standard Method

Automated sample injection systems and multiport injection valves(HPLC) have good reproducibility so that a series of injections can bemade with a variation in sample volume of < 1 %. A set of standardmixtures containing known concentrations of the analytes is analysedand their peak areas recorded. A calibration graph of area versusconcentration can be drawn for each analyte to confirm a linear detectorresponse and from which the amount of the analyte in a mixture can bedetermined
