How many types of HPLC columns are there?

How many types of HPLC columns are there?

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a type of liquid chromatography that uses a liquid moblie phase. The same basic principals from gas chromatography are applied to liquid chromatography. There are three basic types of liquid chromatographic columns: liquid-liquid, liquid-solid, and ion-exchange.

What is C8 column?

C8 column is a type of column used in the reverse-phase chromatography. Generally, the reverse-phase chromatography uses a hydrophobic stationary phase. However, the solid support stationary phase or the column contains modified silica. Here, silica is a hydrophilic stationary phase.

What compounds can be detected by HPLC?

Using the HPLC technique, 11 analytes were identified, and their specificity was confirmed: procyanidin B1, (+)-catechin, chlorogenic acid, procyanidin B2, (−)-epicatechin, rutin, hyperoside, isoquercitrin, avicularin, quercitrin, and phloridzin.

Why carbon load is necessary in HPLC column?

Carbon Load refers to the % carbon content of the silica bonded stationary phase. Generally speaking, a high carbon load (example 18-25%) results in a more hydrophobic surface. The surface is also more resistant to high pH. A high carbon load does not necessarily provide the best resolution.

Why silica is used in HPLC column?

Generally, silica gel is filled in the high-performance liquid chromatography columns because of its particle size and porosity that helps in separation of components and silica gel is also an inert material that does not react with mobile phases. The material filled in the HPLC columns is known as a stationary phase.

What is BDS column?

What is BDS Column? BDS column is a type of reverse-phase HPLC column which has blocked –OH groups. This means the hydroxyl groups in this column are deactivated/not free. It is also named as BDS C18 column, and this column is packed with octadecasilane chains. The term BDS stands for Base Deactivated Silica.

What type of chromatography is HPLC?

High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is a form of column chromatography that pumps a sample mixture or analyte in a solvent (known as the mobile phase) at high pressure through a column with chromatographic packing material (stationary phase).

What is end capping in column?

In chromatography, endcapping refers to the replacement of accessible silanol groups in a bonded stationary phase by trimethylsilyl groups. End-capped columns have much lower residual silanol group activity compared to non-endcapped columns.
