Chromatography Flashcards
Monitor the eluate as it leaves the column
Produce an electronic signal proportional to the concentration of each separated component
Detectors
Variant of column chromatography
such as alumina, silica gel, cellulose, or cross-linked dextran, is uniformly coated on a glass or plastic plate
Most commonly used as a semi-quantitative
screening test
Thin -layer chromatography
Forces the mobile phase through the column at a much greater velocit
Pump
Monitor the eluate as it leaves the column
Produce an electronic signal proportional to the concentration of each separated component
Detectors
used to scan across a present m/z
range and select an ion of interest
Q1
Detect absorbances of visible or UV light
Spectrophotometer
Used to record detector signal versus the time mobile phase passed through the instrument,
starting from the time of sample injection
Recorder
Based of fragmentation and ionazation of
molecules using a suitable source of energy
Charged particles moving through a magnetic or an electrical field can be separated from other charged particles according to their mass-to-charge (m/z) ratios
Mass spectrometry
Used for spectral comparisons and compound identification and purity and for drug analysis in urine
Photodiode array
Measures current produced when the analyte of interest is oxidized or reduced at some fixed potential set between a pair of electroded
Amperometric or electrochemical detector
Variation of L-S chromatography
Aka SIZE EXCLUSION CHROMATOGRAPHY
Separation based on size and
shape
Solid phase is packed with
porous material (beads) that
separates solutes according to
size
Steric exclusion
Uses lower temperatures for separation
achieving better separation of thermolabile compounds
Easier to recover a sample compared to GC
The mobile phase can be removed, and the sample can be processed further or reanalyzed under different conditions
Liquid chromatography
LIQUID-SOLID
CHROMATOGRAPHY
Competition between the
sample and the mobile phase
for the adsorptive sites on the
solid stationary phase
Stationary phase can be acidic
polar (e.g. silica gel), basic
polar (e.g. alumina), or non
polar (e.g. charcoal)
Absorption
Most selective type of
chromatography
Utilizes the specific interaction
between on kind of solute molecule and a second molecule that is immobilized on
a stationary phase
Antigen and antibody, enzyme
and substrate, receptor and ligand, protein and nucleic acid
Affinity
Contain wires (filaments) that change electrical resistance with change in temperature
Thermal conductivity
More sensitive than TC detector
Small hydrogen flame and collector
electrode
As the sample burns, ion form and move to charged collector
Flame ionization detector
Is a analytical technique commonly used for separating a mixture of chemical substances into its individual components, so that the individual components can be thoroughly
analyzed
Chromatography
Gas or liquid
Solvent moving through the column
Carries the sample
Mobile phase or carrier
Process of washing out a compound through a column using a suitable solvent
Elution
The time it takes for a compound or analyte to elute
Retention time or factor
Seperated components
Eluate
Mixture whose individual components have to be separated and analyzed
Analyte
Holds the stationary phase
Columns
Separating compounds based primarily on their volatility
Is useful for compound that are naturally volatile or can easily converted into a volatile form
