Estimating optimal time for fast chromatographic separations

Remotely detected NMR for the characterization of flow and fast chromatographic separations using organic polymer monoliths.

An application of remotely detected magnetic resonance imaging is demonstrated for the characterization of flow and the detection of fast, small molecule separations within hypercrosslinked polymer monoliths. The hyper-cross-linked monoliths exhibited excellent ruggedness, with a transit time relative standard deviation of less than 2.1%, even after more than 300 column volumes were pumped thro...

Chromatographic Separations with Selected Supported Chelating Agents

Chromatographic Studies of Protein-Based Chiral Separations

The development of separation methods for the analysis and resolution of chiral drugs and solutes has been an area of ongoing interest in pharmaceutical research. The use of proteins as chiral binding agents in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been an approach that has received particular attention in such work. This report provides an overview of proteins that have been used a...

Development of flexible and efficient strategies for optimizing chromatographic separations.

The intensive research in chemometrics is resulting in continuous development of new concepts and optimization methods. The practical chromatographic optimization examples described in this paper highlight the importance of developing efficient and flexible optimization strategies, which are adapted to the (complex) separation problems encountered in the real chromatographic world. The availabi...

Use of Simulated Annealing for Optimization of Chromatographic Separations

The effectiveness of a hybrid of simulated annealing (SA) and the simplex algorithm for optimization of a chromatographic separation has been examined. The method has been used to solve optimization problems for separations in batch and continuous chromatographic systems under isocratic and gradient conditions. To verify the robustness of the algorithm a variety of test problems have been solve...
