Common Peak Shape Distortions in HPLC and their Prevention

Common Peak Shape Distortions in HPLC and their Prevention

A chromatographer always looks forward to getting perfect shaped peaks for each and every analysis but in reality peaks get distorted due to numerous reasons. Distortions are frustrating but if proper corrective steps are taken peak shape distortions can be avoided.

Flat Top Peak

A flat top peak response arises when the detector gets overloaded with the sample. In such case detector sensitivity is much higher and it gets saturated to give a broad flat top peak. One option is to attenuate the signal response (not a practical solution) as detection of other peaks will also get affected. A more viable option is to reduce the concentration of sample or volume of injection.

峰尾巴是由于表面硅烷酚基团的电离为 - Si-O - 提供阳离子交换位点而引起的常见失真。该解决方案在于使用高纯度级二氧化硅支持以及推荐的pH范围2-8的选择。

使用缓冲液控制添加剂还限制了硅胶表面上的硅烷基团的电离。添加剂,例如三氟乙酸(TFA),离子配对剂有助于抑制电离。浓度范围10-25 mm的缓冲添加剂对于大多数应用就足够了。

通过过滤流动相位溶剂,使用进口过滤器和泵密封剂在开始磨损和释放垃圾颗粒之前,可以通过过滤流动相位溶剂,使用进口过滤器和更换泵的碎片来防止板条阻塞或空隙形成。

Low purity silica often contains metal impurities which promote ionization of silanol groups. Use of high purity silica stationary phase helps in tailing due to chelation with metal ion in stationary phase.

Fronting Peak
Fronting Peak

与峰尾巴相比,峰面前不太常见

Generally peak fronting as a result of channeling inside the column. It is best to replace the column or otherwise operate within the recommended pH limits.

列过载也可能导致峰值前进。使用稀释样品或减少样品注入量。

Incompatibility of mobile phase with sample often results in peak fronting. Dissolve sample in mobile phase or another compatible solvent

峰肩膀和山峰

肩膀
肩膀峰

分裂峰
Split peak

肩膀peaks and split peaks often result due to presence of two closely unresolved compounds.

减少样本量或使用稀释溶液通常会分解

分开的峰也是由弗里特阻塞引起的。20-30 mL流动相的反向流通常可以分解峰分裂。

更换阻塞的弗里特或防护柱

当由于两种紧密洗脱的化合物而造成分裂时,请在注射前使用样品清理

As you have seen above a number of causes of peak shape distortions are common such as pH control of mobile phase, blockage due to particulate contamination, blocked frits and column overload. The shape of the distortions can be improved by taking corrective steps and other recommended steps whenever necessary.

      1. 嗨,拉梅什,
        在衍生过程中,似乎正在引入一些杂质。由于未识别的杂质是使用较高纯度的衍生化试剂尝试噪声的主要因素。此外,由于微小气泡也会引起随机噪声,因此请注意彻底的流动相。

  1. 伙计,您的宏伟商品。我以前了解您的东西,您非常出色。
    实际上,我喜欢您在这里获得的内容,当然喜欢您的意思和您所说的方式。
    You make it entertaining and you still take care of to keep it
    明智。我等不及要从你那里阅读更多。
    This is really a tremendous site.

  2. Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess
    我只是总结一下我写的话,我非常喜欢你的
    博客。我也是一个有抱负的博客博客作者,但我仍然是所有事物的新手。
    你有给菜鸟博客作家的建议吗?
    I’d certainly appreciate it.

    1. 没有制定博客规则。只需将自己放在目标受众的鞋子上,并提供他们想知道的知识即可。保持您的语言简单,并在看到机会时分享您的经验。这样,他们将能够与您认同,并将其粘在您的文章中。他们会感到您也经历了与您目前经历的职业/生活的同一阶段。
