Difference Between C8 and C18 Columns
C8 and C18 are both types of reverse-phase chromatography columns, but they differ in their: Carbon chain length: Hydrophobicity: Retention characteristics: Separation range: Column selectivity: In summary, C8 columns are used for smaller, more polar molecules, while C18 columns are used for larger, more non-polar molecules. The choice between C8 ... Read More
Base Line Noise in HPLC
While performing HPLC analysis with an existing method, sometimes we will observe more base line noise. However, we won’t observe that scenario previously. The major probability due to: About dirty mobile phase: Grade of organic solvet used for analysis. Especially In case of THF is there in mobile phase we ... Read More
Role of pKa and pH Values in HPLC
One of the critical factors influencing the success of an HPLC analysis is the control of pH, which directly impacts the ionization state of analytes. The pKa value of a compound, indicating its acid dissociation constant, plays a pivotal role in this process. pKa: A Key Parameter The pKa value ... Read More
Different Types of HPLC Columns in Pharmaceutical Analysis
In High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), the choice of column is crucial for successful separation and analysis. Let’s explore the different types of HPLC columns: Normal Phase HPLC Columns Stationary Phase: These columns have a more polar stationary phase than the mobile phase. Silica gel, a polar material, is commonly used ... Read More
Qualification of HPLC | A Complete Guide
The HPLC qualification process consists of four parts: Design Qualification (DQ) Design qualification (DQ) describes the user requirements and defines the functional and operational specifications of the instrument. It should ensure that instruments to be purchased have the necessary functions and performance that will enable them be suitable for the ... Read More
