Stationary-phase optimized selectivity liquid chromatography: Development of a linear gradient prediction algorithm

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Stationary-phase optimized selectivity liquid chromatography (SOS-LC) is a tool in reversed-phase LC (RP-LC) to optimize the selectivity for a given separation by combining stationary phases in a multisegment column. The presently (commercially) available SOS-LC optimization procedure and algorithm are only applicable to isocratic analyses. Step gradient SOS-IX has been developed, but this is still not very elegant for the analysis of complex mixtures composed of components covering a broad hydrophobicity range. A linear gradient prediction algorithm has been developed allowing one to apply SOSLC as a generic RP-LC optimization method. The algorithm allows operation in isocratic, stepwise, and linear gradient run modes. The features of SOS-LC in the linear gradient mode are demonstrated by means of a mixture of 13 steroids, whereby baseline separation is predicted and experimentally demonstrated.
