Although salt ions severely distort the gas hydrate lattice this phenomenon is poorly realized in the existing statistical thermodynamics models . We propose a mechanistic model by addressing a novel concept of instability in the hydrate water film arising due to salt exclusion . The consequent water reorientation in the unstable lattice due to excluded ions is described in terms of the stress buildup in the hydrate lattice using Poiriers theory of crystal creep . Tolmans theory is reworked to account for the combined influence of guest and salt concentration on the surface energy of the phases in contact . Together with an empirical conformational term the three phase hydrate equilibrium is modelled . To describe the liquid phase non ideality the UNIQUAC and Pitzer activity coefficient models are combined . For vapour phase Patel and Teja equation of state is used whereas for hydrate phase Klauda and Sandler model is utilized . The particle swarm optimization is hybridized with simplex search algorithm to identify the model parameters . The proposed thermo physical hydrate model exhibits an improved performance over the existing models which is quantified in terms of absolute average relative deviation with respect to the experimental data .

The isobaric VLE data of and system were determined at 101.3kPa for industrial separation . A minimum azeotrope was discovered at
Determine the VLE data of the unknown system molecular dynamics analysis. In our preliminary experiments we found that ethyl acetate and triethylamine had the lowest azeotrope and it was difficult to obtain high purity ethyl acetate from the reactive system. When the liquid molar fraction of diethylamine is greater than 0.4687 the azeotrope of the ethyl acetate triethylamine system can be eliminated. The molecular dynamics method was used to analyze the reason why the azeotropic point disappeared. The results showed that the van der Waals effect and electrostatic effect around ethyl acetate after the addition of diethylamine were the main reasons for the disappearance of the azeotropic point of the ethyl acetate triethylamine system.

Multi linear gradients are a convenient solution to get separation of complex samples by modulating carefully the gradient slope in order to accomplish the local selectivity needs for each particular solute cluster . These gradients can be designed by trial and error according to the chromatographer experience but this strategy becomes quickly inappropriate for complex separations . More evolved solutions imply the sequential construction of multi segmented gradients . However this strategy discards part of the search space in each step of the construction and again can not deal properly with very complex samples . When the complexity is too large the only valid alternative for finding the best gradient is the use of global search methods such as genetic algorithms . Recently a new global approach where the level of detail is increased along the search has been proposed namely Multi scale optimisation . In this strategy cubic splines are applied to build intermediate curves to define any arbitrary solvent variation function . Subdivision schemes are used to generate the cubic splines and control their level of detail . The search was subjected to a number of restrictions such as avoiding long elution and favouring a balanced peak distribution . The aim of this work is evaluating and comparing the results of GAs and MSO . Both approaches were tested with a set of 14 diuretics and probenecid eluted with acetonitrile water mixtures using a C18 column . Satisfactory baseline resolution was obtained with an analysis time of 1516min . We found that GAs optimisation offered results equivalent to those provided by MSO when the penalisation parameters were included in the cost function .
Multi scale optimisation MSO is compared with Genetics Algorithms GAs . Long analysis times and excessive steeped slopes close to the peaks are penalized. Good agreement between experimental and predictions and balanced peak distributions. GAs with penalisation parameters found similar separations to MSO.

Three different applications of travelling heating zone reactor chromatography for the downstream processing of monoclonal antibodies are described . mAb containing feedstocks were applied to a fixed bed of the thermoresponsive rProtein A matrix Byzen Pro contained in a bespoke column fitted with a travelling heating device encircling a narrow section of the column . For the demonstration of continuous concentration uninterrupted loading of 1.0g L mAb in a pH 8 binding buffer was synchronized with 5 repeated movements of the heating zone along the columns full length at a velocity of 0.1mm s. Elution of mAbs was induced solely by the travelling heating zones action each full movement generating a sharp concentrated elution peak accompanied by a small transient mAb concentration dependent dip in conductivity . Quasi steady state operation occurred from the third elution onwards delivering a mean mAb concentration of 4.9g L and process yield 93 . Quasi continuous separation of the target mAb from bovine serum albumin BSA was achieved by cyclically alternating the feeding of the mAb BSA feedstock with that of the binding buffer alone supply of the latter was timed to coincide with movement of the heating zone . Accurate coordination of the heating zones travel and switching from feed to buffer permitted quasi steady state collection of sharp peaks of mAb in high purity and yield in 4.5fold concentrated form with BSA exiting in the flow through fractions between successive mAb elution peaks . Fully automated THZR mediated quasi continuous buffer exchange of 1.34g L mAb from a phosphate buffer pH 8 into a HEPES buffer pH 8 of slightly lower conductivity was performed over a 19h period by carefully timed switching from one feed solution to the other and back again whilst synchronising movement of the heating zone with feeding of the exchange buffer . Quasi steady state operation resulted in an average eluted mAb yield of 94.5 and concentration of 4.8g L. Triggering movement of the heating zone slightly ahead of the switch from mAb feed to exchange buffer permitted the positioning of mAb elution peaks in 9mL volume segments with the lowest recorded conductivity . Measurements of buffer exchange performance conducted with two protein free systems demonstrated that compared to tangential flow filtration in diafiltration mode which represents the state of the art technology for buffer exchange the THZR chromatography based approach affords a 60 saving in minimum volume of exchange buffer required to remove 99.9 of the original buffer . Combined far and near UV circular dichroism intrinsic fluorescence and thermal melting experiments showed that unlike conventional Protein A G affinity chromatography the conditions for THZR Protein A chromatography respect maintenance of a favourable structural profile for mAbs .
Gentle mAb purification using thermoresponsive chromatography. Three applications of a novel travelling heating zone reactor THZR . Continuous mAb concentration 5 fold high yield of 93 . Quasi continuous mAb separation from a second component with high purities 98 . Quasi continuous buffer exchange demonstrating potential exchange buffer savings.

It is challenging to achieve absolute quantitation and accurate identification with mass spectrometry imaging techniques . The issues facing these techniques include the uncertainty of sampling and ionization efficiencies in a localized environment the difficulty in defining the concentration of spiked standard on tissue and the low identification capability of MS in distinguishing isobaric compounds . In this study we coupled continuous flow liquid microjunction surface sampling with ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography MS for quantitative MSI of brain tissue . LC separation could increase the dimensions of identification and reduce the matrix effects in the tissue . A new LMJSS extraction solvent was developed to achieve exhaustive surface sampling therefore direct internal standard addition in the extraction solvent could be used for spot to spot absolute quantitation . The results showed that sphingolipids were successfully separated from their isobaric counterparts with LCMS and 10 sphingolipids were identified and imaged in brain tissue . The matrix effects in different locations of brain tissue with the new solvent were all in the range of 80 150 . Compared with the traditional LMJSS solvent the new solvent led to higher detection coverage and 6 10 fold higher sensitivity for 6 identified metabolites in brain tissue . Moreover extraction efficiencies of 8098 for targeted sphingolipids in brain tissue were obtained with the new solvent which allowed direct standard addition in extracts for absolute quantitation . Finally the absolute quantitation results with LMJSSLCMSI were compared with those using traditional bulk tissue extractionLCMS and similar quantitation results with these two methods were obtained for sphingolipids . The absolute quantitative spatial distributions of targeted metabolites largely matched previously reported results . The method was applied to a study on the quantitative spatial changes of sphingolipids and creatine in brain after traumatic brain injury . The biological replicate results showed that 2 metabolites had significant changes after TBI in several specific regions of brain tissue .

Thermal papers significantly contribute to contamination of paper material cycles and the environment with substances of toxicological concern . In particular they contain color developers like endocrine disrupting bisphenols in typical concentrations of about 12 percent per weight . Bisphenol A was used as the common color developer over the last decades but it will be restricted for thermal paper application in the European Union to a limit of 0.02wt from 2020 onwards . Consequently a variety of BPA substituents such as bisphenol S and its derivatives gain importance in thermal paper application . In this study a rapid reliable and cost effective method for identification and quantification of BPA alternative color developers and related substances like sensitizers is presented based on HPLC separation coupled with diode array detection and Corona charged aerosol detection . Quantification was performed with regard to the intended use of the substances in thermal papers . Besides traditional UV external calibration using reference standards alternative quantification approaches in particular UV chromophore concentration for BPS derivatives and CAD universal response technique for low volatile color developers were applied and compared in order to allow quantification without reference substances . A market analysis for intended used color developers and sensitizers was performed on thermal paper samples collected in Germany during 2018 and 2019 .

A novel approach based on the use of desirability functions is presented for the robustness assessment of liquid chromatographic separations as derived from computer assisted methods development processes . The approach is based on generally accepted hypothesis that a robust separation procedure will be inert to small random variations of the operational variables typically encountered in the day to day routine analytical practice . This means that peak positions along the chromatograms must keep standstill or move insignificantly when operational variables are not intentionally changed . Thus the degree of peak positions variation as evaluated from mathematical retention models can be used to assess the robustness of the developed procedures before testing the actual performance experimentally . In the approach proposed this assessment is obtained by fixing a bilateral partial desirability window around each peak in the simulated chromatogram . The whole chromatogram robustness is characterized by an overall desirability value calculated as the geometric mean of the partial desirability windows evaluation . An added advantage of this approach is that the robustness value calculated is normalized between zero and one and thus easy to interpret . Thus when chromatograms are simulated and small random variations are introduced into the operational factors of the model values for the overall desirability close to one means that the procedure performs robustly . On the contrary low values for the overall desirability clearly indicated a serious lack of robustness . When used in conjunction with the Pareto optimality approach as shown here this robustness assessment strategy allows testing several Pareto front solutions before the final experimental testing which is always needed . In this way a dramatical reduction of the experimental effort is obtained . Although the approach is theoretically applicable to any chromatographic separation examples of reversed phase liquid chromatographic procedures are used to show the performance of the proposed methodology .
Novel approach to assess the robustness of LC procedures based on desirability functions. Bilateral desirability functions used for the first time in the assessment of LC separation robustness.

At the borderline between size exclusion chromatography and interaction chromatography there is a special mobile phase composition and temperature at which polymer chains become chromatographically invisible . This point is termed as chromatographic critical point and chromatographic separations performed using these conditions are called liquid chromatography at critical conditions . LCCC is a powerful technique in the analysis of functional polymers and block copolymers . At these so called critical conditions molar mass discrimination of any specific homopolymer is suppressed rendering elution of whole range of molar mass at same elution volume . These conditions allow enhanced separation with regard to non critical segment either in exclusion or interaction regime of the polymer chromatography . This article is intended to critically discuss different parameters that can be maneuvered to improve separation and in turn characterization of non critical segment of block copolymers at LCCC . Different experimental parameters evaluated in this study include pore size of the column mobile phase composition temperature and gradients . These parameters can be adeptly adjusted to improve separation of non critical segment while keeping the other segment close to critical conditions . Current study demonstrates that pore diameter and mobile phase are the only practical variable that can be used for improvement of characterization of non critical block in the block copolymer while non critical block is in exclusion regime . On the other hand pore diameter of the column temperature solvent composition and gradients are important parameters that can be skillfully tuned for improvement of separation of non critical block while non critical block elutes in interaction regime . The above mentioned variations are evaluated for di block as well as tri block copolymers of A B A and B A B type . Moreover LCCC IC is especially important for analysis of poloxamers .

In the present study during removal of minor impurities by twin column recycling chromatography with a solvent gradient a compressing band effect was generated to offset band spreading and retain the principal component band within one column . For real time monitoring a detector was mounted on line after the upstream column to monitor when the tail of the principal component was eluted from this column . When the conditions fluctuated the column were switched to ensure successful separation without the need to determine the adsorption equilibrium in advance . Optimization of the operating conditions revealed that increasing the solvent gradient improved pre impurity separation but impeded post impurity removal . Changing the feed volume within a certain range hardly affected separation of the impurities and increasing the number of cycles enhanced separation of the impurities .
Twin column recycling chromatography with solvent gradient removed minor impurities efficiently. The detector behind the upstream column could determine the columns switching. The band spreading was counterbalanced by the band compression. The displacement was strengthened to remove the minor pre impurities.

The separation of 14 chiral sulfoxides was systematically studied on 12 cellulose based chiral columns in acetonitrile and acetonitrile water mobile phases . Out of all monosubstituted methylphenylcarbamates of cellulose the one having a methyl moiety in position 3 showed more universal chiral resolving ability compared to 2 and 4 substituted derivatives . Out of disubstituted phenylcarbamates of cellulose the ones with methyl substituents showed higher enantiomer resolving ability compared to chloro substituted ones and substitution in positions 3 of the phenyl moiety was clearly advantageous . From disubstituted derivatives those possessing a combination of methyl and chloro substituents were advantageous compared to the ones having dimethyl or dichloro substituents . Chiral recognition ability of most chiral selectors towards studied sulfoxides was higher in pure acetonitrile compared to previously studied methanol . The effect of water addition to the mobile phase on analyte retention and enantioseparation was also quite different from that observed with methanol . In particular with aqueous methanol by increasing the water content in the mobile phase retention increased in most cases and the separation factor improved . In contrast with aqueous acetonitrile retention and separation factors decreased up to a certain water content in the mobile phase and then started to recover again for most of the studied analytes .

Pentacyclic triterpenoids possess high biological activity including antitumor anti inflammatory antiviral and hepatoprotective properties and are widespread in a plant biomass . Due to significant differences in polarity and other physicochemical properties the simultaneous determination of different classes of PCTs by the methods of reversed phase liquid chromatography is difficult .

The presence of a liquid stationary phase in liquidliquid chromatography allows for high versatility of operation as well as adaptability to different sample types and separation tasks . LLC also known as countercurrent chromatography or centrifugal partition chromatography offers the user a variety of operating modes many of which have no direct equivalent in conventional preparative liquidsolid chromatography . These operating modes have the potential to greatly improve LLC separation performance compared to the standard classical isocratic batch injection mode and they often require minimal to no addition of equipment to the standard set up . However reports of the use of alternative LLC operating modes make up only a fraction of the literature . This is likely due at least in part to the lack of clear guidelines and methods for operating mode and parameter selection leaving alternative process options to be avoided and underutilized . This review seeks to remedy this by providing a thorough overview of the available LLC operating modes identifying the key characteristics advantages and disadvantages and areas of application of each . Additionally the equations and short cut models aiding in operating mode and parameter selection are presented and critiqued and their notation is unified for clarity . By rendering LLC and its alternative operating modes more accessible to current and prospective users it is hoped to help expand the application of this technology and support the achievement of its full potential .

The off flavor compounds geosmin and 2 methylisoborneol are well known to impact the quality of farmed freshwater fish species but little is known about off flavors in marine aquaculture . To begin addressing this knowledge gap a method for determining geosmin and 2 MIB using LC with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization MS detection was developed . While 2 MIB was readily detected using LC APCI MS geosmin exhibited on column degradation that was independent of column chemistry and could not be eliminated . Optimized conditions were identified that balanced the separation and ionization efficiency of 2 MIB and geosmin while minimizing geosmin degradation but the overall method sensitivity for geosmin was reduced by the on column losses . The method was used with direct aqueous injections to determine the volatilization rates of geosmin and 2 MIB at ppb levels during aeration under laboratory conditions in both salt water and pure water to simulate marine and fresh water aquaculture respectively . The volatilization rates of both compounds were 30 faster in salt water than in fresh water with or without aeration but aeration was found to enhance the rate by a factor of 2.5 in both water types . The LC APCI MS method was combined with stir bar sorptive extraction to achieve greater sensitivity for determining off flavors in recirculating aquaculture system water . Using SBSE LC APCI MS the LODs for geosmin and 2 MIB were 70ng kg and 6ng kg respectively . The on column losses resulted in a relatively high LOD for geosmin that renders this method unsuitable for determining geosmin at the low ng kg levels expected in RAS . SBSE using both grab water samples and an in situ diving unit were used to evaluate 2 MIB levels in the culture water of two separate marine RAS that were supporting the growth of European sea bass but had differing levels of water treatment . 2 MIB was readily detected using both SBSE approaches in the RAS with less sophisticated treatment when the animal stocking density was at its highest 50kg m
First LC APCI MS method for determining geosmin and 2 MIB was developed. Method is sensitive for 2 MIB but has limited applicability for geosmin due to losses. Aeration enhances volatilization of geosmin and 2 MIB from both pure and salt water. SBSE LC APCI MS with grab and in situ samples can determine 2 MIB in RAS water. The degree of water treatment in marine RAS influences 2 MIB levels in culture water.

Most adsorbent materials used for preconcentrating and thermally desorbing volatile and semi volatile organic compounds in portable or micro gas chromatographic instruments preferentially capture non polar or moderately polar compounds relative to more polar compounds . Here we explore the use of a known trigonaltripyramidal room temperature ionic liquid as a surface modifier for the graphitized carbons Carbopack B and Carbopack X with the goal of enhancing their capacity and selectivity for polar S VOCs . Breakthrough tests were performed by challenging tubes packed with 2.5mg of C B or RTIL coated C B with 13 individual S VOCs including several organophosphorus compounds and reference alkyl and aromatic hydrocarbons of comparable vapor pressures at concentrations ranging from 14 to 130mg m
With the RTIL capacities for polar e.g. organophosphorus vapors increased 2.5 . With the RTIL capacities for non polar vapors decreased 1126. Trends in capacity were strongly correlated with analyte vapor pressure. Trends in capacity were not well described by LSER models.

In counter current chromatography the hydrodynamic motion of a two phase solvent system in the column coil is very important . There are some previous visualization studies on CCC using stroboscopic photography . As CCC separation is a continuous liquid liquid extraction process observing the distribution and movement of the solvent system on line will be helpful to understand the hydrodynamic behavior during the whole CCC separation process . In the present study a high speed imaging camera was employed to take videos of a running CCC bobbin . The dynamic motion and phase distribution of conventional quaternary solvent system hexane ethyl acetate methanol water and ternary solvent system dichloromethane methanol water were both investigated . Wave like mixing was observed in the area where the centrifugal force is minimum in different diameter columns . When the coil rotated the mixing zone was fixed at the minimum centrifugal force position . Several photographs of the rotating coiled tube were taken which revealed that the phase dispersion hardly changes once equilibrium is established . Finally the sample dispersion process was also recorded . These results will help us to understand the separation process in a CCC column coil and also present some more interesting questions related to separation efficiency which are shown in discussion part of this paper .
Mixing zone was located near to the proximal key node and traveled through the column. Every parts of bobbin went through a mixing settle process. Phase distribution hardly changed once hydrodynamic has been established. The sample diffusion was quite fast after injection which might cause low efficiency.

This work examines the separation dynamics of monoclonal antibody monomer dimer mixtures by frontal analysis using ceramic hydroxyapatite CHT Type I and Type II columns . The binding capacity and selectivity are dependent on the CHT type and salt concentration . While the rate of protein adsorption on CHT Type I is slow and controlled largely by pore diffusion resulting in relatively poor separation adsorption on CHT Type II is much faster and better separation is obtained than with Type I . However comparison with predictions based on pore diffusion alone reveals the presence of additional resistances associated with adsorption and displacement kinetics . A spreading kinetics model assuming multiple binding configurations coupled with pore diffusion was developed to describe these effects and found to be in quantitative agreement with the frontal analysis results and able to predict the separation achieved for conditions outside the range of the experiments . To help validate the assumed mechanism isocratic elution experiments were also conducted at low protein loads . The chromatograms could be described by the solution of the spreading model coupled with pore diffusion in the linear region of the isotherm with parameters determined from the analytical expressions for the peak moments . This confirms that there is an increasing tendency to spread with slower kinetics as the salt concentration is decreased and binding strength is increased .

Biochemical and thermochemical processes are two pathways to convert lignocellulosic biomass into fuels and chemicals . Both conversion types produce aqueous complex samples containing many oxygenated chemical functions over a wide range of masses . Nowadays composition of these biomass products is still largely unknown especially their nonvolatile part mostly made of carbohydrates and their derivatives . In the present study size exclusion chromatography was investigated and applied on water soluble phase of a fast pyrolysis bio oil and on aqueous phase of pretreated wheat straw . An optimization of mobile phase composition using model molecules was necessary to limit non steric interactions and elute all chemical families . At the end separation of carbohydrates heterosides and aromatic species was performed . The chemical organization of SEC chromatograms was confirmed by coupling SEC with a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer using electrospray ionization in the negative mode . On line SEC UV FT ICR MS hyphenation was a powerful tool to provide exact mass distribution of samples and get molecular formulae classed by chemical family . To go further the complementarity of SEC with reversed phase liquid chromatography was established with an off line comprehensive 2D LC analysis of the two samples . First 140 fractions were collected physically from SEC separation for each sample then each fraction was analyzed by RPLC hyphenated to an Ion Trap Time of Flight mass spectrometer using ESI in both positive and negative modes . This comprehensive approach combining 2D LC and high resolution mass spectrometry nearly doubled the number of peaks detected in comparison with 1D RPLC analysis and thus offered well resolved 2D contour plots considered as relevant analytical fingerprints of the aqueous phase of biomass samples .

A proteomic workflow for a simple loss less manual nano fractionation for low g sample amounts which avoids the need to dry down or transfer fractions to autosampler vials is shown to be feasible . It is demonstrated that the conventional procedure of drying samples down followed by reconstitution negatively affects the number of protein and peptide identifications . Furthermore these losses seem to disproportionately affect hydrophobic peptides from the drying down and reconstitution step . By collecting and concatenating the fractions while the outlet of the column is submerged in a small predefined volume of 0.2 formic acid the content of acetonitrile in the collecting vials was lowered such that it was compatible with direct injection for the online analysis . This additionally resulted in a time gain of approx . an hour for the total fractionation time . Acetonitrile concentrations up to 7.5 do not seem to compromise the chromatographic performance in the online analysis . Using as little as 2g digested HeLa lysate approx . 7000 protein groups could be easily identified with 2 or more unique peptides . This was the case when fractionation was performed at pH 10 as well as at pH 5.5 .
True loss less reversed phase fractionation using nano flow is feasible. Ability to collect fractions of 300nL manually. Simple dilute and shoot strategy to collect and analyze concatenated fractions. Improved number of peptide ID s through avoiding drying reconstitution steps. Mildly acidic reversed phase chromatography exhibits sufficient orthogonality.

A fully continuous downstream process represents one of the most interesting novel purification approaches in the biosimilars industry because it would enhance the production output while reducing the costs of complex biopharmaceuticals . Since it generally involves several chromatographic steps the selection of appropriate chromatographic columns is of utmost importance . In this study we compared several commercially available ion exchange membrane adsorbers for the removal of deoxyribonucleic acid host cell proteins and monoclonal antibody aggregates in flow through mode . Design of Experiments was employed to determine the optimal pH and conductivity conditions . We demonstrated that all the anion exchange membrane adsorbers were capable of removing DNA and HCPs from monoclonal antibody mixtures below the required threshold across a wide range of sample pH and conductivity values and that the HCPs normalized outlet concentration increases almost linearly with the loading being independent of the HCPs concentration . No significant differences in the profile of the adsorbed HCPs with respect to the membrane adsorbers were observed based on 2D electrophoresis analysis data although they exhibited different binding capacities . Cation exchange membrane adsorbers were also tested for the removal of aggregates . The Yamamoto model was used to determine the number of binding sites and estimate the conductivity range for efficient removal of aggregates while maintaining a high monoclonal antibody recovery . However the obtained range had to be further fine tuned experimentally due to displacement phenomena . Differences in the trends of binding site number with a change in the pH value for the tested cation exchange adsorbers indicate slightly different adsorption mechanisms . To obtain optimal process performance adjustments to the pH and the conductivity were required between the anion and cation exchange steps .
Implementation of membrane adsorbers for continuous impurity removal from Mabs. Displacement plays important role in determination of operating conditions. Different anion exchange adsorbers removes same HCPs but to different level.

Current metabolomics research utilizes liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry analyses to handle biological samples that contain thousands of quantifiable metabolites . However no LCMS MS condition is suitable for directly analyzing all metabolites . An alternative approach is to derivatize metabolites to impart desirable properties such as better chromatographic separation enhanced ionization efficiency or fluorescence detection . An important category of metabolites is amine containing compounds which includes amino acids neurotransmitters alkaloids biogenic amines etc . Various derivatization methods have been developed for amine groups but few studies have compared their relative strengths and weaknesses .

Our previous studies on protein adsorption to the anion exchangers of poly grafted Sepharose FF found that both adsorption capacity and uptake rate of bovine serum albumin increased greatly when the PEI grafting density reached over a critical ionic capacity due to the 3D protein binding and occurrence of chain delivery of bound proteins . Moreover by the investigation on the anion exchangers of diethylaminoethyl modified and DEAE dextran grafted Sepharose FF we found the unique role of surface ligand in facilitating protein uptake kinetics on dextran functionalized anion exchangers as the transfer station for the chain delivery of bound proteins . However what would be the contribution of surface ligands on the transport of bound proteins on PEI chains at a wide range across cIC particularly at the lower IC range where no chain delivery was present We have thus designed this research to answer the question . To this purpose we fabricated three series of PEI Sepharose FF resins one without surface ligand and two with surface DEAE modifications at DEAE coupling densities of 60 and 90mmol L and focused on the role of surface DEAE at different PEI densities in BSA adsorption equilibrium and uptake kinetics in a wide IC range of PEI across cIC . It was found that at low grafting ligand densities both adsorption capacity and uptake rate increased significantly after adding surface DEAE groups . At IC cIC however both adsorption capacity and uptake rate changed only slightly by the addition of surface DEAE groups . The results revealed that at IC cIC the surface DEAE groups provided the supplement of available binding sites and facilitated the happenings of the chain delivery of bound proteins as the transfer station both of which were limited at the low IC range . However at IC cIC the extended flexible PEI chains have already afforded 3D binding space with high accessibility and easy happening of chain delivery of bound proteins so the surface DEAE groups between neighboring PEI chains did not work in assisting the transport of bound proteins . Moreover when the IC was lower but close to the cIC the FF D PEI resins exhibited higher uptake rates than FF PEI resins at a similar or even lower IC values . These findings indicate that surface modification of charged groups in PEI based anion exchangers of low grafting density would be an efficient strategy to fabricate high performance protein ion exchangers .
DEAE groups are introduced to the gel surface of poly ethylenimine PEI Sepharose. Uptake capacity and rate increase with adding DEAE at PEI charge density 600mmol L. Capacity and rate change inappreciably with adding DEAE at charge density 600mmol L. DEAE PEI resin exhibits higher uptake rate than PEI resin at similar ionic capacity.

Estimation of the properties of mesoporous aluminosilicates in various environments is important when assessing their sorption capacity . Using inverse liquid chromatography Hansen solubility parameters and linear free energy relationship parameters were calculated to determine the properties of aluminosilicates in a protic and an aprotic system using water and acetonitrile as the mobile phase respectively . The calculated Hansen parameters reflecting the ability of the material under investigation to different types of intermolecular interactions slightly differ depending on the mobile phase used . It was found that in the presence of water the surface of aluminosilicates shows a weaker ability to interact as evidenced by negative or near zero
Surface properties of aluminosilicates can be estimate using liquid chromatography. The nature of the solvent affects the surface properties of aluminosilicates. Water reduces ability of the aluminosilicates surface to interactions.

This necessitates the constant improvement of their analytical methodology . In the present study the chromatographic effects of solvent composition salt concentration and salt type were systematically investigated in isocratic HILIC WAX separations of heparan sulfate disaccharides . The combined use of 75 acetonitrile with ammonium formate had overall benefits regarding intensity detection limits and peak shape for all salt concentrations investigated . Results obtained with the isocratic measurements suggested the potential use of a salt gradient method in order to maximize separation efficiency .

SFC is an improved way for separating chiral compounds during drug discovery processes yielding upwards of one hundred grams of pure enantiomers or during clinical trials requiring higher quantities .
Propranolol is separated by SFC on Chiralpak AD H. Four columns of different dimension were used. Column dimension impacts production rate and productivity. Column dimension does impact solvent use and E Factor. The utilization of the shortest column leads to the highest productivity.

As short chain chlorinated paraffins are listed on several monitoring programs validated methods are essential . However their complexity and the lack of commercially available certified reference materials hinder a proper validation of methods . Instead one method is usually validated by evaluating performances and results of spiked materials with that of one other method which could easily lead to unreliable results .
SCCPs were determined in candidate reference materials for potential certification. Determination involved four methods with different principles. The suitability of the GCECNILRMS method for SCCP determination is doubtful. Using spiked samples or solutions might not always be ideal for method validation. The results provide a good basis for possible certification of one of the materials.

In this work the Dubsky s model proposed for Capillary Electrophoresis enantioseparation systems with a mixture of chiral selectors was applied to the rapid optimization of the simultaneous enantiomeric separation of a multicomponent mixture of six phenoxy acid herbicides using a dual system of two cyclodextrins CD and heptakis CD . Simply by carrying out a small number of individual experiments separately with each CD the Dubsky s model enabled to foresee the results that could be obtained for any possible combination of concentrations and relative proportion of both CDs in the mixture . Results obtained in this work demonstrated that the model was successful by improving the previous results experimentally obtained by the trial and error method for the simultaneous enantiomeric separation of the six phenoxy acid herbicides studied in this work . In fact the separation was improved in terms of enantiomeric resolutions obtained and by considerably reducing the time to optimize the separation conditions enabling to find in a faster and efficient way the most adequate proportion of both CDs and the concentration of each CD in the mixture to obtain baseline separation of the twelve enantiomers . Additionally the apparent complexation constants between enantiomers and each CD were calculated . This is the first time that the above mentioned model was applied to a multicomponent mixture of chiral compounds .
Dubsky s etal. model for CE enantioseparations with dual systems was applied. Modeling based optimization of chiral separation of multicomponent mixtures. Quick optimization of simultaneous chiral separation of phenoxy acid herbicides. Improved resolution between enantiomers and among consecutive compounds. Fast and efficient optimization against trial and error procedure.
