Novel approaches to enhancing selectivity and efficiency in microscale liquid chromatographyVallano, Patrick T. 06 March 2001 (has links)
For a number of reasons, miniaturization of chromatographic columns has been
a general trend over the past three decades. Methods designed to enhance selectivity
and efficiency can offer improved separation power and speed, expanding on the
advantages of miniaturized columns. This dissertation describes novel approaches in
this direction, focusing on two areas: the development of affinity-type sorbents for
capillary HPLC derived from molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) and the study of
perfusive electroosmosotic flow (EOF) and its effect on efficiency in capillary
electrochromatography (CEC).
MIPs are synthetic polymers capable of selectively binding a template
molecule incorporated prior to polymerization. MIPs prepared using nortripyline, a
tricyclic antidepressant drug, were employed to screen a simulated chemical library,
consisting of a series of structural analogs and related compounds. A parameter was
introduced to quantify the selective retention of the analytes. Library compounds
containing the major structural features of the template (ring structure and pendant 2��
amine) exhibited the highest affinity for the MIP.
The use of macroporous packings under conditions of electroosmotic perfusion
can result in improved chromatographic efficiencies. In this work, the performance of
CEC columns packed with particles having different nominal pore diameters was
investigated. The results indicate that perfusive EOF can yield significant gains in
efficiency and speed, especially when wide pore packings and dilute buffers are
employed.
A model was developed that estimates the extent of perfusive EOF expressed
as an effective particle diameter, d[subscript p,eff] The results suggest that the observed efficiency
gains are not entirely due to smaller d[subscript p,eff] values and could perhaps be due to a
decreased A term in the wide pore packings.
The electrical conductivity of CEC columns was used to assess intraparticle
flow permeability under conditions of perfusion. Results for the narrow pore (100 ��)
column were in agreement with theory for nonporous spheres, indicating intraparticle
current was negligible, while the wide pore (1000 and 4000��) columns exceeded
theoretical values by a factor of two. These results provide evidence of the existence
of "through-pores" and that intraparticle flow permeability (and potential for improved
efficiency with perfusion) is greatest with wide pore packings. / Graduation date: 2001

Monolithic sorbents for microscale separationsDoneanu, Angela 28 April 2005 (has links)
Over the last decade, the miniaturization of analytical systems has become
an increasingly important and interesting research area. Miniaturized systems offer
many advantages, including reduced reagent and sample consumption, shorter
analysis times, portability and disposability. This dissertation describes novel
approaches in this direction, focusing on two areas: the miniaturization of existing
column chromatographic systems and the development of microfluidic systems in
which the separation is performed in a channel on a microchip.
A new type of methacrylate-based monolithic capillary columns for liquid
chromatography and capillary electrochromatography were prepared within the
confines of fused-silica tubing using Starburst dendrimers to affect porosity.
The polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers were incorporated into a solution of
functionalized monomer, cross-linker, solvents, and polymerization initiator.
Thermal polymerization, followed by the removal of solvent and dendrimers,
produced a continuous rod of polymer with uniform porosity. Different column
porosities were obtained by varying the amount of the dendrimer template. The
chromatographic performance of these monolithic columns was evaluated using a
peptides mixture obtained by tryptic digestion of chicken egg lysozyme.
A distinct advantage of polymer monolithic stationary phases over
conventional packed chromatographic beds is the ability to prepare them easily and
rapidly via free radical polymerization within the channels of a microfluidic device.
In this work, continuous polymeric beds were prepared within a channel of
three different microchip substrates: glass, poly(dimethylsiloxane) and
polycarbonate. The methacrylate-based monolith was cast in-situ via UV-initiated
polymerization. The functionalization of the inner wall of the channel with
methacryloyl groups enabled the covalent binding of the monolith to the wall. The
morphology of the wall-anchored monolith was studied by SEM of chip sections,
and by SEM of an extruded segment of non-anchored monolith from a separate
chip. / Graduation date: 2005

Pressure-driven and electroosmotically-driven liquid chromatographic separations in packed fused silica capillariesRemcho, Vincent Thomas 24 October 2005 (has links)
Means of achieving rapid, efficient separations of analytes are explored in detail, with particular emphasis on the use of chromatographic and electrophoretic theory as an aid in system design and optimization. The benefits of miniaturization of chromatographic systems are assessed.
First, the utility of semi-micro Ion Chromatography is explored by the manufacture of 2mm ID analytical and suppressor columns and a micro-conductivity cell. The quality of the columns and detector cell are evaluated by the separation of a test mixture and the calculation of peak variance contribution of the detector cell. The use of readily available analytical scale instrumentation for semi-micro IC is demonstrated.
Next, a further downsizing of the IC system is described, in which 530μm ID fused silica tubing is utilized for column manufacture. In this case, a suppressor column is not used and UV detection is employed in the analysis of nucleoside monophosphates. Again, column performance characteristics are measured and noted. Application of this system to the separation of a hydrolysed nucleic acid sample demonstrates the feasibility of the technique to the analysis of volume-limited samples in low concentration with notable sensitivity.
The benefits of a miniaturized liquid chromatographic system under pressure-driven flow is studied and the improved permeability of micropacked capillary columns is exploited in the manufacture of several 25 to 30cm columns which achieve high efficiencies with relatively low pressure drops. Van Deemter plots illustrate the performance characteristics of the columns.
Finally, electroosmotic flow is studied as the motive force for liquid chromatographic separations. This combination of two techniques, packed capillary liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis, results in a system which achieves good resolving power through maximization of selectivity and efficiency. / Ph.

Hand-portable Capillary Liquid Chromatography InstrumentationSharma, Sonika 01 December 2015 (has links)
This dissertation focuses on the development of hand-portable capillary liquid chromatography (LC) instrumentation. In this work, battery-operable nano-flow pumping systems (isocratic and gradient) were developed and integrated with portable UV-absorption detectors for capillary LC. The systems were reduced in size to acceptable weights and power usage for field operation. A major advantage of the pumps is that they do not employ a splitter, since they were specifically designed for capillary column use, thereby greatly reducing solvent consumption and waste generation. UV-absorption detectors were specifically designed and optimized for on-column detection to minimize extra-column band broadening. Initially, an isocratic nano-flow pumping system with a stop-flow injector was integrated with an on-column UV-absorption detector (254 nm). The pumping system gave excellent flow rate accuracy (<99.94%) and low percent injection carry-over (RSD 0.31%) suitable for quantitative analysis. Using sodium anthraquinone-2-sulfonate, the detector gave an LOD (S/N = 3) of 0.13 µM, which was 12 times lower than a commercial UV-absorption detector. Reversed-phase separations of a homologous series of alkyl benzenes was demonstrated. Further miniaturization of UV-absorption detection was accomplished using a 260 nm deep UV LED. The detector was small in size and weighed only 85 g (without electronics). No optical reference was included due to the low drift in the signal. Two ball lenses, one of which was integrated with the LED, were used to increase light throughput through the capillary column. Stray light was minimized by the use of a band-pass filter and an adjustable slit. Signals down to the ppb level (nM) were easily detected with a short-term noise level of 4.4 µAU, confirming a low limit of detection and low noise. The detection limit for adenosine-5'-monophosphate was 230 times lower than any previously reported values. Isocratic separations of phenolic compounds were performed using a poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate monolithic capillary column. Finally, a novel nano-flow gradient generator integrated with a stop-flow injector was developed. Gradient performance was found to be excellent for gradient step accuracy (RSD < 1.2%, n = 4) and linear gradient reproducibility (RSD < 1.42%, n = 4). Separations of five phenols were demonstrated using the nano-flow gradient system. Efforts to develop a 405 nm laser diode-based UV-absorption detector for hemoglobin analysis were described.
