Introduction to High Performance Liquid Chromatography and Gas chromatography By: Mohammed Sabah 2013
In This Section, We Will Discuss: • The differences between High Performance Liquid Chromatography and Gas Chromatography. • The components of the high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC). • The separation process. • The chromatogram. • The most common modes of HPLC.
I need a quantitative separation of carbohydrates in some of our products as soon as possible. I’ll get on it! I’ll need a separation technique. You’ve Got a Problem to Solve
Separation Techniques I have two separation techniques in my lab, High Performance Liquid Chromatography and Gas Chromatography. Which should I use?
What are the main differences between High Performance Liquid Chromatography and Gas Chromatography? • In HPLC the mobile phase is a liquid whereas in GC the mobile phase orcarrier is a gas. • HPLC is useful for analysis of samples which are liable to decompose athigher temperatures. GC involves high temperatures so compounds are stableat such temperatures. • GC is applied for analysis of volatile compounds whereas nonvolatile compounds can be easily analyzed on HPLC • GC cannot be used for analysis of high molecular weight molecules whereas HPLC has applications for separation and identification of very high molecular weight compounds • HPLC requires higher operating pressures than GC because liquids require higher pressures than gases for transport through the system • HPLC columns are short and wide in comparison to GC columns
Comparison of HPLC and GC Sample Volatility Sample Polarity HPLC HPLC • Separates both polar andnon polar compounds • PAH - inorganic ions • No volatility requirement • Sample must be solublein mobile phase GC GC • Samples are nonpolarand polar • Sample must be volatile PAH= Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
Comparison of HPLC and GC Sample Thermal Lability Sample Molecular Weight HPLC HPLC • Analysis can take placeat or below roomtemperature • No theoretical upper limit • In practicality, solubility islimit. GC GC • Sample must be able to survive high temperature injection port and column • Typically < 500 amu amu= atomic mass unit
Comparison of HPLC and GC Sample Preparation Sample Size HPLC HPLC • Sample must be filtered • Sample should be insame solvent as mobilephase • Sample size based uponcolumn GC GC • Typically 1 - 5 L • Solvent must be volatile
Separation Mechanism Detectors HPLC HPLC • Both stationary phase and mobile phase take part • Most common UV-Vis • Wide range of non-destructive detectors • 3-dimensional detectors GC GC • Most common FID,universal to organiccompounds • Mobile phase is a sample carrier only Comparison of HPLC and GC FID= flame ionization detector

Injector Mixer Pumps Column Detector Waste Solvents High Performance Liquid Chromatograph Separations Separation in based upon differential migration between the stationary and mobile phases. Stationary Phase - the phase which remains fixed in the column, e.g. C18, Silica Mobile Phase - carries the sample through the stationary phase as it moves through the column.
