CHROMATOGRAPHY • SPECTROSCOPY • SOFTWARE
CHROMATOGRAPHY • DAD-HPLC • LC-MS • LC-NMR • Resolution • Quantification • Pattern Recognition
Coupled chromatography – a revolution in the analytical laboratory. • Cheaper. • Benchtop. • Coupling many techniques e.g. DAD-LC-MS-NMR.
Resolution • How many peaks characterise a cluster? • Impurities • What are their characteristics? • Spectra and identities
DIODE ARRAY HPLC How many peaks in a cluster and where? Derivatives Chlorophyll degradation products

On-flow LC-NMR • Now quite easy • Potential routine use as an analytical technique of mixtures • Emphasis on speed and conservation of deuterated solvents • Mixture analysis • On-flow e.g. embedded peaks of isomers • Balance between chromatography and spectroscopy

Chromatograms Concentrations 100 30 20 20 QUANTIFICATION. Can we measure accurately chromatographic impurities? Multiway calibration
Predicting 0.1 – 0.5% impurities: pharmaceutical impurity monitoring and regulations
Chromatographic pattern recognition • Chromatographic columns and tests • Industrial importance as new columns arrive • Different columns (8) • Different test compounds (9) • Different pHs (2) • Different mobile phases (3) • Different peakshape parameters (4) • A lot of experimental work.
Aims • Determine the relationship between the columns. • Determine the relationship between the test parameters – which measure similar properties so can the number of test compounds or chromatographic peakshape parameters be reduced. • Compare directly the results of using different conditions e.g. different pHs or different mobile phases. • Compare directly the results using the full set of parameters and a subset – hence what information is lost by reducing the number of tests.
Comparing conditions Procrustes analysis Methanol and acetonitrile ; methanol and THF
PATTERN RECOGNITION – BADGER URINE • GCMS OF BADGER URINE • 84 Badgers • Sex • Time of year • Age • Diet / social group
SCORES OF OVERALL GROUP INCONCLUSIVE
LOADINGS – CHEMICAL FINGERPRINT Aldehydes, aromatics, ketones
CLASSIFICATION – PCA FOLLOWED BY MAHALANOBIS DISTANCE (SUMMER)
Can we group badgers by their chemical fingerprint? • Which chemicals are most diagnostic? • What combination of factors? • Is there are relationship between occurrence of chemicals?
PYROLYSIS GCMS • Pharmaceutical tablets • Method of production • Wet granulation • Direct compression • Can we distinguish origin? • Patent protection law.
Variable selection – by aligning GCMS and finding common peaks. By performing PCA and looking at scores and loadings. Reject some samples and variables.
Classification by Mahalanobis distance Cross-validation important
SPECTROSCOPY • Spectroscopy of mixtures e.g. uv/vis • Reaction monitoring by uv/vis, Raman and potentially NIR • Off-line • On-line
Spectroscopy of mixtures How much is known about the system? Are all pure standards available? How to validate the model? Cross-validation, test sets and experimental designs.
UV/vis spectroscopy of mixtures of 10 PAHs. Can the amount of a PAH be measured using spectroscopy? How reliably?
COAL TAR PITCH VOLATILES FROM INDUSTRY • Factories : place filter in factory – 8 hours • Conventional : extract and look at weight • Problem : active compounds (mainly PAHs) are on the surface of the particle. • Analyse the composition of the particles.
Conventional approach GCMS : problem – expensive for routine monitoring Alternative : uv/vis (EAS) of mixtures. Calibrate to GCMS Validation to models. Can a suitably wide range of industries be spanned?
REACTION MONITORING • What do we want to know? • End-points. • When the product is at a maximum. • Spectra of unknown degradation products. • Exact kinetics. • Deviation from ideal behaviour. • Concentration profiles.
What do we know? • Spectra of all or some of the compounds. • Initial concentrations of all or some of the compounds. • Expected kinetics.
Off-line methods. FIA and uv/vis. Compare to HPLC.
