ALEXYS™ - HPLC/ECD • Applications • Neuroscience • Pharma • Clinical analysis • Food & Beverages • Environmental
Why ECD? • extremely sensitive • highly selective
Principle of HPLC/ECD • electrochemical reaction detector • potential (E) is driving force
Electrochemical reaction ΔE diffusion electron transfer reaction
100 80 60 Signal (%) 40 20 0 0 400 800 1200 1600 E (mV) Role of electrode potential E • Facilitates the EC reaction oxidation occurs no reaction A B
Working range potential E • E working range determined by mobile phase
Peak height vs. concentration • UV Beer’s law E = d C • ECD Cottrell equation ilim= 1.47 n F (Fm )1/3 (DA/b)2/3 C A= WE area A b = spacer thickness C = concentration ilim= diffusion limited current measured (peak height) peak height (E) vs concentration (C) peak height (Ilim) vs concentration (C)
Peak height vs. concentration • UV Beer’s law E = d C • ECD Cottrell equation ilim= f (A/b)2/3 C A= WE area A b = spacer thickness C = concentration ilim= peak height as simple as abc…
