H P L C high pressure liquid chromatography Analyzing Vitamins B1 and B2 Using Ion Pairing Travis Crisp and Joanna Magner Mentor: Dr. Christine Pastorek
E q u i p m e n tand chemicals • HPLC(High Pressure Liquid Chromatography): C18 column Settings: 280nm, 2.5mL/min (4000psi), isocratic conditions (10 MeOH : 90 aq) • Balances • Glassware: beakers, volumetric flasks, graduated cylinders, etc. • Chemicals:Methanol (MeOH), deionized and milli-pore H2O, Thiamine (Vitamin B1), Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Acetic Acid, NaOSA, Mobile Phase
P r o c e d u r e • Determine best wave length to run lamp • Create mobile phase(s) and sample solution(s) • Run pump and inject sample • Allow solution to flow through system completely • Analyze results
P r o b l e m s E n c o u n t e r e d • Inconsistent labeling of mobile phase • Column problems (polarity, “clogs”) • Air bubbles in tubing • B1 disappearing in later tests • Over pressurization of pump • Estimations and assumptions in sample preparation
Results • B1 was more polar compared to B2 • Mobile phase content changed run time • Air bubbles cause difficulties • Composition of the column changes over time • B2, in real samples, was detected
