Steriods Mixture (4) - Cogent UDC-Cholesterol
Discussion of Chromatograms Polarity and shape recognition retention-time profiles were compared to assess the likely impact of varying the ACN and MeOH ratios. Organic solvent mix percentage and temperature dependence were studied. Temperature changes above 15°C had little effect on the polarity-based, reverse-phase selectivity (ACN) and negative effects on shape selectivity (MeOH). As a result 15°C was used. Initially, 75 x 4.6mm columns were used at 2.0-3.0 ml/min to reduce column equilibration time and to speed method development. Flow rates of 1.0 ml/min were used only on promising mixes for final optimizations. The chromatograms show that relative retention times can vary when the ratios of the selectivity mechanisms (ACN and MeOH) are manipulated. Implications, Advantages & Uses Using the 75 x 4.6 mm UDC-Cholesterol column rapidly achieved a partial resolution of all standards. Scaling up to 250 x 4.6 mm allowed baseline resolution of all components. This method rapidly achieved results in a fraction of the time it would have taken if only using the larger size columns. The different orthogonal selectivities of the UDC-Cholesterol column can be utilized to achieve unique solutions to difficult analytical problems.
