Pressure–Enhanced Liquid Chromatography as a Suitable Approach to Improve Selectivity for Large Molecule Separations

Pressure-enhanced liquid chromatography (PE-LC) offers a new approach for improving selectivity for large molecule separations. Examples shown here include short oligonucleotides in ion-pairing reversed-phase (IP-RP) liquid chromatography and larger nucleic acids in ion-exchange (IEX) chromatography.

Analytical Advantages of Highly Stable Stationary Phases for Reversed-Phase LC

During the past five years, many manufacturers of HPLC columns have focused on improving stationary phase stability and reproducibility. In this study, the authors use a variety of test solutes to compare the efficiency, selectivity, and hydrophobic retention mechanisms of five commercially available HPLC columns based silica, alumina, zirconia, and polystyrene cross-linked with divinylbenzene as the support.
