LCGC Europe
This information is supplementary to the article “A Practical Approach to Modelling of Reversed-Phase Liquid Chromatographic Separations: Advantages, Principles, and Possible Pitfalls” that was published in the March 2018 LCGC Europe issue.
Flow diagram for modelling based on the manual approach
Optional determination of Vm Vd, ECBB and confirm linearity of gradient profile
âº
Select appropriate samples (that is, forced degradation, mother liquors etc.)
âº
Select suitable retention model (for example, log(k )= q1 + q2 F + q3 F2.)
âº
Select appropriate input experiments (tG, T etc.)
âº
Write methods and sequence (allowing sufficient time to equilibrate the new conditions)
âº
Collect input data for fitting and evaluation of models (typically performed overnight)
âº
Perform peak assignment / tracking (using MS, UV DAD, or peak areas), determine peak area, width, and asymmetry
âº
Produce Excel tables for each input experiment, copy, and paste into retention software input section
âº
Enter chromatographic conditions used
âº
Combine each individual input run into one large combined table
âº
Transfer input data to modelling software and fit models
âº
Evaluate resolution as a function of the operating variable examined (that is, gradient shape and T)
âº
Establish operational parameters fit for purpose (that is, identify robust conditions)
âº
Collection of data for confirmation of optimal conditions
âº
Optional in silico evaluation of other column formats, particle size, and flow
AI-Powered Precision for Functional Component Testing in Tea Analysis
October 11th 2024Analyzing functional foods reveals numerous health benefits. These foods are rich in bioactive compounds that go beyond basic nutrition, boosting the immune system and improving overall wellness. However, analyzing these compounds can be challenging. This article discusses AI algorithms to support automated method development for liquid chromatography, simplifying the process, enhancing labor efficiency, and ensuring precise results, making it accessible to non-experts for tea analysis.
Characterizing Cooked Cheese Flavor with Gas Chromatography
October 11th 2024A joint study by the Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences at the University of Reading and Synergy Flavours aimed to identify volatiles that contribute to the aroma of cooked cheese, including the role of fat content in development during cooking.
