Comparison of Selectivity Differences Among Different Agilent ZORBAX Phenyl Columns using Acetonitrile or Methanol
نویسنده
چکیده
Alkyl, most commonly C18, columns are used in reversed-phase HPLC method development. Occasionally additional bonded phases are tested in attempt to optimize the separation. Phenyl bonded phases are an excellent choice to consider when a C18 does not achieve separation. In this work, the unique selectivity of three Agilent ZORBAX phenyl phases is shown and compared against a ZORBAX C18. The phenyl columns are run in a methanol mobile phase, as well as acetonitrile. Scatter plots comparing the organic solvents, show increased slopes and stronger correlation with acetonitrile due to the suppression of π-π interactions that are present with methanol. While these π-π interactions are not solely responsible for retention on phenyl columns in methanol, they could provide a slight enhancement to complicated separations of closely related compounds.

Analysis of Polar Compounds Using 100% Aqueous Mobile Phases with Agilent ZORBAX Eclipse Plus Phenyl-Hexyl and Other ZORBAX Phenyl Columns
The analysis of polar compounds, such as acids and bases, typically requires ion pairing reagents or Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HILIC) columns in HPLC. In this work, the utility of phenyl columns is demonstrated using 100% aqueous mobile phase, without the inconvenience of phase collapse. Selectivity of different Agilent ZORBAX phenyl phases (StableBond SB-Phenyl, Eclipse XDB-Pheny...

A new ZORBAX stationary phase, Agilent ZORBAX Eclipse Plus Phenyl-Hexyl, separated five estrogen type steroids better than a C18 and better than three other phenyl columns under identical conditions, due to its unique selectivity for analytes containing phenyl groups. The comparisons support selectivity as the most important factor to optimize resolution, to separate peaks completely. Selectivi...

Robust HPLC methods are developed systematically by manipulating three key factors controlling resolution: selectivity, efficiency, and retention. Agilent RapidResolution High-Throughput (RRHT) columns significantly reduce method development time because they offer 1) smaller particles packed in shorter columns, 2) a variety of bonded phases on ZORBAX 1.8 μm packing, and 3) a variety of phases ...
