Chiral seperation also called chiral resolution,is a procedure used to seperate the two isomers of a racemic compound. Many Chiral stationary phases(CSP’S) have been manufactured for the seperation of enantiomers.Among them Chiral-AGP is the protein based chiral column . α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) is a very stable protein, which tolerates pure organic solvents,high temperatures and high and low...

The study of optically active polymers is a very active research field, and these materials have exhibited a number of interesting properties. Much of the attention in chiral polymers results from the potential of these materials for several specialized utilizations that are chiral matrices for asymmetric synthesis, chiral stationary phases for the separation of racemic mixtures, synthetic mole...

REVIEWS This review covers developments and applications in chiral separations from January 2000 to March 2002. This review is not intended to be a comprehensive review of all papers published, but focuses on major developments in the field of chiral separations as well as representative applications. The review is restricted to the English language literature except as noted for several specif...

Chromatographic separation of several sets of aromatic position isomers on three cellulose- and one amylose-based chiral stationary phases was performed to evaluate the potential of a polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phase (CSP) in the separation of isomeric or closely similar molecules, and to understand the interaction mechanism of this type of CSP with analytes. Their ability of molecu...

We show that plane parabolic flow in a microfluidic channel causes nonmotile, helically shaped bacteria to drift perpendicular to the shear plane. Net drift results from the preferential alignment of helices with streamlines, with a direction that depends on the chirality of the helix and the sign of the shear rate. The drift is in good agreement with a model based on resistive force theory, an...

Propiconazole is a chiral fungicide used in agriculture for control of many fungal diseases on a variety of crops. This use provides opportunities for pollution of soil and, subsequently, groundwater. The rate of loss of propiconazole from the water phase of two different soil-water slurries spiked with the fungicide at 50 mg/L was followed under aerobic conditions over five months; the t(1/2) ...

This paper presents a review of the literature concerning development of the stationary phases for thin-layer chromatography (TLC) in the last ten years. The silica gel remains the most important adsorbent for TLC separation. The kinetic properties of the silica-gel thin layer and the new TLC plates have been presented. Other materials used as stationary phase were alumina, zirconium oxide, Flo...

A method utilizing bovine serum albumin (BSA) as buffer additive for chiral separation by means of capillary electrophoresis is described. Parameters that affect chiral separation, such as buffer pH, buffer concentration, BSA concentration, and organic modifier, are investigated. Baseline resolution of ephedrine-pseudoephedrine and norephedrine-norpseudoephedrine isomers are achieved in an unco...

A simple, sensitive and selective method of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been successfully developed for separation of bavachinin enantiomers in Fructus Psoraleae and rat plasma. The separation and detection conditions of HPLC were optimized. Chiral bavachinin were separated with the mobile phase of methanol and water (70:30, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The linear ra...

In this work, investigation of the comparative influence of diverse ionic liquids (ILs) as electrolyte additives on the chiral separation of dansylated amino acids by using Zn(II)-L-arginine complex mediated chiral ligand exchange CE (CLE-CE) was conducted. It has been found that not only the varied substituted group number, but also the alkyl chain length of the substituted group on imidazole ...
