Troubleshooting of High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
Troubleshooting of High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
There are many test instruments used in the laboratory, and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is one of them. The instrument is based on classical chromatography, citing the theory of gas chromatography, and technically it changes the traditional mobile phase to high-pressure delivery. This article will give you the brief introduction of the chromatography, characteristics, failure causes, and treatment methods of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
Introduction of High-performance Liquid Chromatography
High performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) is an instrument based on the principle of high performance liquid chromatography, which is mainly used to analyze less-volatile and thermal-unstable organic compounds with high boiling point and large molecular weight. It consists of solvent bottles, pump, sample injector, chromatographic column, detector, recorder and workstation.
How does high performance liquid chromatography work?
The mobile phase in the reservoir is pumped into the system by a high-pressure pump, and the sample solution passes through a sample injector then enters the mobile phase, which loads the sample solution into a chromatographic column (stationary phase). Because the various components in the sample solution have different distribution coefficients in the two phases, when they are moving relatively in the two phases, after repeated adsorption-desorption distribution processes, the moving speed of each component is greatly different, and the components are separated into single components flowing out of the column in turn. When passing through the detector, the sample concentration is converted into electrical signal and transmitted to the recorder, and the data is printed out in the form of chromatogram.
Applications of High-Performance Liquid Chromatography
HPLC is widely used in food, pharmaceutical, environment, agriculture and scientific research
1. Application in environmental analysis:
It can be used for the analysis of cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pesticide residues, etc.
2. Application in food analysis:
It can be used for food nutrition analysis, food additive analysis, food contaminant analysis, etc.
3. Application in life science:
Purification, separation, and determination of molecular weight substances in life science, genetic engineering, clinical chemistry, molecular biology, and biochemistry can be studied at the molecular level.
4. Application in the medical examination: analysis and determination of metabolites in body fluids, pharmacokinetics, clinical drug monitoring, etc.
5. Application in inorganic analysis: analysis of anions and cations, etc.

1.3.1 Pre-processing of Lead and Cadmium Samples
Take 0.2g of sample (accurate to 0.1mg) into a 50ml PTFE crucible. After wetting with water, 5ml of hydrochloric acid was added and the sample was heated on a hot plate in a fume hood at about 120 ℃ to initially disintegrate the sample, and then removed and cooled slightly after evaporation until about 3m remained. Add 8ml of nitric acid, 8ml of hydrofluoric acid and 4ml of perchloric acid, cover and heat at about 160 ℃ on a hot plate for 3h. Open the lid, the electric heating plate temperature control at 180 ℃ to continue heating, and often shake the crucible. When heated to a thick white smoke, cover to fully decompose the black organic carbons. After the black organic matter on the crucible wall disappears, open the lid, drive away the white smoke and steam until the contents are viscous. Take down the crucible, slightly cold, add 0.2mL nitric acid to dissolve the soluble residue, after cooling, transfer the whole amount to 50ml volumetric flask, rinse the crucible lid and inner wall with appropriate amount of experimental water, the washing solution was incorporated into 50ml volumetric flask, and the fix the volume with experimental water, shaken well, and then left to be measure. If there are undissolved particles in the digested solution, filtering and centrifugation or natural precipitation are required. (Note: Do not allow a lot of bubbles to come out when heating, otherwise it will cause loss of the sample.)
1.3.2 Pre-processing of Chromium Sample
Take 0.2g (accurate to 0.0001g) of sample into a 50ml PTFE crucible. After wetting with water, 10ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid was added and the sample was heated on a hot plate in a fume hood at 50°C to initially decompose the sample. When evaporated to about 3ml, add 5ml of concentrated nitric acid, 5ml of hydrofluoric acid, cover and heat on the hot plate at about 120~130 ℃ for 0.5~1h, then open the lid, drive away the white smoke and steam until the contents are in the form of liquid beads in a non-flowing state (observe while hot). Depending on the condition of digestion, add 3ml of concentrated nitric acid, 3ml of hydrofluoric acid, 1ml of hydrogen peroxide, and repeat the above digestion process. Take down the crucible, slightly cold, add 0.2mL nitric acid to dissolve the soluble residue, transfer all the test solutions to a 50ml volumetric flask, add 5ml of 110% ammonium chloride solution, and fix the volume with experimental water, left to be measured. (Note: the total amount of 30% hydrogen peroxide added shall not exceed 10ml.)

1.3.1 Pre-processing of Lead and Cadmium Samples
Take 0.2g of sample (accurate to 0.1mg) into a 50ml PTFE crucible. After wetting with water, 5ml of hydrochloric acid was added and the sample was heated on a hot plate in a fume hood at about 120 ℃ to initially disintegrate the sample, and then removed and cooled slightly after evaporation until about 3m remained. Add 8ml of nitric acid, 8ml of hydrofluoric acid and 4ml of perchloric acid, cover and heat at about 160 ℃ on a hot plate for 3h. Open the lid, the electric heating plate temperature control at 180 ℃ to continue heating, and often shake the crucible. When heated to a thick white smoke, cover to fully decompose the black organic carbons. After the black organic matter on the crucible wall disappears, open the lid, drive away the white smoke and steam until the contents are viscous. Take down the crucible, slightly cold, add 0.2mL nitric acid to dissolve the soluble residue, after cooling, transfer the whole amount to 50ml volumetric flask, rinse the crucible lid and inner wall with appropriate amount of experimental water, the washing solution was incorporated into 50ml volumetric flask, and the fix the volume with experimental water, shaken well, and then left to be measure. If there are undissolved particles in the digested solution, filtering and centrifugation or natural precipitation are required. (Note: Do not allow a lot of bubbles to come out when heating, otherwise it will cause loss of the sample.)
1.3.2 Pre-processing of Chromium Sample
Take 0.2g (accurate to 0.0001g) of sample into a 50ml PTFE crucible. After wetting with water, 10ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid was added and the sample was heated on a hot plate in a fume hood at 50°C to initially decompose the sample. When evaporated to about 3ml, add 5ml of concentrated nitric acid, 5ml of hydrofluoric acid, cover and heat on the hot plate at about 120~130 ℃ for 0.5~1h, then open the lid, drive away the white smoke and steam until the contents are in the form of liquid beads in a non-flowing state (observe while hot). Depending on the condition of digestion, add 3ml of concentrated nitric acid, 3ml of hydrofluoric acid, 1ml of hydrogen peroxide, and repeat the above digestion process. Take down the crucible, slightly cold, add 0.2mL nitric acid to dissolve the soluble residue, transfer all the test solutions to a 50ml volumetric flask, add 5ml of 110% ammonium chloride solution, and fix the volume with experimental water, left to be measured.
