AbstraktWir präsentieren die weltweit erste Auswertung einer zweidimensional entwickelten HPTLC-Platte (2D-HPTLC) mit Hilfe eines Diodenarray-Scanners. Das System erreicht eine räumliche Plattenauflösung von 250 µm. Es können Absorptions-und Fluoreszenzspektren im Wellenlängenbereich von 190 bis 1000 nm mit einer spektralen Auflösung von besser als 1 nm gemessen werden. Eine Trennzahl von 259 wurde erreicht. Damit zeigt die Methode bessere Trenneigenschaften als die meisten HPLC-Systeme. Der Nachteil der 2D-Auswertung ist der hohe Zeitbedarf von über 3 Stunden für eine Plattenmessung.
& We present a two dimensional (2D) planar chromatographic separation of ethinyl steroids on cyanopropyl phase. A mixture of nine steroids was separated by using a cyanopropyl-coated silica gel plate (Merck, 1.16464) with the solvent mix of dichloromethane, methanol, cyclohexane (95 þ 5 þ 60, v=v) in the first direction and with a mixture of water, acetonitrile, ethanol, dioxane, and NH 3 (25%) (8 þ 2 þ 1 þ 1 þ 0.05, v=v) in the second direction. Both developments were carried out over a distance of 70 mm. The steroids were catalytically transformed into fluorescent compounds that can be sensitively detected. The fluorescence was measured by a simple 8-bit CCD-camera. The range of linearity covers two magnitudes of power using the extended Kubelka-Munk expression for data transformation. This separation method is inexpensive, fast, and reliable and can be used to quantify 17a-ethinylestradiol (EE2) in the effluents of waste water treatment plants at an LOD of 2 ng per spot. Using a solid phase extraction pretreatment procedure achieves an LOD of 2 ng L À1 water.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
