The use of Stationary-phase Optimized Selectivity in Liquid Chromatography (SOS-LC) was shown successful for HPLC to analyze complex mixtures using a Phase OPtimized Liquid Chromatography (POPLC) kit. This commercial kit contains five stationary-phase types of varying lengths, which can be coupled to offer an improved separation of compounds. Recently, Stationary-Phase Optimized Selectivity Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SOS-SFC) has been introduced, transferring the methodology to SFC. In this study, the applicability of a customized POPLC expert kit for isocratic SFC runs was explored. Five stationary-phase chemistries were selected as potentially most suitable for achiral separations of polar compounds: aminopropyl (amino), cyanopropyl (CN), diol, ethylpyridine (EP) and silica. The retention factors (k) on the individual stationary phases were used for the prediction of the best stationary-phase combination, based on the POPLC algorithm (via the included software).As an alternative, the best column combination was predicted using multiple linear regression (MLR) models on the results obtained from a simplex centroid mixture design with only three stationary-phase types (Amino, Silica and EP). A third approach applied the isocratic POPLC algorithm on the same three stationary-phase data. The proposed combinations were assembled and tested. The predicted and experimental retention factors were compared. The predictions based on the POPLC algorithm provided a stationary phase showing a complete separation of the mixture. The stationary phase suggested by the MLR-models on the other hand, showed co-elution of two compounds, due to an unexpected experimental retention shift. Overall, the customized POPLC kit showed good potential to be applied in SFC.
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.
