1. CHROMATOG
RAPHY

2. CHROMATOGRAPHY
 A laboratory technique that separates
components within a mixture by using the
differential affinities of the components
for a mobile medium and for a stationary
adsorbing medium through which they
pass.

3. CHROMATOGRAPHY
 Introduced first by the Russian botanist
Mikhail Semenovich Tswett.
 Mixtures of solutes dissolved in a common
solvent are separated from one another by
a differential distribution of the solutes
between two phases.

4. CHROMATOGRAPHY
Two phases in chromatography are:
 mobile phase is part of the chromatographic
system which carries the solutes through the
stationary phase.
 stationary phase is the part which the mobile
phase flows where the distribution of the
solutes between the phases occurs.

5. PRINCIPLE
 Fractionalism of mixtures of
substances
 In the operation of the
chromatogram, a mobile gaseous or
liquid phase is use to wash the
substances to be separated through a
column of a porous material.

6. PRINCIPLE
 Capillary Action – the movement of
liquid within the spaces of a material
due to the forces of adhesion,
cohesion, and surface tension.

7. PRINCIPLE
 The rate of migration of the solute
depends upon the rate of interaction
of the solute with the two phases, one
being the mobile phases and the
other stationary phase as the
compounds travel through the
supporting medium.

8. PRINCIPLE
 The rate of migration of the solute
depends upon the rate of interaction
of the solute with the two phases, one
being the mobile phases and the
other stationary phase as the
compounds travel through the
supporting medium.

9. MECHANISMS OF SEPARATION
IN CHROMATOGRAPHY
• Based on the interactions of solutes with
mobile and stationary phases.

10. ADSORPTION (LIQUID-SOLID)
CHROMATOGRAPHY
 Based on the competition
between the sample and the
mobile phase for binding
sites of the solid (stationary)
phase. Molecules that are
soluble in the mobile phase
move fastest.

11. ADSORPTION (LIQUID-SOLID)
CHROMATOGRAPHY
Advantages
 An extensive separation
literature is available on thin
layer chromatography
methods that are readily
transferable to adsorption
 The flexibility, speed, and low
cost of TLC allow its use in
experimental development.

12. ADSORPTION (LIQUID-SOLID)
CHROMATOGRAPHY
Advantages
 TLC has great value for use in
the preliminary investigation
of samples of unknown
constituents
 Adsorption chromatography,
particularly with silica gel, has
been widely used for the
separation of drugs in both the
HPLC and TLC modes.

13. PARTITION (LIQUID-LIQUID)
CHROMATOGRAPHY
 separates molecules on
the basis of sample
volatility.
 Depends on the solubility
of the solute in nonpolar
(organic) or polar
(aqueous) solvents

14. PARTITION (LIQUID-LIQUID)
CHROMATOGRAPHY
 Advantage: the
stationary phase does not
leave the solid support
and bleed into the
detector, and a uniform
monomolecular layer of
the stationary phase is
obtained through the
bonding procedure.

15. PARTITION (LIQUID-LIQUID)
CHROMATOGRAPHY
 Since the chemical
influence of the solid
support may be largely
ignored, the adhering
film behaves essentially
like a liquid stationary
phase.

16. ION-EXCHANGE CHROMATOGRAPHY
∞ Based on the net charge
of molecules
∞ It is one of the common
types of separation
mechanism which
depends on the nature of
the stationary phase.
∞ It has 2 prinicipal types
of ion- exchanger is
cationic and anionic.

17. ION-EXCHANGE CHROMATOGRAPHY
∞ Ion exchange matrices
can be further
categorized as either
strong or weak.
∞ It separates amino acid
by electric charges based
on their respective
changes

18. ION-EXCHANGE CHROMATOGRAPHY
∞ Usually performed in
columns
∞ Uses a charged
stationary phase to
separate charged
compounds including
anions, cations, amino
acids, peptides and
proteins.

19. ION-EXCHANGE CHROMATOGRAPHY
∞ PRINCIPLE:
∞ Relies on charge
to charge
interactions
between proteins
in the sample and
the charges
immobilized on
the resin.

20. ION-EXCHANGE CHROMATOGRAPHY
∞ PRINCIPLE:
∞ Once the solutes are bound, the
column is washed to equilibrate it in
the starting buffer,which should be of
low ionic strength
∞ Then the bound molecules are eluted
off using a gradient be of low ionic
strength

21. ION-EXCHANGE CHROMATOGRAPHY
∞ TWO PRINCIPAL
TYPES:
∞ Anion exchange
∞ Cation exchange

22. ION-EXCHANGE CHROMATOGRAPHY
Factors to be considered in Ion Exchange
Chromatography:
⓭ Buffers – use anionic buffers for cation exchange
and cationic buffers for anion exchange to avoid
difficulty.
⓭ pH- influence the charge on the macromoloecules
in solution.

23. ION-EXCHANGE CHROMATOGRAPHY
Factors to be considered in Ion Exchange
Chromatography:
⓭ Salts to use for elution
Ions of the eluting salt must displace other
molecules from the charged groups on the stationary
phase with either a gradient or step in the 0 to 1.0
range.

24. ION-EXCHANGE CHROMATOGRAPHY

25. ION-EXCHANGE CHROMATOGRAPHY
Most molecules have a net
charge within a pH range of 2 to
10. When the pH is altered, the
net charge on molecules can
change drastically.
In this experiment, a mixture of two
chemicals is absorbed onto a solid
support ion-exchange column and
separated during elution under
conditions that influence their net
charge.

44. INSTRUMENTATION

45. By Physical State of Mobile Phase
Gas Chromatography
• It can separate nanograms or pictograms of
volatile substances.
• It is principally a method for the separation
and quantitative determination of gases and
volatile liquids and substances.

46. Gas Chromatography
 Volatile compounds can be separated in a
gas chromatograph, in which the mobile
phase is usually a relatively unreactive
carrier gas such as helium, nitrogen or
hydrogen.
 Separations can be carried out in the vapor
phase, most parts of a gas chromatograph
are temperature controlled; selection of
temperature is based on the composition of
the sample.

47. Gas Chromatography
 It uses a special detector according to
the different kinds of compound and
the most widely used are:
A. Mass spectrophotometer
B. Thermal Conductivity
C. Flame Ionization Detector
D. Electron Capture Detector

48. GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY
Applications:
 Most effectively used for analyses of organic
compounds, space related, complex mixtures
of volatile substances at column temperature
of less than -40 °C to greater than 550° C.
 Geochemical research projects such as
determination of various environmental
pollutants at extremely low concentrations.

49. GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY
ADVANTAGES: DISADVANTAGES:
 Ability to provide  LIMITED to volatile
qualitative information and samples
quantitative information  Not suitable for
thermally labile samples
 FAST ANALYSIS

 Nondestructive spectroscopy for
confirmation of peak

 Inexpensive

51. COMPONENTS
 Autosampler- provides the means to introduce a
sample automatically into the inlets. Automatic
insertion provides better reproducibility and time-
optimization.
 Column inlet (or injector)- provides the means to
introduce a sample into a continuous flow of
carrier gas. The inlet is a piece of hardware
attached to the column head.

52. COMPONENTS
 Carrier Gas (mobile phase) - must be
chemically inert, include helium, hydrogen
and nitrogen. It should be of high purity, and
the flow must be tightly controlled to ensure
optimum column efficiency and
reproducibility of test results.

56. LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY
 The mobile phase is percolated through the
column by means of either gravity , under
pressure generated by a suitable pump or
centrifugal force.

57. SIZE EXCLUSION CHROMATOGRAPHY
 Particles of different size
will elute (filter) through
a stationary phase at
different rates. This
results in the separation
of a solution of particles
based on size. Provided,
that all the particles are
loaded simultaneously or
near – simultaneously of
the same size should
elute together.

58. SIZE EXCLUSION CHROMATOGRAPHY
 The support material has certain range of
pore sizes. As solutes travel through, the
small molecules can enter the pores, whereas
the larger ones cannot and will elute first
from column.
 The determination of molecular weight, e.g. ,
of enzymes, and estimation of equilibrium
constants can be achieved with relative ease
