4. Ion-exchange chromatography
The
solution to be injected is usually called a
sample, and the individually separated
components are called analytes
It
can be used for almost any kind of charged
molecule including large proteins, small
nucleotides and amino acids.
It
is often used in protein purification, water
analysis.

6. Flow
rates should be controlled due to
the difference in rate of exchange
Flow rate -0.5 to 5ml/minutes
Capacity of ion exchange depends on the
no. of sites available
Cation resins(strong acid) are stable at
150degress & anions at 70
G.SHRAVANI

7. Principle
Ion exchange chromatography retains analyte
molecules based on ionic interactions.
The stationary phase surface displays ionic
functional groups (R-X) that interact with
analyte ions of opposite charge.
This type of chromatography is further
subdivided into:
cation exchange chromatography
anion exchange chromatography.

Cation
exchange chromatography retains
positively charged cations because the
stationary phase displays a negatively
charged functional group

12. Procedure
1.
A sample is introduced, either manually or with
an autosampler, into a sample loop of known
volume.
2.
The mobile phase (buffered aqueous solution)
carries the sample from the loop onto a column
that contains some form of stationary phase
material.
3.
Stationary phase material is a resin or gel
matrix consisting of agarose or cellulose beads
with covalently bonded charged functional groups.
G.SHRAVANI
12
13. Procedure
4.
The target analytes (anions or cations) are
retained on the stationary phase but can be
eluted by increasing the concentration of a
similarly charged species that will displace the
analyte ions from the stationary phase.
For example, in cation exchange
chromatography, the positively charged
analyte could be displaced by the
addition of positively charged sodium
ions.
G.SHRAVANI

14. Procedure
5.
The analytes of interest must then be
detected by some means, typically by
conductivity
or
UV/Visible
light
absorbance.
6.
A chromatography data system
(CDS) is usually needed to control an
IC.

16. Separating proteins
Proteins
have numerous functional groups
that can have both positive and negative
charges.
Ion
exchange chromatography separates
proteins according to their net charge, which
is dependent on the composition of the
mobile phase.
G.SHRAVANI
16
17. Affect of pH in the separation of
proteins
By
adjusting the pH or the ionic
concentration of the mobile phase,
various protein molecules can be
separated.
For
example, if a protein has a net
positive charge at pH 7, then it will bind
to a column of negatively-charged beads,
whereas a negatively charged protein
would not.
G.SHRAVANI
17
18. Effect of pH in the separation of
proteins
Proteins
are charged molecules. At
specific pH, it can exist in anionic (-),
cationic (+) or zwitterion (no net
charge) stage.

19. Choosing your ion-exchanger: know
your proteins
1.
Stability of proteins
stable below pI value, use cation-exchanger
stable above pI value, use anion-exchanger
2.
Molecular size of proteins
<10,000 mw, use matrix of small pore size
10,000-100,000 mw, use Sepharose equivalent grade
G.SHRAVANI
19
20. Important
to consider the stability of proteins in
choice of ion exchangers. Isoelectric focusing can be
used to identify suitable ion-exchanger type
G.SHRAVANI

23. DEFINATION
Gel
chromatography is a technique in which
fractionation is based upon the molecular size
& shape of the species in the sample.
Gel chromatography is also called as gel
permeation or exclusion or molecular sieve
chromatography.
G.SHRAVANI
23
24. TECHNIQUES IN GEL
CHROMATOGRAPHY
Gel
chromatography is performed on a
column by the elution method. The degree
of retardation, depends upon the extent to
which the solute molecules or ions can
penetrate that part of the solution phase
which is held within the pores or the highly
porous gel like packing material.
A series of resins with different pore sizes
can be obtained by changing the amount of
Epichlorohydrin.The resulting gel is called as
SEPHADEX.
G.SHRAVANI
24
25. In
gel chromatography the granulated or beded
gel material is called as packing material.
The solutes which are distributed through the
entire gel phase is called as stationary phase
and the liquid flowing through the bed is called as
mobile phase.
The cross linked dextran (sephadex) & xerogels
of the polyacrylamide (Bio-gel) originally used as
stationary phases in gel permeation
chromatography are semi rigid gels.
G.SHRAVANI
25
26. These
are unable to withstand the highpressure used in HPLC.
Hence modern stationary phases consist
of micro particles of stryene-divinyl
benzene copolymers (ultrastyragel)
silica or porous glass.
G.SHRAVANI
26
27. GEL PERMEATION
CHROMATOGRAPHY
A
chromatographic method in which particles are
separated based on their size, or in more technical
terms, their hydrodynamic volume.
Organic solvent as the mobile phase.
The stationary phase consists of beads of porous
polymeric material.
G.SHRAVANI
27
28. OBJECTIVE
Analysis
of synthetic and biologic polymers
Purification of polymers
Polymer characterization
Study properties like:
Molecular weight
Polydispersity Index
Viscosity
Conformation
Folding
G.SHRAVANI

31. PRINCIPLE
Different
sizes will elute (filter) through at
different rates.
Column
1. Consists of a hollow tube tightly packed with
extremely small porous polymer beads designed
to have pores of different sizes.
2. Pores may be depressions on the surface or
channels through the bead.
3. Smaller particles enter into the pores, larger
particles don't.
G.SHRAVANI
31
32. The
larger the particles, the less overall
volume to transverse over the length of
the column
G.SHRAVANI
32
33. FEATURES
Solvent
1. Should be kept dry
2. Should be degassed in some applications
3. The samples should be made from the same
solvent
4. For GPC/light scattering the solvent should
be filtered before it ever hits the pump
5. Common solvents for tetrahydrofuran
(THF) & toluene.

40. Conventional GPC
Analysis
Molecules separated according to their
hydrodynamic volume.
• Molecular weights (MW) and molecular
weight distribution can be determined from
the Measured retention volume (RV)
• A calibration curve (log MW against RV),
using known standards
RI signal = KRI . dn /dc . C
•
G.SHRAVANI
40
41. KRI = apparatus-specific sensitivity constant
dn /dc = the refractive index increment
C = concentration.
Limitation
Their signals depend solely on concentration,
not on molecular weight or polymer size.
Not very reliable
G.SHRAVANI
41
42. Molecular Mass Sensitive Detectors
Detectors
sensitive to molecular weight used to
overcome limitations of Conventional GPC
E.g., light scattering and viscosity detectors
Advantages over Conventional GPC
I. True molecular weight distributions can be
obtained
II. Structural information
III.Size distribution
molecular weight can be directly determined
without a calibration curve
G.SHRAVANI

43. Characterization
Light
Scattering
LS signal = KLS . (dn/dc)2 . MW .
KLS = sensitivity constant
dn/dc = refractive index increment
MW = molecular weight
C = concentration
dn/dc
depends on the Polymer Solvent
combination and if it is low, then proper
analysis cannot be done.
G.SHRAVANI
43
46. Advantages
Can
be used to find shape also
Rapid, routine analysis
Identify high mass components even in
low concentration
Can analyze polydisperse samples
Branching studies can be done
Absolute molecular weights can be
obtained
G.SHRAVANI

47. Drawbacks
There
is a size window
Bad response for very small molecular
weights
Standards are needed.
Sensitive for flow rate variation. Internal
standard should be used whenever possible.
High Investment cost
