Title: Retention reproducibility of basic drugs in high-performance liquid chromatography on a silica column with a methanol-high-pH buffer eluent. Changes in selectivity with the age of the stationary phase. Author: Smith RM, Westlake JP, Gill R, Osselton MD. Journal: J Chromatogr; 1992 Feb 21; 592(1-2):85-92. PubMed ID: 1316363. Abstract: The long-term reproducibility of the separation of basic drugs by high-performance liquid chromatography using a silica column with a methanol-high-pH eluent was examined. The relative capacity factors of specific tertiary amines changed systematically compared with the other drugs on storage of the columns for 1 year. The changes were enhanced on storing the column in mobile phase and were accelerated by prolonged washing with water. A comparison of freshly packed columns suggested that similar changes also occurred with the dry silica on storage. These effects may be a contributor to previously observed batch-to-batch differences in the silica.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
