  • Title: Expressions of the fundamental equation of gradient elution and a numerical solution of these equations under any gradient profile.
    Author: Nikitas P, Pappa-Louisi A.
    Journal: Anal Chem; 2005 Sep 01; 77(17):5670-7. PubMed ID: 16131080.
    Abstract:
    The original work carried out by Freiling and Drake in gradient liquid chromatography is rewritten in the current language of reversed-phase liquid chromatography. This allows for the rigorous derivation of the fundamental equation for gradient elution and the development of two alternative expressions of this equation, one of which is free from the constraint that the holdup time must be constant. In addition, the above derivation results in a very simple numerical solution of the various equations of gradient elution under any gradient profile. The theory was tested using eight catechol-related solutes in mobile phases modified with methanol, acetonitrile, or 2-propanol. It was found to be a satisfactory prediction of solute gradient retention behavior even if we used a simple linear description for the isocratic elution of these solutes.
