  • Title: Non-ideal behaviour of silica-based stationary phases in trifluoroacetic acid-acetonitrile-based reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic separations of insulins and proinsulins.
    Author: Linde S, Welinder BS.
    Journal: J Chromatogr; 1991 Jan 04; 536(1-2):43-55. PubMed ID: 1646830.
    Abstract:
    Several C18 stationary phases were found to behave non-ideally when insulins and proinsulins were eluted with shallow acetonitrile gradients in 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid, resulting in poor peak shapes or no elution at all. With triethylammonium phosphate or ammonium sulphate as buffer components, the insulins and proinsulins were eluted with excellent peak shapes, presumably owing to better masking of residual silanol groups on the stationary phases. Similar use of trifluoroacetic acid-acetonitrile gradients on the less hydrophobic C4 or C3 stationary phases resulted in excellent peak shapes. The difficult separation of rat proinsulin I and II, which are important for the study of rat insulin biosynthesis, was only achieved with two different stationary-mobile phase combinations.
