ANALYTICAL SEPARATION METHOD
EXPERIMENT 2:
HIGH PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY (HPLC):
METHOD DEVELOPMENT
OBJECTIVE
To optimize a separation of a mixture of 5 compounds using
HPLC by verifying the mobile phase composition.
INTRODUCTION
High Performance Liquid Chromatography is a type of
separation analysis that uses liquid mobile phase and liquid stationary phase.
The separation occurs based on the differences in the polarity of the analytes.
The analytes that interacts most in the stationary phase will elute later than
the analytes that interact least in the stationary phase. Reversed phase
chromatography is used in which the stationary phase is non-polar while the
mobile phase is the polar mixture. The changes in the mobile phase polarity
will affect the interaction between the analyte with the stationary phase and
also affect the efficiency of the separation. Changes in the mobile phase
composition can be done either by isocratic elution whereas the composition of
the mobile phase is constant throughout analysis or by gradient elution in
which the composition of the mobile phase is change during separation either
continuously or in step in order to separate wide range of polarity of the
analytes. The objective of this experiment is to optimize a separation of
caffeine, acetone, methyl benzoate, phenatole and phenanthrene using HPLC by
varying the mobile phase composition.

DISCUSSION
Composition of the mobile phase is strongly affected the
retention time of the analytes to be eluted throughout the column. Since it is
a reversed phase partition liquid chromatography, the stationary phase is a
polar while the mobile phase liquid is non-polar. Strong eluent strength tends
to decrease the retention time of the analytes. Strong eluent strength is where
the composition of the organic solvent used in the ratio is higher than the
water. In comparison between 50: 50 (ACN: H2O) and 70: 30 (ACN: H2O),
70: 30 ratio has higher eluent strength so that the analytes come out earlier
than the analytes that used mobile phase composition of 50:50. The separation
quality is depending on the resolution between peaks that ideally 1.5.
Resolution that is higher than 1.5 will produce good separation between peaks
but needs longer retention time for the last analyte to be eluted. Low
resolution than the ideal value of 1.5 produces inadequate separation between
peaks or in other words, the peaks is overlap between them. There is different
is happening when the gradient elution mode is used. Gradient elution mode is
used when there are wide polarities of compounds to be separated. Gradient
elution changes the polarity of mobile phase composition throughout analysis
either continuously or in step during the separation. Gradient elution mode
will decrease the retention time for the analytes to be eluted throughout the
column. The gradient elution will give better separation, high efficiency and
good resolution in separating the mixture with wide polarities. The qualitative
analysis was done to identify the components in the mixture by comparing the
peaks in the mixture with the peaks of the standard compound. There is caffeine
indicated for the first peak followed by acetone, methyl benzoate, phenatole
and phenanthrene
CONCLUSION
The optimized mobile phase composition for the separation of
the mixture is 70:30 (ACN: H2O). Higher composition of organic
solvent will increase the solvent strength that will shorten the analysis time.
The first peak is corresponds to caffeine and then are followed by acetone, methyl
benzoate, phenatole and phenanthrene peak.
