Abstract

This application note highlights the benifits of using SunFire Columns.

Benefits

SunFire C18 analytical and OBD preparative columns are designed to provide maximum loadability in simple mobile phase conditions, accurate scalability, and high peak capacity

Introduction

Today’s drug discovery environment demands the rapid isolation and purification of compounds with minimal chromatographic development. SunFire C18 Columns are engineered with highly pure raw materials and a tightly controlled synthesis process. These columns provide high efficiencies, maximum loading, and symmetric peak shapes for the analysis of bases, neutrals, and acids. SunFire C18 preparative columns are manufactured with the Optimum Bed Density (OBD) design to deliver consistent column-to-column performance, unmatched column lifetime with DMSO sample diluents, and accurate scalability. 

Experimental

Experimental Conditions

Columns:

SunFire C18 4.6 x 100 mm, 5 mm and 19 x 100 mm, 5 mm

Mobile phase A:

0.1% trifluoroacetic acid in water

Mobile phase B:

0.1% trifluoroacetic acid in acetonitrile

Flow rate:

1.4 mL/min analytical, 23.9 mL/min preparative

Analytical gradient:

10 min linear from 5% to 95% B, with 1 min initial hold time

Preparative gradient:

10 min linear from 5% to 95% B, with 1.79 min initial hold time

Injection volume:

60 mL (analytical) and 1020 mL (preparative)

Sample mixture:

8-bromoguanosine (20 mg/mL), acetanilide (20 mg/mL), hydrocortisone (20 mg/mL), 6α-methyl-17α-hydroxyprogesterone (12.5 mg/mL), 3-aminofluoranthene (20 mg/mL), 2-bromofluorene (20 mg/mL), and perylene (1.3 mg/mL) prepared in DMSO

Total mass loading:

6.9 mg (analytical), 115.7 mg (preparative)

Detection:

UV at 254nm

Instrument:

Waters AutoPurification System

Results and Discussion

The separation of the complex mixture on the analytical column is shown in Figure 1a. The total load is 6.9 mg. The flattened peak profiles reflect the saturation of the PDA detector under this high mass load. The separation was proportionally scaled-up and run on the preparative column as shown in Figure 1b. Note the direct scale up, excellent peak shapes and total mass load of 115.7 mg. In order to avoid saturation of the PDA detector under the preparative conditions, a 1/1000 dilution was employed on the preparative run. 

Scale-up of the purification of the complex mixture from analytical to preparative SunFire C18 columns
Figure 1. Scale-up of the purification of the complex mixture from analytical to preparative SunFire C18 columns. (a) SunFire C18, 4.6 x 100 mm, 5 mm. (b) SunFire C18 OBD, 19 x 100 mm, 5 mm. Analytes: 1) 8-bromoguanosine, 2) acetanilide, 3) hydrocortisone, 4) 6α-methyl-17α-hydroxyprogesterone, 5) 3-aminofluoranthene, 6) 2-bromofluorene, and 7) perylene. Note: The flat peak tops in (a) are due to the saturation response of PDA detector. The sharp peaks in (b) are due to the 1/1000 dilution employed on the preparative run. 

Conclusion

Highly efficient isolation and direct scale-up are observed on both SunFire C18 analytical and preparative columns. The SunFire Column chemistry ensures rapid target purifications with minimal chromatographic development.
