Effect of Buffer on HPLC Separation of Buffers

Application Notes:
Application Columns:
Obelisc N columns are the first commercially available columns with Liquid Separation Cell technology (LiSC). With multiple patents pending, LiSC technology is based on a new chemical modification of silica gel pores that creates a liquid separation cell with its own charge characteristics, ionic strength, and hydrophobic properties. Like living cells which exist in equilibrium with the outside environment, liquid separation cells exist in constant equilibrium with the mobile phase. Obelisc N, for normal phase, has very polar characteristics and works well for polar and charged analytes. In ion-exchange mode, charged analytes interact with oppositely charged groups on the stationary phase. In traditional HILIC mode, a charged or neutral polar analyte interacts with a water layer on the polar stationary phase surface. On Obelisc N the charges are greatly separated and independently accessible which results in different selectivity compared to traditional HILIC and silica columns. Mobile phase composition changes the conformation of the long hydrophilic chain. This affects the properties of the liquid separation cell and changes separation selectivity. Typical mobile phases used with Obelisc N columns are based on acetonitrile, water, and the mass spec compatible buffers ammonium formate (pH 3) and ammonium acetate (pH 5). If it is necessary to detect in low UV (<220 nm) then phosphate buffer is recommended. Obelisc N columns are compatible with mass spectrometers (LC/MS), evaporative light scattering detectors and preparative chromatography (prep HPLC) system.
