The Truth about Fast LC
Optimizing Performance
Selectivity of the column stationary phase is the single largest factor in the resolution equation.
• Maximum resolution enables scientists to obtain more information, produce superior results, and decrease run times of the most demanding separations.
• Phenomenex offers a broad range of high quality bonded phases on ultra-pure silica and TWIN™ Technology based media to maximize resolution.
Optimizing Efficiency
Efficiency is a significant factor in the resolution equation; efficiency can be increased by:
• Increasing column length
• Decreasing particle size
Optimizing Pressure
Pressure is most heavily influenced by linear velocity, column length and particle size. Pressure can be decreased by:
• Decreasing column length
• Increasing particle diameter

N = Efficiency
k = Capacity
Performance Efficiency Pressure
A winning balanced solution for fast LC will significantly reduce chromatographic run time while properly addressing the performance requirements dictated by a laboratory’s research objectives (i.e. efficiency, speed, selectivity) and available HPLC systems.
The truth is speed is only one feature of a balanced performance solution. Efficiency and selectivity have critical roles as well. All of these features are interrelated, and manipulation to optimize one feature will affect the others either directly or inversely. Furthermore, they may all contribute towards high system pressure, an undesirable side effect.

Speed of analysis is dependant upon more than just column length and particle size.
• The resolution of one or more critical compounds in a multi-analyte sample can dictate the ultimate maximum speed you may obtain.
• Selectivity is the strongest factor in the resolution equation, and is influenced heavily by stationary phase and silica purity.
• By optimizing selectivity to increase baseline resolution, the analyst has more opportunity to reduce run times.

Who Will Finish First?Fast equilibration and shorter run times allow more runs per hour than traditional columns.
Fast re-equilibration
In a research environment, it is very common to run multiple samples under varied conditions. Therefore, the total working time of the column is not just the run time, but also the period required to re-equilibrate the column between solvent gradient runs. Using Onyx you will not only dramatically reduce run time, but also equilibration time resulting in increased lab throughput.

Anti-Hypertensives in plasma
Background: Several related drug compounds in plasma sample. Samples precipitated with organic and run through a protein precipitation plate (PPT).
Challenge: Maintain compound retention, separation, and peak shape even though sample is in 80 % organic.
Solution: Macroporous structure of Onyx mixes solvent slug quickly. Compound retains on phase and still maintains excellent separation.
Challenge: Avoiding flow restrictions and overpressures due to salts, unprecipitated proteins, sugars, and lipids present in the sample.
Solution: The low backpressure of Onyx makes overpressures unlikely even at very high flow rates. Also, the through-pores of the media make Onyx less likely to “plug up” from matrix contaminants versus particulate columns.
Diazepam and metabolite in urine
Background: Monitoring of a pharmaceutical compound and its metabolite in urine. Sample is directly injected via “dilute-and-shoot” method onto column.
Challenge: “Dilute-and-shoot” contains large amounts of proteins as well as other contaminants that can potentially clog the column quickly.
Solution: Wide macropores (� µm) of Onyx reduce interference due to proteins present in sample and allow sample to easily pass through column.
Challenge: High-throughput method needed with short run time.
Solution: Monolithic structure allows for rapid gradients with very short re-equilibration times resulting in methods less than 4 minutes.
Challenge: Sample carryover can be problematic with complex samples.
Solution: Improved flow characteristics of monoliths result in lower sample carryover, especially for complex matrices like urine and plasma.
