Resources Optimizing Preparative HPLC There are numerous parameters and techniques to optimize preparative HPLC. Optimization will improve chromatography and percent recovery of collected fractions. Separation Scale-up Equations When scaling up from analytical scout runs to preparative purification the main parameters to scale up are: Flow Rate Fc2=Fc1 x D²c2 x Pc1 D²c1 Pc2 Fc1= Flow rate on column 1 (ml/min.) Dc1= Internal Diameter of column 1 (mm) Dc2= Internal Diameter of column 2 (mm) Pc1= Particle size of column 1 material (μm) Pc2= Particle size of column 2 material (μm) Injection Volume D²c2 x Lc2 Vc2 = Vc1 x D²c1 x Lc1 Vc1= Injection volume on column 1 (μl) Dc1= Internal Diameter of column 1 (mm) Lc1 = Length of column 1 (mm) Dc2= Internal Diameter of column 2 (mm) Lc2 = Length of column 2 (mm) Gradient Duration length preparative (diameter preparative) 2 flow rate analytical GD preparative = GD analytical x x x length analytical (diameter analytical) 2 flow rate preparative Pressure Equation In preparative chromatography the back pressure generated by the column and the various tubing can become a constraint. At constant mobile phase viscosity, the pressure drop can be estimated: Pc2 = Pc1 x Fc2 x Lc2 Pc1x Dc1 x( ) ² Pc1= Pressure on column 1 (psi) Pc2= Pressure on column 2 (psi) Fc1 x Lc1 Pc2x Dc2 Tubing & Column Back Pressure Tubing Back Pressure - for 1 meter length Pressure (psi/bar) Tubing ID (in/mm - Color coded) Flow (ml/min.) 0,005/0,13 - Red 0,010/0,25 - Natural 0,020/0,50 - Or 0,030/0,75 - Green 0,040/1,00 - Natural 1 695/48 43/3 20 870/60 55/4 11/1 45 125/9 24/2 120 325/22 65/5 20/1 180 96/7 30/2 Typical Volume (μl) 13 50 200 450 800 Basic Column Back Pressure - Solvent: Methanol/Water - Solid phase: C18-5 μm Pressure Column ID (mm) Column Length (mm) 4,6 20 30 50 80 150 1900 psi / 130 bars 250 3100 psi / 213 bars Typical flow (ml/min.) 1 19 43 118 302 14
