This application note describes a loading study performed on EnviroPrep columns to investigate the effect of sample concentration on-column on peak shape.
This document presents an application note detailing a loading study performed on Agilent EnviroPrep preparative GPC columns. The study utilized a mixture of four test probes (Corn oil, Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, Methoxychlor, and Perylene) to assess the separation of small molecules from a high molecular weight matrix under varying sample concentrations.
The chromatography gave good peak shapes up to 10.0 mg on-column loading.
The samples were injected individually to produce on-column loadings of 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 mg.
The methoxychlor sample displayed a negative dip after the main peak as the concentration was increased.
