Agilent Analysis of Peptides on a PLRP-S 100Å 10 m with ELS Detection Acetonitrile-free Eluents Manual
Due to global shortages, this document investigates alternative solvents for reversed phase HPLC peptide analysis. It details how switching from acetonitrile to methanol or ethanol can be achieved while maintaining separation efficiency using the Agilent PLRP-S 100Å column.
The primary focus is on utilizing the 385-LC ELS detector to overcome the high background absorbance and baseline drift caused by these alternative solvents in UV detection. The text provides specific gradient conditions, mobile phase compositions, and comparative data showing that the ELS detector produces flat baselines and sharp peaks comparable to acetonitrile-based runs.
