How to Select a Preparative Column
Relationship Among Column I.D. , Sample Loading Volume and Flow Rate
Columns with internal diameters ranging from 6.0 to 100 mm are widely used in preparative operations. When the analytical conditions, column packing materials, and column lengths of the analytical and preparative run are identical, nearly identical chromatograms can be achieved by simply adjusting the flow rate and sample loading volume in proportion to the column cross-sectional area.
The following table provides the appropriate flow rate for a column with a given internal diameter.
Smooth and Easy Scale-Up from Analytical to Preparative Dimensions
Investigation of purification conditions using preparative HPLC columns is costly due to the large amount of sample required and solvent used. Therefore, it is common to initially study the purification conditions using an analytical column before scale -up to a preparative HPLC column. However, sufficient separation may not be obtained unless the preparative column with a performance that is equivalent the analytical HPLC column is used. As shown below, Inertsil ODS-3 provides good peak symmetry with a symmetry coefficient (Asy) that is close to 1 even in large-diameter columns. The theoretical number of plates (N) remained at ~ 20,000 for a 250 mm length column. This allows smooth scale-up from an inner diameter of 4.6 to 50 mm.
