PG - 45-55 LID - 10.1016/j.chroma.2012.05.063 [doi] AB - The column-to-column repeatability of the mass transfer kinetics in columns packed with sub-3mum shell particles was investigated. The parameters of this kinetics were measured for twelve columns (six 2.1mmx100mm and six 4.6mmx100mm) packed with the same batch of 2.7mum Halo-ES-Peptide-C(18) particles (Advanced Material Technologies, Wilmington, DE, USA). For both series, the manufacturer provided columns at different positions in the efficiency distribution given by the quality test control. Three compounds were used, uracil, naphthalene and insulin. The reduced longitudinal diffusion term was measured with the peak parking (PP) method; the reduced solid-liquid mass transfer resistance term was given by a combination of the PP results and the most accurate model of effective diffusion in ternary composite materials (non-porous cores, concentric porous shell, and eluent matrix), validated previously. The overall eddy diffusion term was obtained by subtraction of these two HETP terms from the overall reduced HETP measured by numerical integration of the entire peak profiles. The results demonstrate that the dispersion of the column efficiencies is mostly due to the random nature of the packing process and the associated eddy diffusion term. At the highest reduced velocity achieved, the relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the eddy diffusion term for the 2.1mm I.D. columns were ca. 5 and 10% (with average values A(nu)=2.3 and 8.5) for naphthalene and uracil, respectively. For the 4.6mm I.D. columns, these RSDs were 3 and 5%, respectively, with average values A(nu)=1.5 and 2.7. CI - Copyright (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
