How do you distinguised np-hplc and rp-hplc?

NP-HPLC is "Normal Phase" HPLC, wherein the solvents used are less polar than the substrate in the HPLC column (e.g. using hexane or dichloromethane with a silica HPLC column). RP-HPLC is "Reverse-Phase" HPLC, wherein the solvents used are more polar than the substrate in the HPLC column (e.g. using Water and Methanol with a octadecylsilane (ODS or C18) column).


Why are the plates in column chromatography called 'theoretical plates'?

The number of theoretical plates in a chromatography column is a measure of how "long" the column is - how well it separates. A "short" column will only separate large or heavy molecules, and the medium and light stuff is still mixed together in the last band. A "long" column will separate the little stuff better because there are more theorectical plates. Picture a stack of sieves with smaller and smaller holes as the column gets "longer" and you've got the idea. This "length" has virtually nothing to do with the physical length of the separating column. It is a function of the packing materials and solvents used during a separation.


What is meant by constant molal overflow?

Constant molal overflow is a term used in binary distillation. When a 2 component mixture is being separated in a distillation column,the assumption of constant molal overflow means assuming that both components have the same enthalpy. It assumes that one mole of component 1 when it condenses will vapourise 1 mole of component 2,also assumes no heat loss from the column. Can be wildly innacurate,particularly with separating organic solvents,and water. Water has a uniquely high enthalpy,often 5-6 times higer than the organic solvents.


How much dmso should be used for a c-18 hplc column to knock out everything retained in the column?

Depends on the column..... For a regular C18, try running 10% methanol through and then full-loop injections of 50% DMSO repeatedly until you're happy with the result. Also, reduce the run-time. For me, 3 minutes for a 2x50mm.


Would you that mixing gases is a reversible change?

It isn't easily reversible but, it is reversible. You can use a molecular sieve or a distillation column to separate them.

Why will a column will not change during the copy process?

The source column (where you copy from) will remain the same, but the target column (where you paste to) will change. That is the function of copy. If you are unable to copy to a column, check to ensure protection is turned off.
