Column Test Conditions (Reversed Phase and Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography Columns)

To check the deterioration of column performance, measure the column plate number and compare it with the number written in the inspection data sheet which is attached to the column. The test conditions for calculation of the plate number is determined for each column type and shown in the table below.
When you first use a column, we recommend you to measure its plate number before use. Plate number (N) can be calculated by the formula in the following figure.

SEC/MALS Analysis of Exosome (SB-806 HQ)

As an example of exosome (EV) analysis, the EV preparation process from cell culture supernatant was followed by a combination of polymer-based aqueous SEC (GFC) column OHpak SB-806 HQ and various detectors. UV 280 nm covers general culture-derived impurities, and fluorescence (Ex 280 nm / Em 348 nm) responds mainly to proteins via Trp residue fluorescence. In addition, MALS scattered light (LS) provides a highly sensitive response especially for large objects like nanoparticles. Also, MALS gives an estimate of the target RMS (root mean square) radius.
The fraction consisted mainly EV was separated from many culture-derived impurity components and was found around 8 minutes. While UV and fluorescence provide important insights into the progress and efficacy of the purification process and profiling of purified products, they are less sensitive to EVs mostly composed of lipid membranes and containing trace amounts of protein / nucleic acid cargo. It can be seen that LS is an effective EV tracking method, especially in the early stages of purification.
SB-806 HQ is a high-performance aqueous SEC (GFC) column suitable for bioproducts with a sufficient pore size to hold and separate EV-class nanoscale objects. Combined with a variety of detectors, it is useful for comprehensive analysis of the complex bio-nano target preparation process.

EV fraction preparation conditions
(1) Concentration step: Commercially available centrifugal ultrafiltration membrane 100 kDa (40 times concentrated)
(2) Affinity step: Commercial affinity purification kit (equivalent to 10-fold concentration)

Analysis of Oxyhalides in Artificial-Drinking Water According to EPA Method 300.1 (SI-37 4D)

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Method 300.1 specifies methods for anion analysis in drinking water. EPA Method 300.1 has two parts. Part A: analysis of common ions and Part B: analysis of inorganic disinfection byproducts. Both uses the same analysis methods.

This application shows the example analysis of artificial-drinking water (standards spiked) following the EPA Method 300.1. With an IC SI-37 4D, an anion analysis column, analysis of common anions and inorganic disinfection byproducts (oxyhalides) is completed within 30 minutes. Moreover, it is capable of providing high sensitivity analysis of oxyhalides.

Separation of Phosphorylated Analytes (VN-50 4D)

HILICpak VN-50 4D, a polymer-based HILIC mode column, was used to analyze and successfully separate three analytes and their phosphorylated forms. VN-50 4D retains polar substances, which are not retained well by regular reversed-phase mode ODS columns. Thus, it is suitable for the analysis of sugars, sugar intermediates, and phosphorylated compounds with high polarity. Analytes studied were Glucose, D-Ribose, Pyruvate, and their respective phosphorylated compounds. From the chromatograms, we see the non-phosphorylated analytes elute first on the VN-50 4D, while the phosphorylated analytes eluate later due to them being higher charged species. For the pyruvate and phosphoenolpyruvate analysis, we want to note that pyruvate did not retain on the column too long because of its low charged state. Lastly, the asterisks shown are phosphate impurities found in the phosphorylated samples.

Analysis of Oligonucleotides and Their Impurities (2) Base Alteration (VN-50 2D)

In R&D and QC of nucleic acid drugs such as antisense nucleic acids require development of analytical methods that separate the target synthetic oligonucleotide from its impurities as much as possible. In this application, four compounds were analyzed using HILICpak VN-50 2D, a polymer-based HILIC column. The four compounds were 20mer synthetic oligo-DNAs: one with the target base sequence and its three analogs with 1 to 3 base alterations. By having different bases make their hydrophilicities different from each other. Four synthetic oligo-DNAs were separated by HILIC mode using this hydrophilicity differences. The application developed here does not require a use of ion-pairing reagent nor highly concentrated salt in the eluent. Therefore, it is suitable for LC/MS analysis of oligonucleotides.
