SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the optimal HPLC columns for separating enantiomer proteins, specifically highlighting the use of chiral columns. Users recommend Chiral columns from Waters or Agilent for reduced contamination compared to other brands. The importance of using Whatman filter paper grade 43 is acknowledged, as it is suitable for quantitative filtering. Additionally, it is noted that one enantiomer protein produces two peaks in chiral columns and one peak in normal columns, which is crucial for understanding separation results.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) principles
  • Familiarity with chiral separation techniques
  • Knowledge of Whatman filter paper grade 43 specifications
  • Experience with interpreting chromatograms and peak analysis
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specifications and performance of Waters and Agilent chiral HPLC columns
  • Learn about the impact of filter paper on HPLC results
  • Explore the use of HPLC column configurators for optimal column selection
  • Study the principles of enantiomer separation and peak interpretation in chromatography
USEFUL FOR

Laboratory technicians, analytical chemists, and researchers involved in protein separation and chromatography optimization will benefit from this discussion.

Hi,
first off all, I know this isn´t the best forum for my questions about HPLC columns, but unfortunately on other forums either people don´t answer or don´t know what they are talking about.
So here my question:
I have to separate enantiomer proteins with HPLC columns. I read it is import which filter paper I used before so I´ll post it,too: Whatman filter paper grade 43
So far so good.
my problem now is that I need contaminations about nearly zero percent. Therefore I´m using at the moment a HPLC column of Chiral. but all the time I get peaks that shouldn´t be there. Would it be better to change the manufacturer to Waters or Agilent?
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
Yes.
 
Hi,
I´m working in a labor for now 5 years among others with HPLC columns. In my opinion Whatman filter paper grade 43 should be fine, cause it´s a quantitative filter paper. I think for separating enantiomer proteins chiral HPLC columns are the best choice, though chiral columns of Waters or Agilent would have less contamination, too. Did you regard that one enantiomer protein always gives two peaks in a chiral HPLC column and one in a “normal” one?
Perhaps you should write a little bit more about your experiment.
For comparing HPLC columns I´ll also send you a link with a HPLC column configurator:

Hope it will be helpfull, good luck:smile:
