Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the selection of HPLC columns for the separation of enantiomer proteins, with a focus on contamination issues and the suitability of different manufacturers' products. Participants share their experiences and insights regarding filter paper and the characteristics of chiral columns.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested
  • Experimental/applied

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses concern about contamination in their current HPLC column from Chiral and questions whether switching to Waters or Agilent would be beneficial.
  • Another participant supports the use of Whatman filter paper grade 43, stating it is suitable for quantitative purposes.
  • It is noted that chiral HPLC columns typically produce two peaks for one enantiomer protein, while normal columns produce one peak.
  • A suggestion is made to provide more details about the experiment to facilitate better advice.
  • A link to an HPLC column configurator is shared as a resource for further exploration of options.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants have differing opinions on the best HPLC column manufacturer and the implications of using different types of columns, indicating that multiple competing views remain. The discussion does not reach a consensus on the optimal choice for separating enantiomer proteins.

Contextual Notes

There are unresolved questions regarding the specific experimental conditions and the nature of the contamination observed, which may affect the choice of HPLC column.

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:
