I'm running some HPLC soybeans extracts with ETOH 70% with acetic acid
0,1%, but I got no Genistein peak, although I got a peak at gradient run at
37 minutes but with 294 UV absortions, instead of 260 nm......
     Could it be degradated or to be in malonyl form ?
     Thanks for any help....

Hi,

   Is the system conected to an integrator or to a chromatography station?

In either case I would first check to see if the cables are connected tightly.

   Do you see any noise on the data system or is it just a flat line?

  thanks,

mike

I need the components of a simple method to determine Vitamine 25 OH
D3 in HPLC.The method is as follow:

Sample preparation

Mix briefly 500 µl serum/plasma with 50 µl Internal Standard in a
light protected reaction vial.
Add 500 µl Precipitation Reagent, vortex 20 s.
Cool down 10 min at +4 °C.
Centrifuge 5 min at 13 000 rpm.
Apply entire supernatant to sample clean up column, centrifuge 1 min
at 1500 rpm, discard effluent.
Draw 2 x 1 ml Wash Buffer 1 through the column by centrifugation (1
min at 1500 rpm), discard effluent.
Draw 75 µl Wash Buffer 2 through column by centrifugation (1 min at
1500 rpm), discard effluent.
Elute with 200 µl Elution Buffer into glass vials (1 min at 1500 rpm),
dilute with 20 µl dist. water.
Inject 50 µl eluate into the HPLC system.

What are the names of these components according to you?

Thanks

We use a method to determine plasma catecholamine in HPLC.Prior the
plasma is precipitated with a reactive A.Then exctrated with a resin
mixed to dietiletilammonium.
When I have used for raective A a perchloric acid I have seen that I
have not extraction of catecholamines but I have only Internal
standard put prior!

Any suggestions?

Dear Friends

Could you anyone suggest us for doing Chef test and swap test in
water,meat and fish.

Charm sciences inc is making such instrument.

If you know any equivalent inst. please let me know the details.

Thanks in advance.

We have a HP5890 GC-FID and a Varian 3400 GC-ECD.  Both currently have
integrators.  I'd like to replace both integrators with one computer.
  We never use both instruments at the same time and I'm happy to
switch the computer from one to the other.  Does anyone have any
suggestions on good, cheap software that would work for both
instruments?  I just need something simple (display peaks and
integrate).  We have an old ADC for the Varian that I think still
works but I guess would need something similar for the HP.

Cheers.

There is chromatography data system software called Delta 5.5 that would
probably work well with your GC instruments and is competitively priced.

The URL is: http://www.dataworx.com.au/www/index.htm .

Problem:  We are consistently seeing peak(s) around 14-18 amu over
40 abundance in the autotune spectra on an Agilent 5973 MSD
connected to an Agilent 6890 GC.  We had a technician come out and
the only solution to the problem is to do a startup.m method that
starts at 60C, Initial Time =0, Ramp of 30 to 250 for a final time
of 10 mins, run time is 16.33 mins.  The Front Inlet parameters are
Split mode at 250C, pressure at 5.30 psi, split ratio – 23.5:1,
split flow – 35.7 ml/min, total flow 39.3 ml/min.  The tech checked
for leaks through out the entire system

The general.m method that we use for the analysis is a bit different
being in a splitless mode, start temp of 60C, Initial time 2 mins,
rate 30C, 300C for 5 mins..  Front Inlet splitless 250C, 5.30
pressure, purge flow 35.7, total flow 39.3.

We created a new method called gensplit.m where the only thing we
changed in the method was the split mode and the peaks were greatly
reduced.

The questions, other than the problem stated above, are:
1. Why are we seeing these peaks?  What could they be – water,
nitrogen, oxygen??
2. Is it really a problem to run an autotune using a different
method than what you are running the samples on?  I don't think so
as the autotune is checking the MS of the instrument.  When I
compared the startup.m to the general.m the only differences are in
the GC parameters and none in the MS parameters.
3. Any advantages or disadvantages to running split or
splitless?

Some people think that is moisture built up in the GC system and
when we do the startup.m, the moisture is burned off as the peaks
are lower if the autotune is done immediately after the startup.m
methods ends.  But could it be another contaminant?

The analysis on this GC/MS is for controlled substances, qualitative
analysis only.

Thank you for your help.

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Ion-pairing reagents such as tetra-butyl-ammonium
chloride and octanesulfonic acid tend to adsorb to
reversed phase stationary phases like C-18, modifying
their chromatographic behavior. Once these reagents
have been used, it is recommended that the column be
dedicated to ion-pairing separations only.

As they are getting adsorption it needs more time for
column to be conditioned.

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone could help me.  We have started some experiments
with PCBs.  We extracted control and PCB spiked sediment samples by
soxhlet (hexane/ acetone).  We can see the PCBs in the spike by GCMS
but not ECD.  The ECD gave peaks for an SRM and for the test mixture
but for these samples (Hudson river sediment). I have to turn up the
ECD attenuation and get just a couple of really tiny peaks.  I find it
difficult to believe the ECD is less sensitive than the MS.  We tried
adding some small pieces of clean copper to see it was a sulfur
problem but no improvement.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks

Hi,
I'm having some noise issues that I'm hoping someone can help me with.
  I have a HP5890 GC and HP5970 MS.  I recently fixed the injector
heater and replaced the column.  It seemed to work OK for a while but
I have a high background (about 1E6).  I tried reinstalling the column
a couple of times but now can't get any peaks at for a test mixture
(0.03% C14, C15, C16)not even for the solvent, just lots of noisy
spikes.  The water level is a little high about 40%.  I'm running out
of patience with it.  Any advice?

Cheers,

Dear colleagues,

We are trying to separate the cis/trans isomers of
1,2-dialkylcyclohexanes by HPLC, the aim ultimately being to obtain up
to 100 milligrams of each isomer.  Slight separation is achieved on a
Cronusil Triple-E C18 column with acetonitrile (see attached pdf) but
this is insufficient to consider a preparative separation.  Preparative
GC might work but we no longer have the facility here.  Any suggestions
on alternative HPLC columns are very welcome.  Thank you for your time.

Kind regards,

Tony Herlt.

Thanks for everyone's help with my GCMS noise problem.  I thought it
might be good to post a follow up.  After replacing the column,
injector heater, liner, and injector seal, it seems that i managed to
put a crack in the column.  Therefore, very little gas was getting to
the detector hence the noisy signal.

Again, thanks to all for your advice.

Dear colleagues,

A colleague has obtained a second-hand Beckman 171 radioisotope detector
   and needs to calibrate it for C14 but does not have the calibration
cell.

Would any of you know where we might be able to obtain or borrow one?

Thank you in advance for any help,
