Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of liquid chromatography columns, and in particular to a column packing device and a column packing method for a C18 / phenyl mixed filler liquid chromatography column. Background Art
[0002] Liquid chromatography column technology is a key technology used in analytical chemistry to separate and identify components in mixtures. According to the type and purpose of the filler, chromatographic columns can be divided into many categories, including reversed phase chromatography columns (RPC), normal phase chromatography columns (NPC), ion exchange chromatography columns (IEC) and size exclusion chromatography columns (SEC). Reverse phase chromatography columns are the most commonly used type, suitable for the separation of most organic small molecules and biomacromolecules; normal phase chromatography columns are often used for the separation of polar substances; ion exchange chromatography columns are specifically used for the separation of ionic compounds; and size exclusion chromatography columns are used for molecular size separation and characterization. Among them, C18 fillers and phenyl fillers in reverse phase chromatography columns are the most commonly used. C18 fillers have the characteristics of good versatility and high resolution, while phenyl fillers have good separation ability for aromatic compounds. Actual samples often contain various compounds. Using C18 / phenyl mixed fillers can obtain better separation effects than single fillers in specific applications, such as improving the selectivity and resolution of separation, and providing better performance for liquid chromatography analysis.
[0003] Liquid chromatography column packing technology is a key step in the column preparation process, which involves how to evenly load the filler into the column to obtain a uniform and compact column bed. Using the same filler, different homogenates and packing conditions can significantly affect the final performance of the column. For example, the choice of homogenate will affect the suspension state and fluidity of the mixed filler, thereby affecting the uniformity of the distribution of the filler in the column. Different packing pressures and speeds will change the compactness of the filler. Too high or too low pressure may cause channelization or over-compaction of the filler, which will affect the stability and column efficiency of the finished column. Therefore, optimizing the type of homogenate and the packing device during the packing process is an important factor in ensuring that the column has high stability, high column efficiency and long life.
[0004] Appropriate column packing technology can significantly improve the performance of the chromatographic column, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of liquid chromatography analysis. The Chinese patent with patent authorization announcement number CN101776668B describes the mixing of cyclohexanol and chloroform in a volume ratio of 9:11 to 13:7, and the addition of C18 silica gel to prepare a homogenate. The Chinese patent application with patent application publication number CN114217001A describes the preparation of a homogenate by adding C18 silica gel to tetrahydrofuran. The Chinese patent with patent authorization announcement number CN201803995U describes a new type of auxiliary column packing device, the main function of which is to use small but moderate frequency vibrations during the chromatographic column filling process to make the column bed of the dry column more compact, thereby improving the separation efficiency of the chromatographic column. Patent application publication number CN115078602A Chinese patent application describes a capillary high pressure liquid chromatography column ultrasonic preparation method, the main function of this ultrasonic device is to disperse the filler particles in the capillary, so that it can be more evenly accumulated and filled with capillary, which helps to improve the separation effect and stability of the capillary column, ensure the uniformity and compactness of the filler, thereby improving the service life and separation efficiency of the capillary column. However, conventional homogenate is difficult to make C18 / phenyl mixed filler uniformly dispersed, and sedimentation is prone to occur during column loading, resulting in uneven distribution of filler in the chromatographic column, and this unevenness can form channel effect or dead volume in the chromatographic column, thereby affecting the accuracy of column efficiency and analysis results. In addition, the sedimentation of filler may also cause the column head pressure to increase, reducing the service life of the column. Therefore, the homogenate and column loading method of the above patent are not suitable for the loading of C18 / phenyl mixed filler chromatographic column. Summary of the invention

The aperture of the opening matches the outer diameter of the homogenization tank 1. At least a part of the tank body of the homogenization tank 1 is immersed in the ultrasonic medium in the groove-shaped accommodating cavity 5, and the homogenization tank 1 passes through the opening and extends out of the bottom surface 6 of the groove; an ultrasonic generator 7 is provided on the inner surface of the ultrasonic device 4, and the ultrasonic device 4 is used for real-time ultrasonic mixing of the mixed filler in the homogenization tank 1; the chromatographic column empty tube has a column feed port and a column discharge port, and the column feed port is connected to the tank discharge port 3, and the chromatographic column empty tube is used for filling the mixed filler in the homogenization tank 1; wherein the mixed filler includes C18 filler and phenyl filler; the homogenate includes a mixture of chloroform, methanol and C3-C6 perhalogenated alkanes.
[0028] On the one hand, the present invention selects a homogenate of a mixed component, the density of the homogenate is adjustable, and the mixed filler of C18 filler and phenyl filler can be evenly distributed in the homogenate tank 1, and the selected solvent contains a halogenated carbon chain with good hydrophobicity, which can make the modified long-chain functional group on the filler in a stretched state, thereby improving the column packing effect. On the other hand, the homogenate tank 1 of the present invention is matched with an ultrasonic device 4, and the ultrasonic device 4 has a groove-type accommodating cavity 5, and the groove-type accommodating cavity 5 contains an ultrasonic medium. The ultrasonic wave emitted by the ultrasonic generator 7 can ensure the uniform suspension of the mixed filler in the whole column packing process through the transmission of the ultrasonic medium, effectively avoiding the common filler sedimentation problem in the traditional wet column packing, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the filler in the whole column packing process, obtaining a uniform and compact column bed, reducing the channel effect, dead volume and column head pressure inside the chromatographic column, and thus improving the resolution and stability of the chromatographic column.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present application, the probe of the ultrasonic generator 7 is immersed in the ultrasonic medium in the groove-shaped accommodating cavity 5, and / or the ultrasonic medium is selected from any one or more of water, ethanol, methanol, acetonitrile, 50% ethanol aqueous solution, and 10% sodium chloride aqueous solution; and / or the ultrasonic generator 7 is a cylindrical bottom ultrasonic generator or a ring-shaped probe ultrasonic generator.
[0030] The probe of the ultrasonic generator 7 is preferably immersed in the ultrasonic medium in the trough-shaped accommodating chamber 5, that is, the probe is located below the ultrasonic medium liquid level 8, which is conducive to further improving the uniformity of the ultrasonic waves transmitted to the homogenization tank 1. It is further preferred that the ultrasonic medium is water. Compared with other types of ultrasonic media, water is preferred as the ultrasonic medium, which is not only conducive to improving the good transmission of ultrasonic waves, but also helps to reduce its pollution to the environment and reduce its corrosion to the ultrasonic device 4. The cylindrical bottom ultrasonicator or the ring probe ultrasonicator is preferred to help select the direction of ultrasonic transmission according to different chromatographic column lengths and chromatographic column compactness and the conditions of the ultrasonic device 4.
[0031] In one embodiment of the present application, a portion of the tank body of the above-mentioned homogenization tank 1 close to the tank discharge port 3 is immersed in the ultrasonic medium in the trough-shaped containing cavity 5, and / or 10% to 90% of the volume of the homogenization tank 1 is immersed in the ultrasonic medium.
[0032] Preferably, 10% to 90% of the volume of the homogenization tank 1 is controlled to be immersed in the ultrasonic medium, which helps to further ensure the contact between the bottom of the homogenization tank and the medium, thereby improving the uniformity of the mixing of the filler at the bottom of the homogenization tank.
[0033] In one embodiment of the present application, when an ultrasonic medium is added to the trough-shaped holding cavity 5, it is preferred that the vertical distance between the end of the homogenization tank 1 that passes through the trough bottom surface 6 and the trough bottom surface 6 is 1 to 10 cm, which helps the ultrasonic medium to completely surround the homogenization tank 1 without flowing into the homogenization tank 1, and at the same time helps the filler at the bottom of the homogenization tank 1 to be fully acted upon by the ultrasonic wave.
[0034] In one embodiment of the present application, a sealing ring is provided at the interface between the above-mentioned opening and the homogenization tank 1 .
[0035] The setting of the sealing ring helps to reduce the risk of ultrasonic medium leakage while ensuring the effective transmission of ultrasonic energy. In addition, the sealing ring material should be selected with high elasticity and chemical stability, such as fluororubber or silicone rubber, to ensure that it can still maintain good sealing performance under high pressure and various solvent environments.
[0036] In another typical embodiment of the present application, a method for packing a C18 / phenyl mixed filler liquid chromatography column using the above-mentioned column packing device is provided, the method comprising: step S1, mixing raw materials including a homogenate and a mixed filler in a homogenization tank 1 and filling the homogenization tank 1; step S2, using an ultrasonic device 4 to perform real-time ultrasonic mixing on the mixed filler in the homogenization tank 1; step S3, using a column packing machine to fill the filler in the homogenization tank 1 into an empty tube of the chromatographic column; wherein the mixed filler comprises C18 filler and phenyl filler; and the homogenate comprises a mixture of chloroform, methanol and C3-C6 perhalogenated alkanes.
[0037] On the one hand, the present invention screens a homogenate of a mixed component, the density of the homogenate is adjustable, and the mixed filler of C18 filler and phenyl filler can be evenly distributed in the homogenization tank, and the selected solvent contains a halogenated carbon chain with good hydrophobicity, which can make the modified long-chain functional group on the filler in a stretched state, thereby improving the column packing effect. On the other hand, the homogenization tank 1 of the present invention matches the ultrasonic device 4, and the ultrasonic device 4 has a groove-type accommodating cavity 5, and the groove-type accommodating cavity 5 contains an ultrasonic medium. The ultrasonic wave emitted by the ultrasonic generator 7 can ensure the uniform suspension of the mixed filler in the whole column packing process through the transmission of the ultrasonic medium, effectively avoiding the common filler sedimentation problem in the traditional wet column packing, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the filler in the whole column packing process, obtaining a uniform and compact column bed, reducing the channel effect, dead volume and column head pressure inside the chromatographic column, and thus improving the resolution and stability of the chromatographic column. The method of the present invention has good column packing effect, reduces the transfer process of the filler and the homogenization time, improves the column packing efficiency, the service life of the chromatographic column and the accuracy of the analysis results, and the relative standard deviation of the theoretical plate number of the packed chromatographic column is less than 3%, with high repeatability and high stability of the chromatographic column.
[0038] In one embodiment of the present application, the halogen in the above-mentioned C3~C6 perhalogenated alkane is fluorine element and / or bromine element, and the C3~C6 perhalogenated alkane is preferably selected from any one or more of 1-bromonoperfluorohexane, 1-nonafluorobutyl bromide, and 1,6-dibromonoperfluorohexane; and / or, the volume ratio of chloroform, methanol and C3~C6 perhalogenated alkane is 1~30:1~50:1~30, preferably 2~10:10:1~10.
[0039] The preferred types of the above C3-C6 perhalogenated alkanes and the volume ratio of chloroform, methanol and C3-C6 perhalogenated alkanes help to improve the density adjustability of the homogenate and better disperse the mixed filler in the homogenate.
[0040] In one embodiment of the present application, the ultrasonic power of the ultrasonic mixing is preferably 10 to 50 W, preferably 20 to 40 W, which helps to keep the filler evenly suspended under the action of ultrasound and avoid sedimentation.
[0041] In one embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned step S3 includes: step S31, placing the sinker into the displacement liquid, turning on the switch of the column packing machine, adjusting the pump speed of the column packing machine pump until liquid is discharged from the outlet pipeline of the column packing machine pump, and stopping the column packing machine pump; step S32, adjusting the pump speed of the column packing machine pump to maintain its pressure at a stable P, controlling the total amount of liquid V flowing out of the outlet pipeline of the column packing machine pump, adjusting the column packing machine pump to a pump pressure of 0, and completing the column packing after standing for a certain period of time; P is 20 to 80 MPa; and / or, the standing time is 5 to 60 min, and / or, for an empty tube of a chromatographic column with a specification of 250 mm×4.6 mm, the total amount of liquid V is 20 to 100 mL; and / or, for an empty tube of a chromatographic column with a specification of 150 mm×4.6 mm, the total amount of liquid V is 20 to 80 mL; and / or, for an empty tube of a chromatographic column with a specification of 100 mm×4.6 mm, the total amount of liquid V is 20 to 60 mL.
[0042] The purpose of step S31 is to exhaust bubbles. The presence of bubbles will affect the separation performance and stability of the chromatographic column, leading to pressure fluctuations, abnormal peak shape and other problems. Before filling the liquid chromatographic column with filler, the first exhaust operation with a displacement liquid helps to remove the bubbles remaining inside the chromatographic column and obtain a uniform, bubble-free column bed, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the chromatographic analysis. The properties of the displacement liquid should be similar to the chromatographic mobile phase so that the environment inside the chromatographic column can match the analysis conditions before using the chromatographic column for analysis. This can reduce the impact on the column bed caused by the sudden change of the mobile phase properties at the beginning of the analysis, affecting the performance of the chromatographic column. At the same time, the selection of the displacement liquid should take into account the properties of the filler and the final use of the chromatographic column. During the column loading process, the displacement liquid is introduced into the chromatographic column at a certain pressure and flow rate by the pump of the column loading machine, so that the uniformly dispersed filler is pushed into the chromatographic column from the homogenization tank to form a column bed. Therefore, the preferred displacement liquid of the present application is selected from any one or more of methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile, isopropanol, and acetone. It is preferred that P is controlled to be 20 to 80 MPa to help the filler to deposit uniformly. The preferred standing time is conducive to further uniform distribution and stability of the filler. Optimizing the matching of chromatographic column empty tubes of different specifications with the total amount of liquid V is more conducive to improving the column packing effect of the chromatographic column empty tube.
[0043] In addition, after the standing time is over, the chromatographic column is taken out of the homogenization tank, and then a frit plate and a column head are installed at both ends. The frit plate is used to prevent the packing from being lost, and the column head is used to connect other parts of the chromatograph.
[0044] In one embodiment of the present application, the ratio of the volume of the above-mentioned homogenate to the mass of the mixed filler is preferably 5-50 mL: 1-5 g, which is beneficial to improve the dispersion uniformity and stability of the mixed filler in the homogenate.
