26 What Makes High Speed HPLC Possible? Small particle sizes (< 5 mm) Short columns (1 cm or less) Low viscosity mobile phases Optimized HPLC imal extra column volume, low volume flow cell, imal delay volume for gradients Detector set to fast response time High diffusion coefficient of the sample in the mobile phase Rapid diffusion = less band broadening = higher linear velocities with efficient peaks But large molecules have small diffusion coefficients!! Page 26

27 Slower Diffusion of Large Molecules Limits Speed and Resolution So, decrease the diffusion time for macromolecules! Increase the Diffusion Rate Elevate operating temperature -- Need stable bonded phase Decrease solvent viscosity -- Helps but changes elution Decrease the Diffusion Distance Develop very small particles (<2-um) Limit diffusion distance into a particle! Porous She l Solid Core Page 27

28 What is Poroshell 3SB? A solid silica core with a superficially porous surface of smaller silica sol particles derivatized with bonded phase. Poroshell 3SB superficially-porous particles, reduce diffusion distance for proteins for fast HPLC. A RP-HPLC phase such as C18, C8 or C3 are bound to sol particles in the porous shell.

49 Summary Fundamentals of Bio Separations apply whether using conventional columns or columns that optimize mass transfer These fundamentals can be used to optimize bio separations 1.8 µm particles can be used for much faster gradients peptide maps Poroshell columns have greatly reduced surface area and markedly reduce resistance to large molecule mass transfer This allows for fast analysis of proteins including very large proteins with high recovery. Optimized bonded phases for low and high ph offer more options for RPLC and Mass Spec assays Page 49
