Chromatographic Methods of Pharmaceutical Analysis Flashcards
The process in which a solution of a mixture is separation into its components
Chromatography
2 phases in chromatography (SM)
Stationary, Mobile
May be a solid, liquid supported on a solid, or a gel (Phases in chromatography)
Stationary phase
May be gaseous, liquid, or supercritical liquid (Phases in chromatography)
Mobile phase
Meaning of LSC
Liquid-solid chromatography (LSC)
Meaning of LLC
Liquid-liquid chromatography (LLC)
Meaning of GLC
Gas-liquid chromatography
Meaning of GSC
Gas-solid chromatography
Meaning of TLC
Thin-layer chromatography
Meaning of GC
Gas chromatography
Meaning of HPLC
High performance liquid chromatography
Meaning of CC
Column adsorption chromatography
Brings about the separation of a mixture through a competitive process in which molecules of the mobile phase competes with the analyte molecules in the adsorbent (Types of chromatography)
Adsorption chromatography
4 common adsorbents used in adsorption chromatography (KASC)
Kiesulguhr, Activated alumina, Silica gel, Calcium carbonate
2 types of packing (DW)
Dry, Wet
The column is washed with eluents until each compound is successively obtained in the eluate (Types of chromatography)
Elution chromatography
Involves the spotting of a sample of a mixture of compounds at end of an adsorbent-coated glass plate followed by passage of a solvent through the adsorbent (Types of chromatography)
Thin-layer chromatography (TLC)
Factor that expresses the mobility of separated spots; also the ratio of the distance travelled by the solute and the solvent; employed in TLC
Retardation factor/Retention factor (Rf)
Used for wide range of pharmacopeial tests (Common stationary phases in TLC)
Silica gel G
Same as silica gel G where visualization is under UV light (Common stationary phases in TLC)
Silica gel GF254
Used for identification of tetracyclines (Common stationary phases in TLC)
Cellulose
Used as a solid support for stationary phases in analysis of fixed oils (Common stationary phases in TLC)
Kieselguhr G
Dark spots at 254 nm or fluorescent spots at 365 nm (Detection of compounds in TLC plates)
Ultraviolet light
Brown spots, which disappear upon exposure to air (Detection of compounds in TLC plates)
Iodine vapors
