<strong>HPLC</strong> <strong>Column</strong> <strong>Selection</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>linesZORBAX Reversed-Phase <strong>HPLC</strong> <strong>Column</strong> <strong>Selection</strong> Flow ChartFor small and large moleculesMost chromatographers use reversed-phase <strong>HPLC</strong> as one of their key analysis techniques. Reversed-phase <strong>HPLC</strong> can be used to analyze ionicand nonionic analytes. Therefore this ZORBAX <strong>Column</strong> <strong>Selection</strong> Flow Chart will focus on reversed-phase columns. To more easily select areversed-phase column for method development of small and large molecules, follow the outline on these pages.This flow chart provides information on choosing an initial column for method development of small molecule and protein and peptide samples,and includes decisions on bonded phase and column configuration.Small MoleculesMW < 2000Large MoleculesMW > 200080-120ÅPacking Pore Size300ÅFirst choice of a packing pore size is based on the size of molecules to be analyzed. Typical small molecules can diffuse easily in and out of standard80-120Å pore packings, but peptides and proteins may not. For this reason, it is recommended to use 300Å pore-size packings (300SB)for isocratic or gradient separations of peptides and proteins.Eclipse Plus C18Starting <strong>Column</strong> Bonded PhaseStableBond 300SB-C18A C18 is recommended as the starting column bonded phase for most samples since it maximizes retention for moderately polar to non-polar compounds.Shorter chain phases should be considered if resolution cannot be optimized with a C18 phase or if you are analyzing larger proteins.4.6 mm<strong>Column</strong> Diameter4.6 mm<strong>Column</strong> diameter defines how much material (mass) you can inject on a column – the smaller the diameter, the less material that can beinjected while maintaining good peak shape. Smaller diameter columns provide increased sensitivity and thereforeare commonly used for LC/MS and sample limited applications.<strong>Column</strong> TypeInnerDiameter (mm)Sample Load(approx) Typical Flow RateIncreasedSensitivity ApplicationsAnalytical 4.6 0.1-1.5 mg 0.5-3 mL/min Standard separationsSolvent Saver 3.0 150-500 ug 0.3-1.5 mL/min + Save solvent, uses standard <strong>HPLC</strong> instrumentNarrowBore 2.1 50-120 ug 0.1-0.5 mL/min ++ High sensitivity, limited sample, LC/MS, save solventMicrobore 1.0 10-50 ug 10-100 µL/min ++++ High sensitivity, limited sample, LC/MSCapillary 0.5, 0.3 1-10 ug 1-15 µL/min +++++ Very high sensitivity, LC/MS, peptides and proteinsNano 0.1, 0.075 100-200 ng 200-500 nL/min ++++++ Very high sensitivity, LC/MS, peptides and proteinsSemi-Prep 9.4 1-10 mg 5-10 mL/min mg preparative separationsPreparative 21.2 20-250 mg 20-60 mL/min Hundreds of milligrams up to 1 gram6 Order online at www.agilent.com/chem/store


<strong>HPLC</strong> <strong>Column</strong> <strong>Selection</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>linesSmall MoleculesMW < 2000Large MoleculesMW > 20005 and 3.5 µmStandard Porous Particle Size5 µmFor conventional analyses of small and large molecules, the standard particle size is 5 µm. However, smaller particle sizes are availableand provide higher efficiency and higher resolution. They are also available in short column lengths.A 3.5 µm particle may be the preferred starting particle size because it provides scalability up to 5 µm and down to 1.8 µm without requiring method revalidation.Fast Analysis Particle SizesRapid Resolution 3.5 µmRapid Resolution HT 1.8 µmRapid Resolution HD 1.8 µmRapid Resolution 3.5 µm particles provide 60% greater efficiency than 5 µmparticles while Rapid Resolution HT 600 bar and Rapid Resolution HD 1200 bar1.8 µm particles provide 200% greater efficiency. Shorter columns can be usedto significantly reduce analysis time of small molecules.Rapid Resolution 3.5 µmPoroshell 5 µmFor peptides, Rapid Resolution 3.5 µm particles can be used withshorter columns for faster, high-resolution gradient analyses.But for proteins, Poroshell columns, with a solid core andporous shell, provide the fastest analysis.150 mm <strong>Column</strong> Length150 mmA conventional column length is 150 mm or 250 mm for high resolution with5 µm particles. This is a good place to start a typical analysis because it will providehigh resolution in a 20-30 minute analysis. For fast analysis, shorter columns(75 mm and 50 mm) with smaller particle sizes (3.5 µm) should be used.For proteins and peptide digests, 150 mm is also a good starting column length.The typical gradient time on a column of this length will be 30-60 minutes fora high-resolution analysis. For fast analysis, shorter columns (50 mm)with smaller particles (3.5 µm) should be used.Starting <strong>Column</strong> ChoicesSmall MoleculesLarge MoleculesStandard AnalysisFast AnalysisStandard AnalysisFast AnalysisEclipse Plus C184.6 x 150 mm, 5 µm959993-9024.6 x 150 mm, 3.5 µm959963-902Rapid ResolutionEclipse Plus C184.6 x 75 mm, 3.5 µm959933-902Rapid Resolution HT,600 barEclipse Plus C184.6 x 50 mm, 1.8 µm959941-902Narrow Bore RRHD,1200 bar *Eclipse Plus C182.1 x 50 mm, 1.8 µm959757-902ZORBAX 300SB-C184.6 x 150 mm, 5 µm883995-902Rapid ResolutionZORBAX 300SB-C184.6 x 50 mm, 3.5 µm865973-902Poroshell 300SB-C182.1 x 75 mm, 5 µm660750-902* First choice for use on the 1290 Infinity LC or other U<strong>HPLC</strong> instruments with 1000 barpressure limitsOrder online at www.agilent.com/chem/store7


<strong>HPLC</strong> <strong>Column</strong> <strong>Selection</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>lines<strong>Column</strong> and Mobile Phase <strong>Guide</strong>lines:Reversed Phase<strong>HPLC</strong> columns consist of two parts, the column chemistry and hardware. For the propercolumn chemistry, consult the catalog section for each type of bonded phase. For choosingcolumn hardware and particle sizes, consult the section on column sizes and rapidseparations, including <strong>Agilent</strong> ZORBAX Rapid Resolution and Rapid Resolution HTcolumns, as well as Solvent Saver and Capillary columns and PrepHT columns.For more information aboutcolumn selection, visitwww.zorbaxmethod.comPore Size <strong>Selection</strong>Choose a column packing with small pore (60-120Å) if the solute molecular weight is lessthan about 5000. Otherwise, use column packing with the 300Å pore size.Particle Size <strong>Selection</strong>The standard particle size for <strong>HPLC</strong> columns is 5 µm with 3.5 µm now dominant for methoddevelopment. If high-speed analyses or higher resolution analyses are required, packing with1.8 µm and 3.5 µm particles can be used. Shorter columns with these particles can producefaster high-resolution separations, with the 1.8 µm particle size in Rapid Resolution HTcolumns, providing the highest efficiency. The 3.5 µm particle size operates at a routineoperating pressure and can be used on all LC's. Short (50 mm and shorter) 1.8 µm RRHTcolumns can be used on optimized standard LC's, while the longer columns may requirea higher pressure LC (one supporting pressures greater than 400 bar).<strong>Column</strong> ConfigurationThe column sizes most often recommended for analytical method development are4.6 x 150 mm or 4.6 x 75 mm. If more resolution is needed, use a longer column,4.6 x 250 mm or the same size column with a smaller particle size. During methoddevelopment, choose the column internal diameter (e.g., 2.1, 3.0 mm) to accommodateadditional application objectives (e.g., sensitivity, solvent usage) or compatibility with certaininstrument types (capillary, nano, or prep).8 Order online at www.agilent.com/chem/store


<strong>HPLC</strong> <strong>Column</strong> <strong>Selection</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>linesSilica Type and Bonded PhaseSilica Type<strong>Agilent</strong> ZORBAX reversed phase columns use three different types of porous silicamicrospheres, the original ZORBAX SIL, ZORBAX Rx-SIL and modified ZORBAX Rx-SIL.ZORBAX Rx-SIL and modified ZORBAX Rx-SIL are highly purified and less acidic than theoriginal ZORBAX SIL. Less acidic silica means less potential for interaction between theanalyte and silanol groups on the silica surface, especially if the solutes are basic, andcontributes to improved peak shape. For new method development, we strongly recommendusing reversed-phase products based on modified ZORBAX Rx-SIL (Eclipse Plus) and ZORBAXRx-SIL (Eclipse, StableBond etc.). However, many excellent methods have been developedon reversed phase columns based on ZORBAX SIL and we continue to manufacture thesehigh quality, reliable products.Bonded PhaseA good first choice for bonded phase is C18 or C8. If the sample solutes of interest are notadequately separated on these columns, CN and Phenyl columns may offer significantdifferences in selectivity from the straight-chain alkyl phases to effect the separation.In general, larger solutes, such as proteins, are best separated on short-chain reversed-phasecolumns (C3, CN) and peptides and small molecules are separated on longer-chain columns(C8, C18). However, there are many cases where this conventional wisdom does not apply.For example, peptides can also be effectively separated using short-chain columns, andhydrophobic peptides can show better recovery on longer-chain phases. Therefore, it is bestto initially select a phase in the middle of the hydrophobic spectrum (e.g., C8), then change toa more hydrophobic phase or more hydrophilic phase depending on initial results and solubilityproperties of your sample.Order online at www.agilent.com/chem/store9


<strong>HPLC</strong> <strong>Column</strong> <strong>Selection</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>linespH and Mobile PhaseThe choice of mobile phase for a reversed-phase system starts with selecting the organicmodifier. Selectivity differences and sample retention will vary significantly among mobilephases containing acetonitrile, methanol, and tetrahydrofuran (THF). Sample solubility is likelyto differ in such solvents and dictate use of a specific solvent or solvents. UV detection atcertain wavelengths is not possible with certain modifiers (e.g., methanol at 200 nm).Both pH and ionic strength of the aqueous portion of mobile phases are important parametersin developing rugged methods that are not sensitive to small variations in conditions. Withionic compounds, retention of typical species shows significant changes with pH. It is veryimportant to control pH in such reversed-phase systems to stabilize retention and bandspacing. A pH set between 2 and 4 generally provides the most stable conditions for retentionvs. small changes in pH, and this pH is recommended for starting method development formost samples, including basic compounds and typical weak acids.<strong>HPLC</strong> <strong>Column</strong>StationaryPhase<strong>Column</strong>DimensionsType ofSurfacePore SizeParticleSizeLengthInnerDiameterChemical PropertiesChemical Lifetime/SelectivityRetention FactorPhysical PropertiesEfficiencySensitivitySpeed10 Order online at www.agilent.com/chem/store

<strong>HPLC</strong> <strong>Column</strong> <strong>Selection</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>linesMethod Development from pH 1-12Chromatographic resolution between two ormore peaks depends upon three factors –column efficiency, selectivity, and retention.With ionizable analytes – bases and acids –all of these factors change dramatically withpH. For example, retention can be improvedby changing the separation pH, so thatanalytes are separated in their non-ionizedform. Changes in mobile phase pH alsoimprove column efficiency because theionization of the analyte and the residualsilanols can both be altered. This minimizessecondary interactions between analytesand the silica surface that cause poor peakshape. Achieving optimum resolution canalso require changing the mobile phase pH.The following method development strategyexplains how this is done with superiorcolumn lifetime.Low, mid, and high pH are the three generalregions for chromatographic separationsas defined in Figure 1. This figure highlightsthe benefits of performing separations ofionizable analytes in each pH region.Method development proceeds byinvestigating chromatographic separationsfirst at low pH and then at higher pH untiloptimum results are achieved. The idealcolumn is available for each pH region.Analyte chargeSilica surface chargeRetention TimeIon exchange secondary interactionRecommended bonded phaseneutralNOEclipse Plus orStableBond+ /neutral neutralneutral/-YESEclipse Plus or Bonus-RPFigure 1: Three pH Regions for <strong>HPLC</strong> Separations of Basic CompoundsThis figure represents the retention behavior of one basic analyte with respect to pKa and pH. Analyte pKa is 6.5NOExtend-C18Low pH < 3 – Region A Mid pH 7 – Region B High pH > 9 – Region C Start method development atlow pH, where silanols on aRP-<strong>HPLC</strong> column are protonated.This minimizes peak tailing byeliminating silanol/baseinteractions. At low pH, basic compoundsare positively charged and theirretention may be reduced. Acidic compounds may beprotonated and have increasedretention. Retention times are usuallystable with small changes in pH,producing a robust method. Volatile mobile phase additives,such as formic acid ortrifluoroacetic acid (TFA),are often used at low pHwith LC/MS. Develop methods at pHs at least1 pH unit above or below thepKa to minimize changes inretention with small changesin pH. Some silica surface SiOHgroups become SiO¯ abovepH 4 to 5; tailing interactionsmay be possible. Minimize interactions byselecting a well designed andendcapped column, usingadditives such as TEA(triethylamine) (less desirable)or using "polar-linked"bonded phases. Silica breakdown is preventedby innovative bonding chemistry,heavy endcapping, and useof Rx-SIL. In this region, basic compoundsmay be in their free base form. Increased retention andresolution of basic compoundsare likely. Retention changes little in thisregion, thus robust methods canbe developed. Silica breakdown is preventedby innovative bidentate columnchemistry, heavy endcapping,use of Rx-SIL, and optimummobile phase.

<strong>HPLC</strong> <strong>Column</strong> <strong>Selection</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>linesStart method development at low pH (pH 2-3)With so many column choices available, how do you know where to start your methoddevelopment? The recommended starting point for method development is using a bufferedlow pH mobile phase – around pH 2-3. Using a low pH mobile phase most often resultsin the best peak shape for basic compounds on silica-based columns. At low pH, the silanolson the silica are fully protonated so positively charged basic compounds do not interactstrongly. The result is good peak shape. Many acidic compounds are non-charged,maximizing their retention at low pH. These observations are key advantages to methoddevelopment at low pH.For standard analytical work, start method development with acetonitrile as the mobile phaseorganic modifier and 20-50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 2-3) as the aqueous component fornon-LC/MS applications. These conditions provide good pH control, necessary for the mostreproducible analyses of ionizable compounds. For LC/MS applications formic acid or TFAare good mobile phase additives for low pH.Choose <strong>Agilent</strong> ZORBAX Eclipse Plus first for best peak shapeSelect ZORBAX Eclipse Plus C18 or C8 columns first for method development at low pH.Eclipse Plus columns are the newest addition to the Eclipse family and use improved silicaand bonding technologies to provide good peak shape for basic compounds. Eclipse Pluscolumns can be used from pH 2-9 providing method development flexibility.

But ifmore optimization is needed, acetonitrile can be replaced by methanol or tetrahydrofuran andthe separation re-optimized. This step may lead to a satisfactory solution, but if still moreselectivity optimization is needed, the column bonded phase can be changed.At low pH there are many bonded phase choices available for optimization. These include theEclipse Plus phases as well as the Eclipse XDB family with C18, C8, Phenyl and CN. Alternatechoices include six different StableBond bonded phases: SB-C18, SB-C8, SB-Phenyl, SB-CN,SB-C3, and SB-Aq.It may be necessary at low pH to improve the retention of acidic compounds. For thesesituations, lower the pH even further, down to pH 1-2, and use StableBond columns. Thesecolumns provide the greatest stability at very low pH and provide many selectivity optionsfor achieving the highest resolution separations.Choose <strong>Agilent</strong> ZORBAX Eclipse Plusfor method development at mid pH (4-9)There are some samples that may not be resolved at low pH or may have better solubilityand stability at mid pH. While still using the Eclipse Plus C18 column, the mid pH range canbe used for method development. The Eclipse Plus column is stable up to pH 9 so it is equallyreliable at mid pH. These double endcapped columns have two key advantages – good peakshape at low and mid pH, as well as sufficient bonded phase density to protect the columnfrom silica degradation from pH 6-9.At mid pH, basic compounds (e.g., amines) may still have a positive charge and the silanolson the silica surface may have a negative charge. Therefore covering as many silanols aspossible leads to the best peak shape at mid pH. This makes the Eclipse Plus C18 the beststarting choice for a column at mid pH. Phosphate buffer is usually the first choice for mobilephase modifier at pH 7 because its buffer range is pH 6.1-8.1. A second choice for mid pHis acetate buffer since it buffers from pH 3.8-5.8 and its volatility makes it a good choice forLC/MS compatibility.Order online at www.agilent.com/chem/store15


<strong>HPLC</strong> <strong>Column</strong> <strong>Selection</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>linesSelect from <strong>Agilent</strong> ZORBAX Eclipse Plus Phenyl-Hexyl,Eclipse XDB-Phenyl, CN and Bonus-RPThe method development process at mid pH mimics the process at low pH with optimizationof the organic modifier and selecting an alternate bonded phase if resolution is not achievedafter that step. The alternate bonded phases at mid pH are the Eclipse Plus Phenyl-Hexyl,Eclipse XDB-Phenyl, Eclipse XDB-CN and Bonus-RP. They provide very different selectivitiesfor many samples and the method development process is followed again. The Bonus-RPcolumn has a polar embedded amide group that provides different selectivity for manysamples, provides good peak shape for basic compounds and allows the column to be usedwith up to 100% aqueous mobile phases.Choose <strong>Agilent</strong> ZORBAX Extend-C18 columnsfor method development at high pH (pH 9-12)At low or mid pH, some separations of basic compounds may still not have enough retentionor the desired selectivity. For these samples, high pH separations may be appropriate. Untilrecently, high pH separations on silica-based columns were avoided because of short columnlifetimes, due to dissolution of the underlying silica gel. Newer column technologies, i.e. theZORBAX Extend-C18, can protect the silica from dissolution, so that a reasonable columnlifetime can be achieved and the selectivity advantages of high pH can be explored.The mobile phase buffer choices at high pH with the Extend-C18 column are organic bufferslike triethylamine and ammonium hydroxide. These buffers are best used with methanol asthe organic modifier to extend the column lifetime at high pH.16 Order online at www.agilent.com/chem/store

These columns provide good peak shape over awide pH range (2-9) for additional method development flexibility with one family of columns.Eclipse XDB columns can be used for method development at low pH (2-3) and the samecolumn can be used for method development in the mid pH (6-8) region. In the mid pH regionresidual silanols are more active and tailing interactions are more likely. To overcome theseinteractions, Eclipse XDB columns are eXtra Densely Bonded and double endcapped througha proprietary process to cover as many active silanols as possible. The result is superior peakshape of basic compounds from pH 2-9.

At low pH, Eclipse, an end capped column is extremely stable and shows equivalent stability to a non-endcappedcolumn, SB-C8, at pH 3. The columns were purged with a pH 3 mobile phase at 60°C. Then they were tested with a strongly basic compound to determine if the endcappingor bonded phase had been hydrolyzed from the silica surface. The Eclipse XDB column was very stable, as shown by the consistency of the retention of amitriptyline overthe 12,000 column volumes of the test.

<strong>Column</strong>s for Analytical <strong>HPLC</strong>ZORBAX 80Å Extend-C18OSiC18• High efficiency and long life at high pH – up to pH 11.5• Unique bidentate bonding and double endcapping provides high pH stability• More efficiency and better peak shape than polymer-based columns• Improve retention, resolution and peak shape of basic compounds• High sensitivity for LC/MS separations of peptidesSiO C18Silica SupportThe <strong>Agilent</strong> ZORBAX Extend-C18 column uses a novel bidentate C18-C18 bonding technologyto make it possible to develop high-resolution separations at high pH with a silica-basedcolumn. At high pH, non-charged basic compounds will not interact with the underlying silica.The result is high efficiency separations with superior peak shape and improved resolution.High pH separations are also the best choice for compounds that are more stable or moresoluble in high pH solutions. Some of the mobile phase buffer options for high pH includetriethylamine, pyrrolidine, glycine, borate and ammonium hydroxide. Ammonium hydroxideat pH 10.5 is an excellent mobile phase modifier for the LC/MS of peptides and smallmolecules with improved sensitivity compared with TFA containing mobile phase at low pH.The Extend-C18 column is stable from pH 2-11.5 with good peak shape for all types ofcompounds.

<strong>Column</strong>s for Special ApplicationsZORBAX Solvent Saver• Provide 60% reduction in mobile phase usage and waste generation comparedto a 4.6 mm ID column• Provide 2- to 3-fold signal-to-noise (S/N ratio) improvement• Deliver optimal LC/MS performance at intermediate flow rates• Can be used with most conventional LC instrument configurations without modification• Solvent Saver columns are available in 1.8, 3.5 and 5 µm particle sizes<strong>Agilent</strong> ZORBAX Solvent Saver columns have a 3.0 mm internal diameter. This is ideal forreducing solvent usage by 50% over 4.6 mm ID columns. Solvent Saver columns are alsoideal for LC/MS. With a typical flow rate of 0.5 ml/min, these columns are compatible withalmost all LC interfaces. These columns also improve sensitivity 2 to 3 times over 4.6 mm IDcolumns. Solvent Saver columns can be used with conventional <strong>HPLC</strong> instruments and area good choice for cost effective analyses.Solvent Saver <strong>Column</strong>s Provide up to 60% Reductionin Solvent Use and Waste<strong>Column</strong> A:<strong>Column</strong> B:ZORBAX SB-C18883975-9024.6 x 150 mm, 5 µmZORBAX SB-C18883975-3023.0 x 150 mm, 5 µmMobile Phase: 20% ACN: 80% 0.2 M Na 2 HPO 4+ 0.1 M Citric Acid, pH 2.6Temperature: AmbientSample:AntibacterialsA1Less solventconsumption, less wasteB11.

For small peptides, Molecular Weight (MW) < 2000, please follow the method development strategy for small and largemolecules in the reference section of this guide. For efficient separations of large molecules, columns with a wide-pore size (300Å) arerequired. For method development of larger peptides and proteins, review the suggested guidelines outlined below. Wide-pore columnchoices are described in the following section of this <strong>Column</strong> <strong>Selection</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>.Choose the Initial <strong>Column</strong> and Conditions for Proteins and PeptidesPeptides, Polypeptides, ProteinsMW < 50 kDAPeptides, Polypeptides, ProteinsMW < 1,000 kDAInitial Bonded Phase ChoiceStableBond 300SB-C8300 SB columns are wide-pore columns with unbeatable lifetime inTFA-containing mobile phases. This makes them an ideal first choicefor separations of peptides and proteins.• C8 is an excellent starting bonded phase because of its moderatehydrophobicity.• C18 and C8 are generally selected for peptides and protein digestsbut can also be used for proteins.• C3, C4 and CN are generally selected for larger, hydrophobicpolypeptides and proteins but can also be used for peptides.Poroshell 300SB-C18Poroshell 300SB columns use an innovative particle technology todeliver rapid protein separations. Short analysis times with efficientpeaks are easily obtained with Poroshell columns.• C18 is a good starting bonded phase choice with Poroshell formost peptides, polypeptides and proteins because the retention ismaximized.• C8 is generally selected for moderate size proteins but can be usedwith polypeptides or very large proteins.• C3 is generally selected for antibodies or large proteins but can beused for peptides and polypeptides.Initial Separation Conditions<strong>Column</strong>:Mobile Phase:Gradient:Temperature:Flow Rate:StableBond 300SB-C84.6 x 150 mm, 3.5 or 5 µm883995-906863973-906A: 95% H 2 O:5% ACN with 0.1% TFAB: 5% H 2 O:95% ACN with 0.085% TFA0-60% B in 60 min35-40°C1 mL/min<strong>Column</strong>:Mobile Phase:Gradient:Temperature:Flow Rate:Poroshell 300SB-C182.1 x 75 mm, 5 µm660750-902A: 95% H 2 O:5% ACN with 0.1% TFAB: 5% H 2 O:95% ACN with 0.085% TFA0-60% B in 10 min35-40°C2 mL/min106 Order online at www.agilent.com/chem/store


<strong>Column</strong>s for Bioanalytical ChromatographyStart at low pH with simple aqueous/organic gradientTypically a Water/Acetonitrile with 0.1% TFA gradient is used to elute all components of interest. A typical high resolution gradient on a 300Åpore size column requires 30-50 min. A Poroshell column requires a shorter analysis time and a higher flow rate and still provides exceptionalresolution. Then to improve resolution, increase the gradient time, decrease column length, or increase flow rate.Optimize sample solubilityFor best peak shape and recovery at any pH, it is important to solubilize a sample completely. Highly acidic or neutral solvents can be used withZORBAX 300StableBond and Poroshell 300SB, while neutral solvents and dilute bases can be used with ZORBAX 300Extend-C18.Solvent choices to solubilize proteins and peptidesWater/Phosphate BufferDilute Acid (TFA, Acetic Acid or HCl)Neutral pH, 6-8 M Guanidine-HCl or Isothiocyanate5% HOAc/6 M UreaDilute Acid + Aqueous/Organic Solvents (ACE, MeOH, THF)Dilute Base (Ammonioum Hydroxide)DMSO or 0.1%-1% TFA in DMSOFormamideWeakestStrongestRaise the temperatureSeparations of proteins and peptides are influenced by temperature and higher column temperature can dramatically improve both resolutionand recovery of proteins and hydrophobic and aggregating peptides.StableBond 300SB – up to 80°C Poroshell 300SB – up to 80°COptimize mobile phase pHTry mid and high pH if low pH does not workIf an optimized low pH method does not provide an ideal separation, then mid or high pH mobile phase can be used. At high pH selectivity isoften very different because acidic amino acids become negatively charged and some basic amino acids may lose their charge. ZORBAX300Extend-C18 is an excellent choice for mid to high pH separation.<strong>Column</strong>:Mobile Phase:Gradient:Temperature:Flow Rate:300Extend-C184.6 x 150 mm, 5 µm773995-902A: 20 mM NH 4 OH in H 2 OB: 20 mM NH 4 OH in 80% ACN5-60% B in 30 minutes25-30°C (

LC/MS is used to provide proteinidentification in 2-D separations for proteomics applications. Therefore, LC/MS of proteins and peptides is a critical separation area, whichrequires some special column and mobile phase recommendations. In general, smaller column sizes are used for LC/MS and TFA is generallynot used in mobile phase because of reduced sensitivity in the MS with this mobile phase additive.Initial <strong>Column</strong> Choices for LC/MS Separations of Proteins and PolypeptidesAnalytical LC/MS Applications – 2.1 mm ID columns will provide good sensitivitywhen sample size is not limited.

The first step is normally to replace TFA with0.1-1.0% formic acid. Acetic acid, up to 1%, can also be used asan alternative mobile phase modifier. At low pH, the best separationmay still be obtained with TFA in the mobile phase. In some cases,the TFA can be displaced post column with an alternate acid,such as propionic acid.LC/MS can also be done at high pH with 10-20 mM NH 4 OHas a mobile phase additive.Order online at www.agilent.com/chem/store109

<strong>Column</strong>s for Bioanalytical ChromatographyZORBAX 300Å StableBondSterically Protected 300StableBond Bonded Phase<strong>Agilent</strong> ZORBAX 300StableBond columns are an ideal choice for the reproducible separationsof proteins and peptides for two key reasons. First, wide-pore, 300Å columns are necessaryfor an efficient separation of proteins and peptides, or other large molecules, in order to allowthese analytes to completely access the bonded phase. Second, 300StableBond columnsare unmatched in their durability at low pH, such as with the TFA containing mobile phasestypically used for protein and peptide separations. For LC/MS separations at low pH,300StableBond columns can also be used with formic acid and acetic acid mobile phasemodifiers. These columns are available in four different bonded phases (C18, C8, C3,and CN) for selectivity and recovery optimization of proteins and polypeptides. To furtherincrease sample recovery and improve efficiency for difficult proteins, 300StableBondcolumns can be used up to 80-90°C. 300SB-C18 and 300SB-C8 columns are an ideal choicefor complex protein and protein digest separations. These columns are available in capillary(0.3, 0.5 mm ID) and nano (0.075 and 0.10 mm ID) dimensions for reversed-phase LC/MSseparations of these protein digests. Capillary and nano columns can be used for either1-D or 2-D proteomics separations.<strong>Column</strong> SpecificationsBonded PhasePoreSizeSurfaceAreaTemp.Limits* pH Range*EndcappedCarbonLoadZORBAX 300SB-C18 300Å 45 m 2 /g 90°C 1.0-8.0 No 2.8%ZORBAX 300SB-C8 300Å 45 m 2 /g 80°C 1.0-8.0 No 1.5%ZORBAX 300SB-C3 300Å 45 m 2 /g 80°C 1.0-8.0 No 1.1%ZORBAX 300SB-CN 300Å 45 m 2 /g 80°C 1.0-8.0 No 1.2%Specifications represent typical values only.*300StableBond columns are designed for optimal use at low pH.
