[Readers Insight] Does Hydrogen Bonding Exist between Acetonitrile and Water?
The existence of hydrogen bonding in acetonitrile-water solutions is a fundamental question. In this article, we will discuss the question in details, including the physicochemical properties of acetonitrile and water, the interaction that takes place when acetonitrile is dissolved in water, and the abnormalities that may occur when using acetonitrile-water solutions as mobile phase or for sample extraction. -
[Readers Insight] Why Mobile Phase Alterations Can Reverse Elution Order
Poor resolution is challenging, but elution order reversal is even perplexing. In this article, the author discusses three primary factors that cause peaks to elute inversed when mobile phase changes: pH, organic modifier, and buffer salt. -
[Readers Insight] What Happens If Formic Acid Was Replaced by Acetic Acid in HPLC Analysis?
In this article, we discuss the catastrophic results one would get if they replace formic acid in the mobile phase by acetic acid in an HPLC experiment. -
[Readers Insight] When to Use Acetone as a Mobile Phase?
Acetone is a versatile solvent in chromatography, yet its application as an HPLC mobile phase remains limited to specific cases like Sudan dye analysis. This article explores the reasons behind the rare use of acetone and summarizes the key considerations when using acetone as a mobile phase. -
