必威体育登录手机Agilent Preparative LC Scaling Calculator
This calculator can help you:
- Scale analytical method parameters to your preparative column.Calculate key method parameters (like flow rate, injection volume, or gradient) for your preparative column.The calculator also accounts for differences in particle size, column lengths and system dwell volumes to ensure seamless scale up.
- Scale preparative method conditions to your analytical column.Calculate analytical method conditions based on an established preparative method.This can be helpful when investigating analytical columns with alternate dimensions and particle sizes to improve screening throughput.
- Calculate column capacity and total number of injections.Use the column capacity and injection number to determine the perfect size preparative column for your purification campaign.
- Calculate time and mobile phase consumption.Use these values to manage solvent inventory and instrumentation scheduling.

Determine the dwell volume
Use the following step gradient method to determine the dwell volume of a chromatographic system.
- Prepare solvent A: 100 % water
- Prepare solvent B: 99 % acetonitrile and 1 % acetone
- Replace the column by a restriction capillary 0.005" id (0.12 mm id) × 750 mm.
- Set the detection wavelength to 263 nm.
- Run a step gradient at 4 minutes from 10 to 90 % B at a flow rate of 2 mL/min.
- Calculate the time difference (tdwell) between the programmed gradient and the obtained signal curve at 50 %.
- vdwellcan be calculated from vdwell= tdwell× f
Note that when using sample loops with volumes larger than 5 mL, the flow rate needs to be increased.A good compromise is to keep the flow rate equal to the loop size.
