TSK-GEL HILIC Columns

Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) is used primarily for the separation of polar and hydrophilic compounds. HILIC has similarities with traditional normal phase chromatography, but the mobile phases for HILIC are similar to those known from reversed phase chromatography (RPC). They include polar organic solvents like methanol or acetonitrile and water.

Compared to RPC the elution order in HILIC mode is inversed for most substances. HILIC is often used to separate hydrophilic compounds such as peptides, carbohydrates and small polar drug candidates or metabolites. Hydrophilic compounds are retained on the polarbonded phase column while nonpolar sample impurities elute unretained in the void volume. In addition it is ideally suited for sensitive LC-MS analysis of water soluble polar compounds because the high organic content in the mobile phase provides rapid evaporation of solvent during electrospray ionization.

The TSK-GEL AMIDE-80 column offers an excellent alternative to amino-bonded stationary phases and consists of 3, 5 or 10 µm silica particles in a stainless steel format. Spherical silica particles are covalently bonded with carbamoyl groups. Based on hydrogen bonds the aqueous content of the mobile phase creates a waterrich layer on the particle surface. This allows for partitioning of polar compounds between the more organic mobile phase and the aqueous layer. The number of polar groups, as well as the conformation and solubility of the sample in the mobile phase determines the elution order. Typical mobile phases consist of acetonitrile buffer mixtures. Samples are eluted from the column by increasing the percentage of the aqueous component.

For years TSKgel Amide-80 columns have been the standard for the analysis of glycans. TSKgel Amide-80 columns packed with 3 µm particles are the newest addition to the TSKgel Amide-80 series. The 3 µm HILIC columns reduce analysis time and improve peak capacity and sensitivity for HPLC and LC-MS analysis.
 
Applications
 

Small polar molecule drugs:
TSKgel Amide-80 is a valuable tool for the analysis of small, polar molecule drugs that cannot be retained very well by reversed phase LC columns.
Figure 1 compares the separation of polar, drug standards with detection by electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (ESIMS) in HILIC mode compared to reversed phase mode. Due to the high organic content of the eluent HILIC analysis provides increased detection sensitivity.

Polyalcohols
Polyalcohols are typically separated with a mobile phase of organic solvent and water as shown in Figure 2 for a 3 μm TSKgel Amide-80 column compared to a 5 μm column.

Oligosaccharides
The TSKgel Amide-80 can separate oligosaccharides very rapidly and efficiently. Figure 3 shows a separation of a ß-cyclodextrin hydrolysate in less than 10 minutes. The labels indicate the number of base sugars such as glucose in each oligomer.

NOTE: Tosoh Bioscience offers guard columns and guard cartridges to protect your analytical column.
Guard cartridges are usually delivered in packages of three and require the appropriate cartridge holder.
In general cartridges for 4.6 mm ID columns are produced in 3.2 mm ID and 1.5 cm length.
They require the cartridge holder 19018.
Guard cartridges for 2 mm ID columns are 2 mm ID x 1 cm L and require holder 19308.
