WHAT IS AQUEOUS NORMAL PHASE RETENTION? A continuum of retention that provides a transition from the reversed-phase to the normal phase modes with water as a constituent in the mobile phase Three distinct retention patterns are possible: 1. No overlap of reversed phase and normal phase retention for two or more compounds. 2. Overlap of reversed phase and normal phase retention for two or more compounds. 3. Individual compounds that can be retained by both reversed phase and normal phase modes.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AQUEOUS NORMAL PHASE AND HILIC Aqueous Normal Phase Silica Hydride-Based Column

• Retains nonpolar compounds by reversed phase mechanism • Retains polar compounds by normal phase mechanism • Both reversed phase and normal phase mechanisms can operate simultaneously • Can separate samples with both polar and nonpolar compounds

Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography (HILIC) uses ordinary Silica-Based Column or zwitterionic polymers

• Retains polar compounds by a normal phase mechanism • Does not retain nonpolar compounds • Cannot usually separate samples having both polar and nonpolar compounds

USE OF VARIOUS MOBILE PHASE SOLVENTS IN ANP

Acetonitrile is the most common organic mobile phase component for ANP but others are possible

Methanol is usually only possible with strongly basic compounds

L-Alanine L-Arginine L-Aspartic acid L-Cystine L-Glutamic acid L-Glycine L-Histidine L-Isoleucine L-Leucine L-Lysine L-Methionine L-Phenylalanine L-Proline L-Serine L-Threonine L-Tyrosine L-Valine

GRADIENT REPRODUCIBILITY

The table shows retention time reproducibility for nine amino acids at two temperatures. Four replicates were performed at each temperature. The reproducibility was 0.28% or better for the amino acids. This is a significant improvement over what is usually observed for most HILIC analyses, especially considering this is gradient data with only a 5 minute re-equilibration time between runs.
