Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONLiquid exclusion chromatography (LEC) began as “gel filtration chromatography” which isattributed to Pora

3、th and Flodin.2With the invention of new column packings by Moore3fororganic-phase work a new form of LEC developed which commonly became known as gel permeationchromatography or GPC. Liquid exclusion chromatography is a form of liquid chromatography (someother forms being partition, ion-exchange, a

4、nd adsorption) and as such is the preferred name for thetechnique; however, the reader must be aware that other names are common in the literature, the mostprevalent being those cited above. LEC differs from all other chromatographic techniques in that onlythe exclusion mechanism may be operative if

5、 meaningful data are to result. Most other chromato-graphic mechanisms operate in essentially the opposite way, that is, with small molecules exiting first.Any combination of mechanisms causes confusion and is misleading.Liquid exclusion chromatography as used for the analysis of polymers has grown

6、and matured sincethe first issuance of this practice in 1972. Therefore, some infrequently used or “outdated” terms havebeen deleted and some modern practices (or terms) have been included. Modern developments includethe use of constant-volume pumps, use of “microparticle” column packings and much s

7、mallercolumns, and automated data-handling procedures. In addition, SI units as recommended in ASTMStandard IEEE/ASTM SI 10 for Metric Practice are now used.1. Scope*1.1 This practice covers the definitions of terms and sym-bols most often used in liquid exclusion chromatography.Wherever possible, t

Performance in Terms of Re

19、solution, ColumnEfficiency, and Precision5.1 Resolution is the resultant of two effects, the separatingpower of the column packing and the efficiency or peakbroadening. The separating power of the column packing isdependent on pore size and pore volume. Peak broadeningdepends on the nature of the co

20、lumn packings, on how well thecolumns are packed, and on instrumental components externalto the columns. The equations used in LEC (GPC) are similarto those used in other chromatographic techniques. Referencemay be made to any standard chromatography text. Resolutionfor any two samples is defined by

21、 the following equation:R1,25 2VR12 VR2!/W11 W2! (1)where subscripts 1 and 2 refer to samples 1 and 2. (See tablesfor symbols used in this equation.) For complete separation,R1,2must be 1.25 or greater.5.2 Column efficiency is a measure of peak spreading or therate of generation of variance with col

22、umn length. For amonodisperse material, efficiency is the number of theoreticalplates, N, for the entire system defined as follows: (See tablesfor symbols used in this equation.)N 5 16VR/W!2or s5N/VR(2)This expression includes all contributions to peak broaden-ing.5.3 Precision and accuracy are used

23、 according to theiraccepted definitions. Precision is inherent to the system. Bothprecision and accuracy are dependent on the method ofcalibration and treatment of the data as well as on the resolvingpower of the columns. The accuracy must be determined bycomparison with other methods. For example,

24、the molecular-weight distribution can be compared with that obtained fromequilibrium ultracentrifugation. More commonly the weight-and number-average molecular weights computed from theLEC (GPC) trace are compared with those measured by lightscattering, (both static and on-line), osmometry, and on-l

TheseFIG. 1 Typical ChromatogramD 3016 97 (2003)2terms are intended for use where the primary mechanism ofseparati

30、on depends on the size of the solute molecules. Thehydrodynamic volume of polymers usually may be related toVRindependent of molecular weight and structure, for example,in describing the exclusion limit. Hydrodynamic volume isrelated to the product of intrinsic viscosity and molecularweight. For sma

31、ll molecules, molar volume is a generallyapplicable parameter for correlation with retention volume.Molar volumes can be readily calculated from experimentallymeasured densities or estimated at any temperature of interestby use of critical properties. Of course, determination of themolecular weight
