Circular is the mother mode of

PLC

• Because everything ‚runs‘ circular.

• And the circular procedure is the better

and the easier way. In all aspects.

• There was however a fundamental

problem: circular chromatograms could

not or not simply be quantitized.

• But this is history.

• Therefore µ-PLC could now be

developed.

µ-PLC

µ-PLC differs fundamentally from TLC,

HPTLC, OPLC but is similar to HPPLC.

It is circular planar chromatography.

The stationary phase layer lies

horizontally flat.

There is no mobile phase chamber, but

a thick glass plate covering the plate

layer in 1 mm distance. It causes a

virtual vapour filled chamber.

A manual analytical method ? Still today ?

YES, because:

* Often there are only a few products to be compared.

* The comparison is absolutely safe if the samples are

taken and given perfectly.

* We have full PLANARITY. It is at least two dimensional

and no any uncertainty by polarity gradients, tempe-

rature, flow differences can exist in the ‚overlapped‘

chromatography area – therefore FEW samples !

* The compare run is strictly simultaneous.

* Take THREE equal authentic samples and three

questioned samples on one plate for utmost security.

* Even with one sample security is given as we can

include inner standards along the single circle lines.

through a wick onto the thin

No pump or pressure used.

SAMPLING:

Samples from GC capillaries, from

HPLC column outlets or normal

sample solutions are given directly

or by filled micro capillaries

or by µ-brushes.

The samples are spotted

next to the plate centre.

Good sampling precision is possible

by the tools shown below but denied by

experts until they really check it….

Micro brushes work from a few to many microliters and

remain clean even with non filtered samples….

• Sampling in circular PLC is

fundamentally more

accurate than in standard

TLC / HPTLC.

• However we need some pre & after

treatments:

• 3.1 ONE PHASE. 500 to 750 µl per run

given from a one ml flask – isothermally.

• 3.2 differing liquid PHASES (MMD)

wet-in-wet or by in between drying.

• 3.3 SIMULTANEOUSLY 3 to 4 PHASES:

used only for a separation optimization.

µ-PLC -

QUANTITATION

By digital photography only,

as the classical scanners are

too slow,

they kill separation power &

fail in circular chromatography.

Page 29: Quantitative Micro Planar Chromatography µ-PLC file1 Quantitative Micro Planar Chromatography µ-PLC 240908 Drs. Olga & Rudolf E. Kaiser, Institute f. Chromatography P.O.B. 1141,

29

Quantitative µ-PLC data could be

reproduced by

+- 0.05 % relative, ng-level

because the concept reduces the plate structure

(this is comparability standard deviation

with N between 4 and 12; standard is +- 0.1 to 0.5 %)

• Circular quantitation software written

by SORBFIL experts, based on IfC ideas:

• Drastic reduction of the plate surface

structure signals by

N => 4 track quantitations. Each track

at a different angle within one µ-PLC single

sample bow or a circle part.

• Factor of ten higher precision than by

scanner quantitation – expressed as

comparability standard deviation.

Mobile phase optimization in PLC is

time consuming.

The circular technique allows to separate

with three or more differing mobile

phases simultaneously.

ONLY circular PLC allows this elegant

procedure.

µ-PLC is NOT regulated

It is a free analytical mode offering a very

high level and savety of correct decisionmaking for

the increasingly important question:

• Is substance or mixture A really equal

to substance or mixture Q ?

For the analytical answer we do NOT need

any structure specific detection, just only very well

comparable chromatograms. This is available using the

power of truly PLANAR separations

of samples partially overlapped –

see the application example.

Limitations

• µ-PLC needs PLC knowledge.

• It needs circular chromatography software,

digital camera and a fast enough laboratory

computer off-line.

• It is limited for only in maximum 24 (or 400?)

samples per plate but 3 - 4 is optimal.

• The smallest plate size is limited to

10x10 mm, standard = 100x100 mm.

• It is made mainly for critical product

comparison.

For this task: Two samples are standard.

From where to get µ-PLC hardware ?

Definitively NOT from the HPTLC instrument makers as µ-PLC is too economical

It is easy to make your own µ-PLC

equipment .

If there are really problems to get materials and data

just email the author.
