• Retention of a compound can be related to boiling point or solubility
• The solubility of a compound in the stationary phase is a better predictor of retention than boiling point..
Stationary Phase SelectivityBoiling Point versus SolubilityStationary Phase SelectivityBoiling Point versus Solubility
So.. what do we mean with “boiling point” separation columns and where are they used as such?

Simulated DistillationSimulated Distillation
• Chromatographic procedure designed to mimic (simulate) the physical process of distilling petroleum products
• Establishes a FAST correlation between retention time and boiling point
• Results are used to control refining operations
• Results are also an indicator of the range of products that can be produced from a starting material and their potential yield

• Silphenylene stabilized phases cannot be used for “simdist”separations
• The Sil-phenylene will provide some polarity, which causes deviations of calibration curve..
• Need to use 100% PDMS, to be able to use historical reference values.
• Stabilization done by increase of X-links in PDMS chain

For the best quantitative result you need to optimize the separation first..
It s always better to quantify the individual analyte as matrix effects are eliminated
Selective detection is “nice” but we always have to think of the “possible” bias..

Use of non selective detectorsUse of non selective detectors
FID is widely used: Cheap detector, but requires chromatographic separation
Column selectivity is very important: need to use tools available:
• Use literature search
• Use Chrom databases on the web from suppliers (Agilent, Restek, Sigma..)
• Use Chrom calculators and Optimization

Summary Summary
A boiling point column will only separate according to boiling point if the same class of compounds are considered
Columns with different selectivity’s will be essential for running many applications even using selective detection systems
Choosing selectivity will remain a challenge as we depend on data. More tools will be developed in future to help us.
Additional, selectivity is temperature dependent which means there is another factor that plays a role.
