Yes, it would be highly preferential (especially in this case where you want partitioning to dominate) to inject in high organic. That said, you can 'get away' with it if the injection volume can be kept small - much like we can inject low volumes of stronger solvents in RP mode, if needed. What you will want to do to minimize impact is to get as much retention on the analytes of interest as you can, this helps give the sample solvent some time to dissipate and negate the effects.

In HILIC separations, what happens if the sample is an aqueous matrix? Does it always have a negative effect?

Can peptide or protein samples be analyzed using HILIC columns?
1 answer-
Polar peptides are quite amenable to HILIC separations; however, our experience with larger peptides has been only minimally successful - mainly due to solubility issues. Proteins are even more difficult due to the same issue. An additional problem with proteins is that they are often multiply charged. When IEX is performed on multiply charged analytes, you often get what is referred to as a rolling effect where the analyte interacts with ionic sites on the surface in many different ways as it 'rolls' down the column; this produces broad and misshapen peaks.

What column do you recommend for an anionic compound?
1 answer-
If the acids are hydrophilic or you can adjust the pH to make them hydrophilic enough, any of the phases that exhibit HILIC partitioning are possible (bare silica, OH5, diol, Zwitterionic, amide). We typically go with the OH5 first to try and avoid any negative impacts on the like charge.

When referring to the pH of the mobile phase (pH 3, pH 4, etc.), does that refer to the aqueous part of the mobile phase?
1 answer-
Typically when we refer to pH in HILIC, we use the effective pH or the pH as measured after the addition of organic. The point is that we should always define what pH we are stating. The common way to distinguish is using notation of w/w pH or s/w pH (usually superscript/subscript). The notations mean superscript = solvent the pH is measured in (s would indicate some mixture of aqueous:organic) and the subscript = the solvent the pH meter is calibrated in (typically water (or w) as we readily have calibration standards).

Do I need special fittings and tubing to connect Ascentis® Express HPLC Columns?
1 answer-
While operating pressures may not exceed the 400 bar (6,000 psi) capability of your traditional instruments, sustained pressures of about 200 bar (3,000 psi) will exceed the recommended pressure for conventional PEEK tubing and fittings at the column inlet. We recommend changing to stainless steel fittings in all high pressure locations and have designed special High Performance HPLC Fittings/Interconnects that will stay tight at pressures of 1,000 bar (15,000 psi) or greater, even when elevated column temperatures are employed.

Can I use Ascentis Express on any type of HPLC system?
1 answer-
Ascentis Express HPLC columns are capable of use on standard HPLC systems as well as UHPLC systems. Columns are packed in high pressure hardware capable of withstanding the pressures used in UHPLC systems.

Would you advise addition of a buffer when using diol or amide stationary phase?
1 answer-
Yes. if possible you should always have at least a small amount of buffer in a HILIC system to help mediate/control IEX and other polar interactions that are bound to be present (even if at a low level). It is not so much the "buffering capacity" that is important, but the presence of the competing ions. We have found that their presence helps with day to day and column to column reproducibility. There are times when you need to eliminate the buffer, but aside from special circumstances, our recommendation is to include them.

Is there anything special I need to do to my HPLC system to use Ascentis Express?
1 answer-
Nothing special is required to use Ascentis Express HPLC columns. To obtain the full benefits of Ascentis Express, one should minimize dispersion or instrument bandwidth in the HPLC system (tubing, detector flow cell) as well as confirm the detector response system is set at a fast level.

What flow rate should I use with Ascentis® Express HPLC Columns?
1 answer-
Based on the minimum in the van Deemter curves, higher flows than 5um particle columns are required in order to maximize Ascentis Express column efficiency. The suggested starting point for flow rate for Ascentis Express columns: 1.6 mL/min for 4.6 mm ID; 0.8 mL/min for 3.0 mm ID; and 0.4mL/min for 2.1 mm ID.
