Equilibrate the column with 20 empty column volumes of 0.010 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.2) at a flow rate of 1.2 mL/min before beginning chromatography.” Show the calculation for how much mobile phase you would use (volume) and how long it will take to equilibrate the column.
The figure below shows a typical separation of several fat-soluble vitamins by HPLC. The x-axis is retention time in minutes. From the graph try to estimate retention times for peaks 2 and 3. Retention time peak 2 = Retention time peak 3 = Assume that w1/2 is 0.15 minutes for peak 2 and 0.16 minutes for peak 3. Assume that tm is 2.00 minutes. How much time does gamma-tocopherol spend in the stationary phase? From tr and w1/2 find N for the peak that elutes first.

You must separate three different compounds with reversed phase HPLC. Compound 1 is an acid (pKa = 4.3), compound 2 is neutral compounds and compound 3 is a base (pKa = 9.6). As eluent, use 30/70 (v / v)% methanol / pH 3.0 formic acid buffer. The retention time and the top width at the base of the top for the three components are presented below.
