Optimum Bed Density (OBD) Preparative Columns

Bridging the Performance Gap from Analytical to Prep

“Using XBridge™ Prep OBD™ columns has significantly reduced our column spend for high pH work. T he

robustness of the XBridge material enables good column lifetimes and keeps the price per purification low. Also,

this range of columns has serviced the group well for the majority of the samples run in 2007.”

Mandy Crowther

Associate Principal Scientist, Cancer and Infection Research Area AstraZeneca R&D, Alderley Park, UK

“Being able to load more compound per injection is valuable for saving time without sacrificing purity. Mass recoveries using the Prep OBD Columns are excellent and

are higher than other columns I have used. Even after 1,000+ injections, the columns are still performing as they did fresh out of the box.”

Column PerformanC e—Ident If yIng t he P roblem

Laboratory-scale HPLC purification presents many challenges to the chromatographer. One of the most frustrating challenges relates to the preparative column itself. Inconsistencies in column-to-column performance and lifetimes often result in lost samples, repeat purification runs, and poor scalability from small to large volume columns. Scientists at Waters recognized this problem and, over a 3-year period, studied all aspects of the packing processes as well as the column design. Launched in 2003, the Waters proprietary* Optimum Bed Density (OBD) design is a direct result of these investigations.

For a column to remain stable during operation, the bed must be packed sufficiently dense to withstand the compressive fluid forces encountered during use. In the case of analytical column dimensions, the necessary packed bed density can generally be achieved using traditional slurry packing methods. As the diameter and length of the column increases, it becomes increasingly difficult to reach the bed density required for stable, long-term performance when using small particles. Optimizing the bed density depends on the specific properties of the chromatographic particles and column design being used.

Waters has combined high-pressure slurry packing with a carefully calculated axial compression element localized at the less-dense inlet end of the bed.

With careful tuning of the packing process for each particle type and column geometry, the Prep OBD design and process results in predictable, uniform density profiles throughout the column. During the final capping process, Waters Column Packing Operation follows carefully established procedures designed not to over-compress or disrupt, in any non-uniform way, this portion of the bed. Waters scientists have established that too much axial compression applied at the inlet can break particles, build bridges, and lower local bed permeability.

The Prep OBD column is designed to incorporate a pair of specially-designed distributors and chemically-inert seals made to prevent leaks at high operating pressures.

Optimized bed density in an OBD column is achieved by judicious application of a tuned amount of axial force only at the column inlet.

The demand for rapid high purity compound isolation places strong emphasis on the integrity and stability of the preparative column. Complex, sparingly-soluble starting materials are often dissolved with strong solvents, such as DMSO. This combination of poor solubility and pressure shocks associated with large injection volumes of pure organic solvent are the primary contributors to early column failure and chromatographic bed collapse.

The OBD design exhibits exceptional resistance to mechanical chromatographic bed failure and delivers consistent column-to-column performance, reducing cost through extended lifetimes.

Successful scaling of methods from analytical to preparative dimensions requires the use of chromatographically equivalent columns. All too often, even when the same chemistry phase and particle size are used, methods do not scale either due to loss of resolution and/or lower than expected loading. By matching the analytical and preparative column bed densities, scalability is assured, eliminating the need for any time consuming method re-development.

OBD preparative columns are packed to bed densities which closely match the equivalent analytical column. This innovative procedure produces preparative columns with excellent stability, reproducibility, and efficiency.

The development route to a final, robust LC method may require investigation of many selectivity tools, such as bonded ligands, solvent type, modifiers, temperature, and most importantly, pH. This route is complicated further by the fact that modern column chemistries are usually designed to excel in only a limited combination of these conditions, making the selection of the most suitable column extremely difficult.

The XBridge family of columns is designed to eliminate this compromise and deliver the flexibility to work under any mobile phase, temperature, and pH conditions, thus speeding up the process to an optimum and rugged final method.

First introduced in 1999 in XTerra® columns, Waters patented organic/inorganic Hybrid Particle Technology [HPT] surmounted significant limitations of silica-based reversed-phase packing materials, particularly their hydrolytic instability at high pH. In 2005, second-generation HPT, branded as BEH Technology™, embodied in new ACQUITY UPLC® BEH columns and in XBridge HPLC columns, marked a milestone in chromatography.

Patented BEH Technology hybrid particles, coupled with the OBD column design, provide reliable solutions to the most challenging purification problems.

XBridge preparative columns define the benchmark for HPLC purification chromatographic performance and consistency.

BEH Technology synthesis creates particles that ensure extreme column performance and long column lifetime under harsh operating conditions. These particles (see figure on right) are prepared from two high purity monomers: tetraethoxysilane [TEOS] and bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane [BTEE, which incorporates a pre-formed ethylene bridge].

Preparative packing materials are routinely offered with a much wider particle size distribution than the equivalent analytical particle. While this approach does reduce the cost of material manufacturing, the chromatographic performance is almost certainly compromised.

XBridge Prep packing materials are fully optimized to deliver maximum efficiency and the highest loadability at the lowest possible back pressures. These attributes allow the purification chemist the flexibility to choose the best combination of particle size and column dimension to easily purify even the most complex of samples.

XBridge Prep OBD columns provide the flexibility required for fast purification method development. Wide pH operating range and high loadability have ensured that XBridge columns provide reliable solutions to the most challenging purification problems.

reaChIng a neW lev el In P reParat Iv e Column durabIl It y

Poor lifetimes and the lack of consistent performance of preparative columns have been a significant element of concern to the purification chemist. Cost per purification needs to be reduced, in addition, the loss of samples due to early column failure must be minimized. After many years of research into column packing and design, Waters introduced the proprietary Optimum Bed Density (OBD) preparative column designs, effectively answering these concerns. This format is now recognized in the industry as delivering the most stable efficient and reproducible preparative columns.

The combination of the rugged XBridge packings and the OBD design takes preparative column performance to a new level, ensuring direct scalability, maximum efficiencies, and the longest column lifetimes.

XBridge Columns Exhibit Unsurpassed Stability with Alternating High and Low pH Mobile Phases

set t Ing t he neW standard for Peak shaPe

SunFire columns set the standard for state-of-the-art silica-based HPLC columns. By combining new bonding and endcapping technologies with a perfectly controlled particle synthesis route, Waters has developed two phases with superior peak shape performance. SunFire Prep C18 and C8 columns provide symmetrical peaks for improved resolution and purification of acidic, neutral, and basic compounds at low and intermediate pH ranges.

stabIl It y In loW ph mobIle Phase

Silica-based columns have traditionally been the first choice for routine purification methods. Many different phases are commercially available, but few have been specifically designed to meet the demands of the purification laboratory. At the low pH range of 2-3, the primary mode of column failure relates to the acid hydrolysis of the chemically bonded ligand. The proprietary bonding and endcapping techniques utilized in the manufacture of SunFire products results in a phase with much greater low pH chemical stability and extended column lifetime.

Isolation of Nimodipine and its Impurities

loadabIl It y by desIgn

A successful isolation and purification process is not only a function of column efficiency, but is also related to the loadability of the chromatographic material for different analytes, and under different mobile phase conditions.

The physical characteristics of preparative phases, such as surface area and ligand density, do not always correlate well with the mass load-ability of ionizable compounds. SunFire Prep silica particles have been synthetically designed under cGMP protocols to deliver maximum loadability in acidic to moderate pH mobile phase conditions.

Normal-phase silica columns allow for the purification of analytes that can not be separated in RPLC, such as highly hydrophilic analytes or analytes that are unstable in water. The benefits of SunFire silica are:

n High theoretical plates (similar to analytical column efficiencies)

n Excellent scale-up capability

n Low backpressure

n Fast dry down times

SunFire Prep columns, available in 5 μm and 10 μm particle sizes, show an excellent column life and stability due to the OBD design, as well as excellent peak shapes and a high mass loading.

Atlantis® T3 columns are the new industry standard for retaining and separating polar compounds via reversed-phase HPLC. Atlantis T3 HPLC columns are universal silica-based, reversed-phase C18 columns that not only retain and separate highly polar compounds, but also provide superior performance across a wider pH range.

Chromatographers have indicated that they would like to see longer column lifetimes at low pH, as well as improved peak shape for amine-containing bases and improved stability at pH 7. Atlantis T3 columns are designed to provide these additional performance attributes while maintaining the desired polar compound retention characteristics of Atlantis dC18 columns.

n Superior polar compound retentionn Wide usable silica pH range from 2-8n Designed for highly aqueous mobile phasesn Long column lifetimesn Fully mass spectrometry (MS) compatible

t3 bondIng

Behind the superior performance of Atlantis T3 HPLC columns is Waters advanced T3 bonding process. The T3 bonding utilizes a trifunctional C18 alkyl phase bonded at a ligand density that promotes polar compound retention and aqueous mobile phase compatibility. The T3 endcapping is much more effective than traditional trimethyl silane (TMS) endcapping.

This unique combination of bonding and endcapping provides superior polar compound retention and aqueous compatibility while enhancing column performance, lifetime, peak shape, and stability.

sCalabIl It y and mass loadIng

One of the most frustrating and time-consuming aspects of the purification process occurs when an analytical separation does not scale-up linearly to semi-preparative and preparative dimensions. All Waters preparative column chemistries contain the same high-quality, fully tested stationary-phase material as their equivalent analytical dimension.

Atlantis T3 preparative columns also provide high mass loading for polar compounds. The isolation and purification scientist can choose to use either a larger preparative column that provides a capacity safety margin for unknown sample sets, or a smaller preparative column that decreases solvent consumption, operating backpressures, and peak volumes. This ability to inject high mass loads translates into fewer preparative runs and faster library screening and purification.

PurIf ICat Ion of Polar analyt es

Polar compounds present a unique and difficult challenge since these unretained and/or poorly separated analytes must be re-analyzed separately, thus becoming a bottleneck in the high-throughout laboratory. If some analyte separation is realized, the peak fraction is a highly aqueous, non-volatile solvent (i.e., very weak mobile phase) that requires long evaporation times. Since Atlantis T3 preparative columns retain compounds longer, stronger mobile phases and/or steeper gradient profiles can now be used. This optimal retention results in more volatile peak fractions, faster fraction evaporation, less sample handling, and higher recoveries.

Peptide Separation Technology

Isolat Ion and PurIf ICat Ion of PePt Ides

The isolation and purification of peptides from both natural and synthetic sources have been the focus of many scientists in research and development. This process has been difficult because of unpredictable separations, short column lifetime, and lack of scalability.

Samples can be complex, so separations must be developed and optimized. These experiments are usually performed on pilot or analytical-scale columns, but inconsistent performance of preparative columns complicates the development of purification protocols. Peptide Separation Technology columns provide a stable surface chemistry that can be used for most peptides. Scaling the optimized separation requires identical column chemistry and performance across a range of column dimensions. Peptide Separation Technology column chemistry is consistent across all particle sizes and column dimensions.

The loss of samples due to early column failure must be minimized. When the OBD preparative column design is coupled with the stable surface chemistry of Peptide Separation Technology columns in a range of particle sizes, the process of peptide isolation and purification becomes more efficient, and overall costs are reduced.

utIlIty and suItabIlIty for a WIde range of PePtIdes

Peptide Separation Technology columns are suitable for a wide variety of peptides, including acidic and basic, long and short, hydrophilic and hydrophobic, and modified sequences. There is little need for screening columns to match a particular sample, or for maintaining an inventory of different column chemistries. Peptide Separation Technology columns are compatible with alternative mobile phases for flexibility in devel-oping purification methods. Good peak shapes and separations can be obtained with both TFA and short chain organic acids, as mobile phase modifiers, and the columns can be used with both acetonitrile and alcohols. Good purification and yield can be obtained with bio-compatible solvents so that the isolated peptide can be used in bio-assays.

Peptide Separation Technology columns are compatible with a broad range of peptides. A single column can be used to purify the wide range of sample types generated in a peptide synthesis laboratory. There is no need to switch columns for separating peptides of extreme sizes, isoelectric point, or hydrophobicity.

Some peptide samples may require an optimum isolation method. Test runs on an analytical scale column define conditions to transfer to a larger column. OBD columns are an integral part of the process of transferring a separation because the packed bed is stable and uniform. If preferred, large particles are available with the same selectivity as all other particle sizes. Peptide Separation Technology packings are available in a wide range of particle sizes and column dimensions, all with the same, consistent chemistry (see part number listing).

Scalable Peptide Purification

A Peptide Separation Technology UPLC® column was used to assess the purity of a synthetic phosphopeptide (above left). For isolating the target peptide at higher purity, the separation conditions used for the analytical UPLC run were scaled to a larger column packed with 5 µm particles of Peptide Separation Technology material (above right). A much larger amount of sample was applied to the preparative column. Even with the disproportionately heavier sample load, the selectivity of the separation was preserved. Pure phosphopeptide was collected from the main peak.

Column lIfet Ime

Columns fail both physically and chemically. The predominant cause of short column lifetime in low pH mobile phases is hydrolysis of the bonded phase that leads to significant changes in peptide retention. BEH Technology columns incorporate proprietary procedures for bonding and endcapping that yield stable bonded phases. In low pH stability tests, BEH C18 columns showed very little retention loss. The physical stability of these columns is ensured by the OBD design that was developed to produce the most stable packed beds.

reduCe Cost of IsolatIon

Peptide purification is expensive, but Peptide Separation Technology columns can reduce the cost per sample. The same column can be used for many sample types and mobile phases. Column life is extended with the stable bonding chemistry and OBD packing. Consistent stability ensures that the best methods and column dimensions are used for each sample.

uPlC for ComPlementIng IsolatIon and PurIfICatIon

UPLC Technology provides useful information on the composition of a peptide sample. UPLC analytical methods suggest appropriate conditions for isolation, and analysis with UPLC technology identifies the fractions to pool. Purity of the final product can then be confirmed.

UltraPerformance LC® (UPLC Technology) has been widely accepted due to the improvements to HPLC in sensitivity, resolution, and speed. For applications such as impurity and metabolite profiling, methods developed with UPLC Technology can be transferred to preparative scale in order to isolate and purify desired compounds for further characterization.

Transferring UPLC separations to preparative scale allows resolution to be maintained on the preparative OBD column using a systematic approach. Key parameters to consider include: column chemistry, particle size and dimension, injection volume, separation temperature, mobile phase composition, flow rate, gradient slope, cycle time, detector sensitivity, injector design, and system volume (both UPLC and preparative HPLC). In the example on the right, the separation developed on the ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18, 1.7 μm, 2.1 x 50 mm column was scaled-up to the XBridge Prep OBD C18, 5 μm 19 x 150 mm column. Selectivity and resolution were maintained as shown in the first two chromatograms.

The preparative HPLC separation is further optimized to shorten the run-time, using a modified, focused gradient (see third chromatogram). Excellent resolution of the degradant is achieved through an optimized separation from the API. This particular degradant was collected, re-analyzed, and shown to have a purity > 99% by UV.

The use of XBridge Prep OBD columns, built on the same particle as ACQUITY UPC BEH columns, facilitates this transfer.

Maximizing the loading of each purification run is a universal need in labs around the world. Waters Purification Laboratories studied this purification issue under many different conditions which led to the invention of the patented At-Column Dilution technique. Now recognized as very rugged, this patented technique allows scientists to increase injection volumes and enhance the overall performance of their purification columns.

1. Sample molecules entering the column in dilute DMSO retain as a narrow band at the column head.

2. DMSO is flushed from the column, before the solvent gradient begins eluting the sample band.

3. Sample components elute as narrow, sharply resolved bands in the solvent gradient.

At-Column Dilution Separations

P rInCIPle

At-Column Dilution* (ACD) is a technique that can be used in all forms of liquid chromatography, preferably for reversed-phase preparative separations. It was developed specifically for injecting large volumes of relatively strong sample diluents. Such injections may distort the chro-matography in a conventional system. If injection artifacts limit mass capacity or chromatographic resolution, the effects can be ameliorated by applying At-Column Dilution. In addition, At-Column Dilution often increases system ruggedness and column life by preventing bulk precipitation in the sample loop or in the column itself.

Conv ent Ional hPlC syst em

In a conventional system, the sample is dissolved in a strong diluent, such as DMSO, and carried from the injector to the head of the column as a plug sandwiched in a stream of weak solvent (often 95% aqueous). Precipitation might occur at the edges of this plug where the strong sample solvent is diluted with the weak chromatographic solvent. This precipitation may occlude the fluid path and lead to a high pressure shutdown. In the absence of such precipitation, the sample enters the column, but there will be no retention until the sample plug is diluted with the initial-strength mobile phase in the pores of the column. With larger injections, the volume required to dilute the sample can only

be derived by moving a substantial distance along the column. In such cases, the sample is deposited as a broad band that occupies a large fraction of the column volume. Elution of such samples gives incomplete resolution with the overlapping peaks spread over large volumes of eluent and fractions.

These problems may be reduced by strictly limiting both the volume and mass of sample injected. The alternative is substantial dilution of the sample with water, or most generally, a weak solvent, to ensure adequate retention.

Neither approach is completely satisfactory because throughput and recovery are compromised. The required larger injection volume may be incompatible with the injector and fluidics present in the system.

at-Column dIlut Ion syst em

In an At-Column Dilution system, the system is reconfigured to allow the sample plug to be carried to the head of the column in a stream of strong solvent. At the entrance of the column, this stream is continuously diluted with a stream of aqueous mobile phase. The rate of transfer into the column is so high that precipitation cannot occur. The sample molecules are then adsorbed to the packing material as very narrow bands that can be eluted as well-resolved, small-volume peaks as illustrated in the figure below.

*U.S. Patent # 6,790,361 B2

[ ]17

methods for at-Column dIlutIon general PrInCIPles

At-Column Dilution methods mimic the separation methods used for standard separations. In general, the flow rate and solvent composition generated with the gradient pump in a standard system are distributed between the gradient pump and the loading pump in an At-Column Dilution system. The solvent entering the column is the same in both systems as illustrated in the figure below. With total flow and percentage composition thus modified, alter the gradient table to include an isocratic composition period (initial hold) sufficient to completely transfer the sample through the At-Column Dilution tee to the head of the column. Add the separation and other segments of the gradient to this initial hold. There is seldom any reason to further modify the gradient to account for the contribution of the loading pump to the percentage of strong solvent.

Once the analytical separation has been optimized, a loading study on the analytical column is performed to determine the capacity of the particular packing material. Because the large scale separation should be identical to the small scale separation, the maximum sample

load will be dependent upon the complexity of the analytical separation.

Scale-up factor =

Consider scaling up from a 4.6 x 150 mm column to a 19 x 150 mm column:

Scale-up factor = = 17.1

Applying the scale-up factor, we can predict that approximately 17-135 mg of sample could be applied to the larger column (packed with the same material as the analytical column). This range is based on an analytical (4.6 mm i.d.) mass load of 1-8 mg.

The calculated flow rate may be used for the larger column to ensure the same linear velocity of mobile phases as used in the analytical run. However, reasonable flow rates are based on column diameters. Systems will be limited by increasing backpressure with increasing column length and decreasing particle size.

Many factors affect the mass capacity of preparative columns. The listed capacities represent an “average” estimate.

Capacity is:n Higher for strongly retained materialn Higher for simple mixturesn Lower where higher resolution is requiredn Very strongly dependent on loading conditions - Limited by loading volume - Limited by diluent solvent strength

Reasonable flow rates are based on column diameter. Systems will be limited by increasing backpressure with increasing column length and decreasing particle size.

Reasonable injection volumes are based on column diameter at a length of 50 mm with relatively strong solvents. Increased length is compatible with larger injection, but not proportionately so. Weaker solvents significantly increase injection volume.

Mass loading capacities for peptide purifications depend strongly on the sequence and may be estimated at 5-20% of listed values.
