A kind of pneumatic quick preparative column chromatographic system and using method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of quick preparative column chromatographic system, particularly a kind of pneumatic quick preparative column chromatographic system and using method thereof.
Background technology
Fast preparative column chromatographic system (Flash Chrimatography) is to be the column chromatography system of foundational development with the dry method column chromatography, is mainly used in combinatorial chemistry, the preparation purifying of the blend sample in synthetic chemistry and the natural product chemistry fast.Existing quick preparative chromatography system can be divided into two big classes according to the type of drive of mobile phase solvent: the air-driven type and the type that surges, respectively with Compressed Gas and liquid phase pump as the solvent driving force.Wherein, the former can't onlinely replenish and the change mobile phase solvent, makes continued operation relatively poor; The latter controls conveniently, the automaticity height, but price is very high.
Fig. 1 is existing pneumatic system flow chart.Mobile phase solvent is contained in the receiver of complete closed in advance, and whole system pressure inside is generally about 75-100psi.Because chromatographic column is a medical disposable material, column jecket adopts polytetrafluoroethylmaterial material more.During operation, chromatographic column is positioned over and is full of (as shown in Figure 3) in the compressed-air actuated pressurized tank, and the pressure balance with inside and outside the assurance post prevents that cylinder from occurring breaking because of hypertonia.Along with constantly carrying out of wash-out, add eluotropic strength mutually mobile or the mobile phase of increase if desired, at first shutdown system bleeds off the compressed air in the system, opens receiver then and replenishes or change the phase that flows.Operating process is very loaded down with trivial details.In order to reduce trouble, existing a lot of products all adopt bigger receiver to avoid supplementing solvent.Increase cost like this, can cause the waste of unnecessary mobile phase solvent simultaneously, and still can't online change mobile phase solvent.
Summary of the invention
In order to solve the problems of the technologies described above, the invention provides a kind of pneumatic quick preparative column chromatographic system and using method thereof.By technological improvement and unique flow path designs, thereby the canned of mobile phase solvent and wash-out function are integrated effectively, have solved the defective that existing pneumatic system can't continued operation.Like this, whole system has realized continuous operation, and can onlinely replenish the composition that flows mutually and change mobile phase solvent, thereby has broken through the technical bottleneck of existing pneumatic system, has greatly improved the practicality of product.
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of pneumatic quick preparative column chromatographic system.
Another object of the present invention provides a kind of using method of pneumatic quick preparative column chromatographic system.
Pneumatic quick preparative column chromatographic system of the present invention, comprise mobile phase solvent jar and chromatographic column, it is characterized in that system is divided into relatively independent negative pressure part and intermediate pressure section, wherein negative pressure partly is used for the canned function of mobile phase solvent, intermediate pressure section is used for the wash-out function of mobile phase, can switch mutually between two parts.
Mutual switching of the present invention is undertaken by ten-way valve.Described ten-way valve is connected with an open solvent tank and two closed solvent tanks, a vavuum pump, a two-port valve respectively by pipeline, a vent valve, vent valve connects with the compressed air inlet, and two-port valve is orderly connected with injector, chromatographic column, detector, fraction collector.
When ten-way valve during at first kind of state, the compressed air inlet links to each other with the second closed solvent tank, chromatographic column successively, baric flow road in the composition; Open solvent tank links to each other with the first closed solvent tank, vavuum pump successively, forms the negative pressure stream; When ten-way valve switched to second kind of state, the compressed air inlet linked to each other with the first closed solvent tank, chromatographic column successively, baric flow road in the composition; Open solvent tank links to each other with the second closed solvent tank, vavuum pump successively, forms the negative pressure stream.
Pneumatic quick preparative column chromatographic system internal pressure of the present invention is 0-250psi, elution speed 0-1500mL/min, and the preparation sample size is mg level~Kg level.Wherein elution speed is relevant with system pressure, chromatographic column and mobile phase solvent, and the preparation sample size is concrete relevant with the chromatographic column size.
Chromatogram column system of the present invention is surrounded by the chuck of a metal or nonmetallic materials at the outer surface of chromatographic column as shown in Figure 4, and with bolt or alternate manner chuck is fixed.Preferably with the bolt crosswise fixed.The chuck material does not have specific (special) requirements, as long as can tolerate certain pressure, approximately 300psi gets final product metal material such as steel, iron, alloy etc., the withstand voltage polythene material of nonmetallic materials such as heavy wall etc.
The using method of pneumatic quick preparative column chromatographic system of the present invention comprises the steps:
(1) beginning, when ten-way valve switched to first kind of state, under the negative pressure that vavuum pump drives, mobile phase solvent carried out canned from open solvent tank to first closed solvent tank, simultaneously, mobile phase solvent from second closed solvent tank by the baric flow road chromatographic column is carried out wash-out;
(2) when flowing in second closed solvent tank exhausts mutually, use ten-way valve to switch stream to the second kind of state, it is canned to second closed solvent tank from open solvent tank that flow communication is crossed the negative pressure stream, by first closed solvent tank chromatographic column carried out wash-out;
(3) after whole separation process finishes, open vent valve, bleed off the compressed air in the system.
Compared with prior art, the present invention has following beneficial effect;
1. the online canned mode of solvent:
System is divided into relatively independent negative pressure part and intermediate pressure section.Wherein, negative pressure partly is used for the canned function of mobile phase solvent, and intermediate pressure section is used for the wash-out function of mobile phase.Because open solvent tank C is open system, can add different solvents at any time, solved at present can't online change the flow significant deficiency of phase of pneumatic system.
2. the raising of continued operation performance:
By the design of ten-way valve, realize the mutual switching between two parts, thereby just canned the and wash-out function of mobile phase solvent is integrated effectively, solved the defective that existing pneumatic system can't continued operation.
3. after whole separation process finishes, still there is unnecessary solvent in the jar mutually, solvent discharge fully just can must be bled off the compressed air in the system if flow.For addressing this problem, the present invention has designed the vent valve device. any moment, stop instrument work as needs, if closes compression air source, and open vent valve A, and can bleed off the compressed air in the system, make system enter idle state.
4. adopt chromatogram column system of the present invention, can prevent that cylinder under high pressure breaking, compare the existing chromatogram column system of Fig. 3, this device is simple, practical, pressure withstanding degree is high, cost is low also can repeatedly use.
5. simple to operate, safe, can carry out gradient elution, continuity of operation is good, can finish the whole separation process of sample continuously;
6. the reappearance height amplifies easily;
