Description

Automatic intelligent detection instrument for thin-layer chromatography analysis and real-time online detection method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of separation and analysis of chemical biological samples of inorganic and organic compounds or biological macromolecules and the like, in particular to an automatic intelligent detection instrument for thin-layer chromatography analysis and a real-time online detection method thereof.
Background
Chromatographic analysis (Chromatography) was initiated in the beginning of the last century, and is generally used in amounts of several to hundreds of micrograms, a more practical and effective method of micro-separation analysis. The most common liquid chromatography methods are thin layer chromatography and column chromatography. The principle is an experimental technique for separating various components in the process of flowing a mobile phase (solvent) through a solid phase (adsorbent) according to the adsorption capacity of the same adsorbent on various sample components. Typical adsorbents are silica gel, alumina, etc. The mobile phase solvent is generally water, methanol, ethanol, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and other organic solvents or mixed solution of various solvents according to a certain proportion. Column chromatography is a method of separating a sample by filling adsorbent particles into a column of glass or other material and washing with a solvent. The development of high performance liquid chromatography (High Performance Liquid Chromatography, HPLC) which allows for high pressure washing of the column increases the resolution of the sample components, making column chromatography the most common method of separation analysis of chemical or biological samples.
Thin layer chromatography is to spread an adsorbent on a thin layer chromatography plate, then apply a sample to the adsorbent, spread the solvent on the thin layer chromatography plate by capillary phenomenon and separate the sample components on the thin layer chromatography plate. The development of High Performance THIN LAYER Chromatography (HPTLC) has made it increasingly important to be able to be used as a chemical analysis. The thin layer chromatography is combined with other spectroscopy, optical density measurement of a digital camera, biological reaction luminescence, and development of a nano adsorption layer has better and better separation effect and detection precision on samples. In recent years, methods such as electrophoresis thin layer chromatography (Pressurized Plannar Electrochromatography PPEC) and high-pressure thin layer chromatography (Overpressured Layer Chromatography OPLC) have also improved the detection resolution of samples by applying external additional forces such as electromagnetic fields, high pressure, and the like to the development tank. (cf. Colin F. Poole, instrumental Thin-Layer chromatography. Elsevier 2015)
Although thin layer chromatography is inferior to high performance liquid chromatography in resolution, thin layer chromatography can measure multiple samples in parallel on one thin layer chromatography plate, has high analysis speed, is convenient and simple to operate, and can be intuitively analyzed by image recording. Is widely used in the fields of medicine, pharmacy, biochemistry, sanitation, environment, food, chemical industry and the like. Thin layer chromatography is often used for quality control of herbal medicine production and identification, identification of natural compounds, chemical, impurity inspection or content determination. In drug development, thin layer analysis is used to measure quantitative structure-activity relationships (Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship, QSAR) physicochemical parameters (log p) of drug development. In addition, the thin layer chromatography bioautography method (TLC-Bioautography) is applied to antibacterial and antifungal drug screening. (cf. K. Ciura et al Journal of Chromatography A,1520 (2017) 9-22.)
In the detection of chemical synthesis reaction, the progress of chemical synthesis reaction is generally known by detecting the content change of a starting compound or a produced compound of chemical reaction with the reaction time by thin layer chromatography.
The thin layer chromatography comprises the specific steps of sampling, sample application, spreading, drying and volatilizing sample application or spreading solvent, developing color by a color developing agent, and performing qualitative analysis observed under an ultraviolet lamp or performing quantitative analysis of ultraviolet scanning to calculate the content of the sample.
Spotting: the most classical method is to sample with a capillary glass tube, spot the sample solution to one end of the prepared thin layer chromatography plate, and wait until the sample is immobilized on silica gel particles on the thin layer chromatography plate. The solvent is volatilized cleanly by cool air and hot air, and the sample application quality can be better controlled.
And (3) unfolding: one end of a thin layer chromatographic plate with a sample is placed into a solvent in a spreading groove, the sample spots are arranged on a solvent interface, the solvent can be spread on the thin layer chromatographic plate in a moving way, and the specific shift values (Rf) spread on the thin layer chromatographic plate are different due to the different adsorption forces of various components of the sample, so that the purpose of separation is achieved. The ratio shift value (Retardation factor, rf) refers to the ratio of the moving distance of the sample component to the moving distance of the mobile phase solvent during development, and can be expressed by the following formula:
Rf=Zx/(Zf-Z0)
Wherein:
zx distance of solvent front from origin (point of application)
Zf, distance at the junction of solvent front and mobile phase
Z0, distance between origin and junction of thin layer chromatography plate and mobile phase
When using conventional thin layer chromatography plates, the Rf value is related to the magnitude of its polarity. The Rf value with small polarity is larger, and the Rf value with large polarity is smaller.
Color development: after the thin layer chromatography plate is unfolded, the thin layer chromatography plate is placed into a color developing agent or sprayed by the color developing agent, so that a sample adsorbed on the thin layer chromatography plate reacts with the color developing agent, and sample components can absorb visible light at the unfolded position to display color under normal temperature or heating conditions. For the sample with ultraviolet absorption, a fluorescent indicator such as a silica gel plate GF254 can be added into the adsorbent of the thin-layer chromatographic plate, a uniform fluorescent background is generated under the excitation of ultraviolet light, and the sample spots are displayed in dark color and can be photographed and recorded.
Qualitative analysis: in the case of a colored sample, the result of the unfolding separation of the sample can be directly observed by eyes. If the sample is colorless but has ultraviolet absorption, the separation can be recorded by observation under an ultraviolet lamp using a fluorescent thin layer chromatography plate. Alternatively, the developed thin layer chromatography plate can be developed with a color developer to determine.
Quantitative analysis: thin layer scanning is commonly used to quantify the sample components after thin layer chromatography plate development. The thin layer scanning is to irradiate the sample spot on the thin layer chromatographic plate with visible light or ultraviolet light, and measure the change of absorbance (A) of the thin layer chromatographic spot along with the development distance to obtain a thin layer chromatographic scanning curve. Quantification by thin layer scanning is based on Gu Baier Kalman-Mank (kubelka-Munk) law. Gu Baier Kalman's law describes the effect of the diffusion parameter of the stationary phase on the concentration of the sample components in the spot versus absorbance.
Gu Baier Kalman's (kubelka-Munk) law can theoretically be expressed in terms of the following mathematical formulas (cf. Spangenberg B. J. Planner Chromatography 2006;19; 332):
Wherein:
r infinity, absolute reflectance of infinitely thick adsorbed layers
Epsilon, molar absorption coefficient
S, dispersion coefficient
Spot concentration by thin layer chromatography
N, molar sample size
Spot area A
D, thickness of adsorption layer
A, absorption coefficient
Quantification of the sample after separation by unfolding generally requires more elaborate spectroscopic methods. The most common measurement methods currently used on thin layer chromatography plates are multiband and diode matrix scanning and optical density measurement with digital cameras. The quantitative method comprises normalization method, external standard method, addition method and regression curve quantitative method. The regression curve method is more commonly used, different concentrations of the standard solution and the sample solution are spotted on the same thin layer chromatographic plate, the thin layer scanning is carried out after the development, the regression curve of the standard solution is obtained, and then the content of the sample is calculated by using the regression curve. Meanwhile, the thin layer chromatography can also be combined with other spectroscopy such as mass spectrometry, infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance to more accurately identify and quantify the analysis sample.
In practical applications, thin layer chromatography methods are used to detect samples by spotting, solvent development and separation, and chemical color development steps are sometimes required, and finally chemical and biological sample components are analyzed qualitatively or quantitatively by human eye light visualization or by spectrometer scanning. Each step is performed by experimenters in a step-by-step and in-person manner according to the experimental flow. First, sample application is performed on a thin layer chromatography plate, i.e., a sample solution is dripped on the thin layer chromatography plate by using a glass capillary tube, and after the sample application is completed, the thin layer chromatography plate is put into a spreading groove again for solvent spreading. In this process, the sample components are separated due to the difference in adsorption force of the components to the chromatographic thin layer chromatography plate adsorbent. For the developed result, if the sample is colorless, the sample needs to be developed by using a chemical developing reagent, namely, the sample thin layer chromatography plate is taken out after being placed into a developing solution, and the sample thin layer chromatography plate is heated on a heating plate for developing. If the sample components have ultraviolet absorption, the chemochromic step can be omitted and the separation can be recorded by hand or by instrument, as observed under irradiation with ultraviolet light.
The current thin layer chromatography operation is essentially performed in an open environment. The external influence on the separated sample is great, such as the influence of relative humidity, the influence of solvent vapor, the influence of temperature, the influence of span and the like. The whole process of thin layer chromatography is an off-line multi-step operation, and the operation process and skill can affect the quality of the chromatography. Thin layer chromatography typically requires a laboratory technician to wait in the laboratory for the time required to complete the steps, which can consume significant amounts of time. In addition, qualitative thin-layer chromatography analysis, particularly thin-layer chromatography detection of chemical synthesis reactions, only subjectively records the thin-layer analysis result, has no original objective record, and cannot better perform quality management and data standardization and application.
Although the individual steps of thin layer chromatography are instrumented, such as spotters, spreaders, multi-spreaders, nebulizers, uv scans, and integrators, to improve non-standard operation and efficiency, these instruments are typically quantitative analyses for the precision processing of thin layer chromatography plates in one step, each step being done off-line during the actual analysis operation. The thin layer chromatography plate is spotted, solvent is spread, dried, chemical color development or ultraviolet scanning is carried out by manually putting the thin layer chromatography plate into the instrument of each step, waiting for each operation to be completed, and the whole process needs to be accompanied manually, thus needing to spend a great deal of working time of operators. Moreover, each of the step instruments is typically used for chromatographic analysis of relatively large thin layer plates (e.g., 10x20 cm or 20x20 cm), or is relatively expensive, or is bulky and off-line, limiting the use of these instruments for the most elegant simple qualitative comparison of thin layer chromatography.
On-line analytical testing, which fully automates the individual operating steps, is the most efficient method. Because the chromatographic column for High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) can be used for sample analysis for many times without replacement, sampling in operation, and separation and detection in the chromatographic column are easier to fully automatic, an online analysis instrument for High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is started in the early 80 th century. In comparison with High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), thin layer plates of thin layer chromatography are usually used for sample analysis only once after spotting, and samples of different polarities require different developing solvents, so thin layer chromatography detection analysis requires frequent replacement of thin layer chromatography plates and developing solvents, and automation of the entire analysis operation is relatively difficult. Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) lacks an efficient real-time online detection method compared to the state where High Performance Liquid (HPLC) online analysis is already normal.
In addition, it should be noted that, as with thin layer chromatography, many analytical methods are to apply a layer of chemicals to a thin plate so that the sample and the layer of chemicals physically or chemically react to achieve the purpose of separation, and then perform spectroscopic qualitative or quantitative analysis on the separated components. The main methods include electrophoresis analysis methods which are commonly used for analyzing proteins and DNA. The analysis methods have the same operation flow, namely the steps of sampling, sample application, dyeing, image scanning and the like, and have the same problems of offline operation and the like.
