Chromatographic sample for determining equivalent thermal conditions between liquid chromatography systems
First Claim
1. A sample for determining an isoretention temperature of a liquid chromatography (LC) system, comprising:
- a solvent; and
a solute pair comprising two solutes dissolved in the solvent, the solute pair chosen to have a temperature at which the two solutes co-elute from a column of a LC system.

Abstract
Described is a method of transferring a chromatographic method between liquid chromatography (LC) systems and a sample for performing the method. The method is based on a determination of an isoretention temperature at which two solutes co-elute. The method enables separations to be performed using different LC systems with reproducible and equivalent results. For example, the method allows for a chromatography method developed for HPLC to be readily transferred to a UPLC system and for a chromatography method developed for a UPLC system to be more readily transferred to a HPLC system. The method addresses LC systems having column ovens of different design in which the internal column temperatures are not equal although the operating temperatures of the column ovens may be accurately controlled to equal values. The retention behavior and resolution of different LC systems is caused to be substantially the same so that equivalent separation results are obtained.
