Medium Pressure Liquid Chromatography

Edit

Liquid chromatography operated at intermediate pressures—higher than gravity columns and lower than analytical HPLC—constitutes medium-pressure liquid chromatography (MPLC). Glass or plastic columns packed with relatively large-particle silica or bonded phases are eluted by a pump at typical pressures of a few to tens of bar; the purpose is preparative isolation of milligram-to-gram quantities rather than high-efficiency analytical quantification [1]. The retention mechanisms are the same as in other liquid chromatographies (normal phase, reversed phase, silver-ion, or ion exchange); the defining attributes are the pressure range, particle size, and preparative scale [2]. Conceptual boundaries exclude flash chromatography on disposable cartridges when that technique is distinguished by still lower pressure and shorter beds, analytical HPLC, and gravity column chromatography. Essential features are a pumped liquid mobile phase, a packed bed designed for load rather than maximum plate number, and a fraction-collection scheme [3]. Combinations with macroporous-resin pre-fractionation remain MPLC at the resolving step [4].
