An automated high-performance liquid chromatographic assay for the determination of an aldosterone antagonist (I) is described using column switching for direct injection of urine samples. After dilution with buffered internal standard solution, the sample was injected onto a clean-up column (17 X 4.6 mm I.D.), dry-packed with C18 reversed-phase material (particle size 30 micron). Polar urine components were removed by flushing the clean-up column with water. Retained substances, including I and the internal standard, were desorbed by backflush elution onto a 5-micron ODS-silica analytical column (125 X 4 mm I.D.), separated with water-methanol-tetrahydrofuran, and detected at 295 nm. After backflushing the analytical column and re-equilibrating the clean-up column, the system was ready for the next injection. The limit of quantification was ca. 100 ng/ml, using a 100-microliter specimen of diluted urine. The mean inter-assay precision of the method up to 25.6 micrograms/ml was 2%. Practicability and accuracy of the new method were demonstrated by the application to excretion studies performed with human volunteers.

A gas chromatographic system using home-made 7 microns thick cross-linked dimethylpolysiloxane columns for the on-line analysis of trace tetrahydrofuran in hexane in a rubber production facility was developed. The experimental parameters of the column system, including the temperature, flow rate as well as the back-flushing and heart-cutting program were investigated. The total column-switching program was suggested. The system has been successfully operated for more than one year with good resolution, stability and precision (RSD < 5%) in analyzing trace tetrahydrofuran (0-250 x 10(-6), V/V) for industrial process control in the rubber production facility.

Natural and regenerated chitins were derivatized with 3,5-dimethyphenyl isocyanate. The corresponding chiral stationary phases were prepared by coating the resulting chitin derivatives on 3-aminopropyl silica gel. The swelling capacity of the chitin derivatives, enantioseparation capability, as well as eluents tolerance of the chiral stationary phases were evaluated. The results demonstrated no remarkable difference in enantioseparation capability between natural and regenerated chitins based chiral stationary phases. The similar enantioseparation characteristics of two chiral stationary phases could be understood by comparing the IR spectra of related chitin derivatives. The one of the two chiral stationary phases prepared by coating the chitin derivative with a lower molecular weight generally provided better enantioseparations. All chiral stationary phases can work in 100% chloroform, 100% ethyl acetate, 100% acetone, and the mobile phases containing a certain amount of tetrahydrofuran. The chiral stationary phase prepared from the chitin derivative with the highest swelling capacity exhibited better enantioseparations than others. This chiral stationary phase was damaged by flushing with 100% tetrahydrofuran, however, the enantioseparation capability was recovered again after the column was allowed to stand for 1 month. Furthermore, the recovered chiral stationary phase provided better enantioseparations for some chiral analytes than before.
