- Choose the buffer species you want to use. Enter parameters for volume, pH, and concentration of buffer species, with an option to modify the ionic strength by addition of neutral salt. Finally, enter the temperature at which you'll use the buffer, and the temperature at which you'll make it up. All in all and excellent tool you'll find useful.
Detergents & Buffers for HIC or IEX separations.
Effect of excessive loading volume on SPE Tips or Trap Columns: Use of 100% water with TARGA C18 increases retention of polar molecules for quantitative experiments.
Eliminate tailing due to metals chelating sample on frits or MS emitter tips with a 50mM disodium EDTA treatment (an off-line, non-volatile treatment), or more conveniently, with acetylacetonate in the mobile phase.
The Importance of Contact Time for Either Desalting or Trapping of Polar Solutes on Trap Columns.
The Importance of Detector Response Time when using Superficially Porous Packings: If not fast enough, at low concentrations, narrow peaks appear to give non-linear responses.

- - measurement of the pH of the aqueous HPLC buffer before mixing it with
the organic modifier,
- measurement of the pH of the HPLC buffer after mixing it with the organic modifier using a pH electrode system calibrated with aqueous buffers, and
- measurement of the pH of the HPLC buffer after mixing it with the organic modifier but calibrating the electrode system with reference buffers prepared in the same mixed solvent used as mobile phase.

Glycopeptide Enrichment: iSPE® HILIC SPE shows favorable results: "Using this
technique, we observed multifold increases in the number and abundance of glycopeptides identified and more than 90% enrichment of glycopeptides over non-glycosylated peptides in
the cell membrane fraction. In addition, iSPE®-HILIC resolved glycosites previously unidentified using conventional zwitterionic ZIC®-HILIC." Diane Dayoung Park, et al., Chem. Sci., 2018, 9, 6271 "Membrane glycomics reveal heterogeneity and quantitative distribution of cell surface sialylation" DOI: 10.1039/c8sc01875h .

iHILIC®-(P) Classic™
iHILIC®-(P) Classic™ product list and Operating Instructions.
iHILIC®-(P) Classic, an in stock alternative to ZIC®-pHILIC. It is a charge modulated (i.e. zwitterionic) diol polymer based chemistry for high pH applications to reduce the effect of amines dominating selectivity. The iHILIC®-(P) Classic requires less buffer than the iHILIC® Fusion(P) chemistry and thus perfoms like the ZIC®-pHILIC: [SIC] Adenosine Phosphate Analysis (AMP, cAMP, dAMP, ADP, dATP and ATP). Using HILIC Conditions with Volatile Buffers (70% ACN, 30% Ammonium Carbonate, pH 8.8, 100 mM).
