Explain about Low pressure gradient and High Pressure
gradient systems in HPLC?

Answer Posted / venkata narayana

Answer:
In a high pressure gradient pump, each different mobile phase is delivered by an individual pump head and then the mobile phases are mixed at the pump outlet. In a low pressure gradient pump, different mobile phases are mixed using a valve before entering the pump head.


As a result of the fact that the low-pressure gradient design uses only one pump head, it is of lower cost. It can also use more types of mobile phase without significant increase of cost.


Since solvent mixing point is much closer to the column head in the high-pressure gradient design, it provides a much faster gradient. This is measured using delay volume. The value can be 50-300 uL for high pressure gradient pump and can be 2 to 3 times larger for a low pressure gradient pump. A small delay volume is important when the analysis time is short or the flow rate is low. If the delay volume is too large, it become impossible to obtain reproducible gradient run since the planed composition cannot reach the column head before a run is finished.

My question about gas chromatography sulfur chemiluminsecence detector. I test unknown sample gas by GC-SCD (calibrated ) and the result of *H2S is 279 PPM , *but when I test the same sample with the GC-TCD (calibrated ) the value of *H2S is 2500 PPM . I'd like to inform you that both GCs are calibrated and have very good operation conditions with stable parameters . the question is if the sample gas with higher H2S over detection limits of SCD detector (1000 ppm). why the result it 279 ppm Best regards
