Y. Guillaume et al., USE OF DESIRABILITY FUNCTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH A CHEMOMETRIC METHOD TOOPTIMIZE SEPARATION OF A COMPOUND MIXTURE BY LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHY, Journal of AOAC International, 80(2), 1997, pp. 436-438
A chemometric method using a desirability function was used to optimiz
e the liquid chromatographic separation of 10 benzodiazepines in a min
imum analysis time. Most efficient separation was achieved with aceton
itrile-water (60 + 40) at a flow rate of 1 mL/min and a column tempera
ture of 47 degrees C.
