Pf. Deaguiar et al., COMPARISON OF MODELS AND DESIGNS FOR OPTIMIZATION OF THE PH AND SOLVENT STRENGTH IN HPLC, Analytica chimica acta, 356(1), 1997, pp. 7-17
Two designs, the one selected with the algorithm of Kennard and Stone
and the D-optimal design, and two linear models are compared while opt
imising separation in RPLC by varying the pH and the solvent strength
of the mobile phase. As a practical example the separation of a mixtur
e of beta-blockers is applied. To ease the selection of the number of
experiments of a design while applying the algorithm of Kennard and St
one, a variant of this algorithm is proposed. (C) 1997 Elsevier Scienc
