As can be seen, at pH 5 and at concentration of salt 5 mM, theoretical plate number decreased and peak asymmetry increased significantly, and it resulted in the peak broadening and decreased peak resolution.

Systematic Evaluation of Chromatographic Parameters for Isoquinoline Alkaloids on XB-C18 Core-Shell Column Using Different Mobile Phase Compositions

In the first step, columns of different properties were investigated: Hypersil Gold C8, 5 [micro]m, 150 mm x 4.6 mm ID; Zorbax, 5 [micro]m, 150 mm x 4.6 mm ID; Knauer C8, 5 [micro]m, 250 mm x 4.6 mm ID; and Supelco C18, 5 [micro]m, 250 mm x 4.6 mm ID To choose the most appropriate column, the retention factor, peak asymmetry factor, and height equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP), as well as the retention time of ivabradine, were taken into consideration (Table 1).
