Hi felows,
IŽd like to know how to convert the polarity of Methanol 90% : water 10% for acetonitrile and water, for exemple.

How much is it gonna be?

Is there some table?

Thaks,

Hi Paulo,

try it with 70% ACN. But don't forget, that this solvent has other types of properties so like less proton donor and more proton acceptor function. Depending on Your samples You can get selectivity changes.

You want to have the same elution power as with 90+10 MeOH+H2O? A nomograph in Snyder, Glajch, Kirkland, Practical HPLC Development, Wiley, 1988, p. 32 gives ~ 86+14 for ACN+H2O.

Hi Mueller,

is this a monography (in a journal) or a book?

Anyway, I apreciate your help.

Schoenmakers rule:

f (MeCN) = 0.32 f (MeOH) ^2 + 0.57 F (MeOH)

Haddad rule:

f(MeCN) = 0.9 * f(MeOH)^2 -0.21 f(MeOH) +0.126

f is the volume fraction.

The truth is most of the time in between
