Analyses in chromatographic systems able to save mobile and stationary phases without reducing efficiency and resolution are of current interest. These advantages regarding savings have challenged us to develop a system dedicated to miniaturized liquid chromatography. This paper reports on the development of a high-pressure syringe-type pump, an oven able to perform isothermal and temperature programming and a software program to control these chromatographic devices. The experimental results show that the miniaturized system can generate reproducible and accurate temperature and flow rate. The system was applied to the separation of statins and tetracylines and showed excellent performance. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
