title: Determining orthogonal and similar chromatographic systems from the injection of mixtures in liquid chromatography-diode array detection and the interpretation of correlation coefficients color maps.
abstract: Generic orthogonal chromatographic systems might be helpful tools as potential starting points in the development of methods to separate impurities and the active substance in drugs with unknown impurity profiles. The orthogonality of 38 chromatographic systems was evaluated from weighted-average-linkage dendrograms and color maps, both based on the correlation coefficients between the retention factors on the different systems. On each chromatographic system, 68 drug substances were injected as mixtures of three or four components to increase the throughput. The (overlapping) peaks were identified and resolved with a peak purity algorithm, orthogonal projection approach (OPA). The visualization techniques applied allowed a simple evaluation of orthogonal and (groups of) similar systems.
