19、 information regarding proper utiliza-tion of SI units, see NIST SP811.4. Significance and Use4.1 The composition and sequential structure of alginate, aswell as the molar mass and molar mass distribution, determinesthe functionality of alginate in an application. For instance, thegelling properties

20、 of an alginate are highly dependent upon thecomposition and molar mass of the polymer.4.2 Light scattering is one of very few methods available forthe determination of absolute molar mass and structure, and itis applicable over the broadest range of molar masses of anymethod. Combining light scatte

21、ring detection with size exclu-sion chromatography (SEC), which sorts molecules accordingto size, gives the ability to analyze polydisperse samples, aswell as to obtain information on branching and molecularconformation. This means that both the number-average andmass-average values for molar mass a

22、nd size may be obtainedfor most samples. Furthermore, one has the ability to calculatethe distributions of the molar masses and sizes.4.3 Multi-angle laser light scattering (MALS) is a techniquewhere measurements are made simultaneously over a range ofdifferent angles and used to determine the scatt

23、ering at 0,which directly relates to molecular weight. MALS detectioncan be used to obtain information on molecular size, since thisparameter is determined by the angular variation of thescattered light. This can be related to branching, aggregation,and molecular conformation. Molar mass can also be

24、 deter-mined by detecting scattered light at a single low angle (LALS)and assuming that this is not significantly different from thescattering at 0.4.4 Size exclusion chromatography uses columns, which aretypically packed with polymer particles containing a networkof uniform pores into which solute

25、and solvent molecules candiffuse. While in the pores, molecules are effectively trappedand removed from the flow of the mobile phase. The averageresidence time in the pores depends upon the size of the solutemolecules. Molecules that are larger than the average pore sizeof the packing are excluded a

26、nd experience virtually noretention; these are eluted first, in the void volume of thecolumn. Molecules which penetrate the pores will have a largervolume available for diffusion; their retention will depend ontheir molecular size, with the smaller molecules eluting last.4.5 For polyelectrolytes, di

27、alysis against the elution bufferhas been suggested, in order to eliminate Donnan-type artifactsin the molar mass determination by light scattering (1, 2).6However, in the present method, the size exclusion chroma-tography step preceding the light scatter detection is anefficient substitute for a di

28、alysis step. The sample is separatedon SEC columns with large excess of elution buffer for 30 to 40min, and it is therefore in full equilibrium with the elutionbuffer when it reaches the MALS detector.5.

RATIONALEX1.1 The use of naturally occurring biopolymers forbiomedical and pharmaceutical applications and in tissue-engineered medical

32、 products (TEMPs) is increasing. This testmethod is designed to give guidance in the characterization ofsodium alginate used in such applications.X2. BACKGROUNDX2.1 Alginate is a family of non-branched binary copoly-mers of 1-4 glycosidically linked -D-mannuronic acid (M)and -L-guluronic acid (G) re

33、sidues. The relative amount ofthe two uronic acid monomers and their sequential arrange-ment along the polymer chain vary widely, depending on theorigin of the alginate. The uronic acid residues are distributedalong the polymer chain in a pattern of blocks, where ho-mopolymeric blocks of G residues

34、(G-blocks), homopolymericblocks of M residues (M-blocks) and blocks with alternatingsequence of M and G units (MG-blocks) co-exist. It has alsobeen shown by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectros-copy that alginate has no regular repeating unit.X2.2 The principles of SEC-MALS can be summarized as

35、follows: Samples of polymer are injected into the mobile phaseand separated according to size on the SEC columns. For agiven concentration c (g/mL) of the solute, the scattered lightsignal as measured by the MALS detector is proportional tocM, where M is molar mass (or the mass average molar mass,Mw

36、, for non-fractionated polydisperse samples). Using aconcentration (for example, refractive index) detector to mea-sure c, one may determine the molar mass in each volumefraction eluted from the columns. Solving Eq X2.1 is the heartof this analysis:K*c/R! 5 1/$Mw*P!%12A2c (X2.1)X2.2.1 The excess Ray

37、leigh ratio R() is the light scatteredby the solution at an angle in excess of that scattered by puresolvent, divided by the incident light intensity.A2is the secondvirial coefficient. K* is equal to 42n02(dn/dc)2/04NA, wheren0is the refractive index of the solvent, 0is the vacuumwavelength of incid

38、ent light, and NAis Avogadros number.Finally, P() is a form factor which depends on the structure ofthe scattering molecules and describes the angular dependenceof the scattered light, from which the mean square radius of themolecules may be determined.X2.2.2 Eq X2.1 is typically solved using a Deby

39、e plot (thatis, plotting R()/(K*ci) versus sin2(/2), where the sin2(/2)term results from an expansion of P(), for each volumeelement eluted from the SEC columns assuming monodisper-sity within each volume element. By extrapolating the Debyeplot to zero angle, the intercept yields the mass directly.

40、TheDebye plot is also commonly performed using a Zimmrepresentation (that is, plotting (K*ci)/R() versus sin2(/2),from which the intercept yields the inverse of the molar mass(1/Mi). The Zimm representation of the Debye plot may bepreferable for macromolecules like alginates and chitosans,since only

41、 linear fits to zero angle are normally required. Acomprehensive review of light scattering and absolute charac-terization of macromolecules, including experimentalprocedures, have been reported by P. J. Wyatt (3).X2.2.3 Column calibration molecular weight standards arenot required in the analysis.

42、Only a set of fundamental ormeasured constants (,n0,(dn/dc), 0,NA,A2) and a set ofexperimentally measured values (c,R(), P(), detector cali-bration constant) are required to calculate the molar mass.FIG.

CONSTANT VALUESX3.1 Calibration and Normalization of MALS-detectorAMALS detector typically incorporates several photoreceptorsin a planar circular arrangement around a f

44、low cell. Calibrationof the MALS detector is required to establish a correct reading,typically for the 90 detector, using a well-defined isotropicscatterer (toluene or a NIST-traceable molecular weight stan-dard can be used). Calibration should be done following theinstrument manufacturers recommend

45、ed procedures, andchecked for consistency and agreement with the instrumentmanufacturers expected value. Furthermore, normalization ofthe other photoreceptors to the 90 detector is required toreduce errors caused by differences in sensitivities of eachdetector and the difference in distance between

46、the sample andeach detector. Normalization is typically done using an isotro-pic scatterer in the same solvent as the unknown samples to beanalyzed. Pullulan standards are commonly used in aqueoussolvents. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is another commonlyused isotropic scatterer for normalization in aq

47、ueous solvent.X3.2 RI-detector Calibration ConstantIn the experimen-tal setup described herein, the RI-detector is used as anabsolute concentration detector. Depending on the type ofdetector, one may need to calibrate the analog output of thedetector to refractive index (dn/dV). Such calibration can

48、 beperformed using a concentration series of samples with knownrefractive index increment (dn/dc), and recording the voltageoutput at each concentration. NaCl is commonly used forcalibration of RI detectors.X3.3 Refractive Index Increment, dn/dcMartinsen et al(4) found a value of dn/dc of 0.150 mL/g

49、 for sodium alginatein aqueous 0.1M NaCl at 633 nm. No uncertainty was reportedfor this value, but it was reported to be in accordance withprevious literature data. For pullulan in aqueous solvent, avalue 0.148 mL/g is suggested according to Nordmeier (5).Values of (dn/dc)(dn/dc measured on dialyzed samples, forexample, at constant chemical potential) can be determined bymeasuring the refractive index of a concentration series ofsamples on a RI-detector with known calibration constant(dn/dV).X3.4 Second Virial Coeff
