Pavel Jandera was a world-leading analytical chemist who devoted his entire professional life to research in the field of high-performance liquid chromatography. During his scientific career, he worked at the Department of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Pardubice, Czech Republic. His greatest contribution to the field of liquid chromatography was the introduction of a comprehensive theory of liquid chromatography with programmed elution conditions. He was also involved in the research of gradient elution techniques in preparative chromatography, modeling of retention and selectivity in various phase systems, preparation of organic monolithic microcolumns, and, last but not least, in the development of theory and practical applications of two-dimensional liquid chromatography, mainly in the comprehensive form. In this review article, we have tried to capture the highlights of his scientific career and provide the readers with a detailed overview of Pavel Jandera's contribution to the evolution of separation sciences., (© 2022 Wiley-VCH GmbH.)

A systematic study of the retention behavior of isomeric triacylglycerols (TGs) in silver-ion HPLC on a ChromSpher Lipids column has been performed between 10 to 40°C using the most widespread hexane- and dichloromethane-based mobile phases. The randomization of mono-acyl TG standards and the random esterification of glycerol with fatty acids are employed to produce mixtures of TG isomers. The mobile phase composition has no influence on the general retention pattern, but significant differences in the retention order of double bond (DB) positional isomers in hexane and dichloromethane mobile phases are described and compared with the previous literature data. Saturated TGs with fatty acyl chain length from C7:0 to C22:0 are partially separated using the hexane mobile phase but not at all with the dichloromethane mobile phase. The hexane mobile phase enables at least partial resolution of TG regioisomers with up to seven DBs, while the resolution of only ALA/AAL and ALnA/AALn isomers is achieved with the dichloromethane mobile phase. The effect of temperature differs significantly depending on the mobile phase composition. Retention times of TGs increase with increasing temperature in the hexane mobile phase, while an opposite effect is observed for the dichloromethane mobile phase., (© 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
