The separation capability of seven different polysaccharide-type chiral columns (Lux Amylose-1, Lux i-Amylose-1, Lux Amylose-2, Lux Cellulose-1, Lux Cellulose-2, Lux Cellulose-3 and Lux Cellulose-4) was investigated with a mobile phase consisting of 0.1% diethylamine in methanol, 2-propanol and acetonitrile. During the screnning experiments the best results were obtained on Lux Cellulose-2 (based on cellulose tris(3-chloro-4-methylphenylcarbamate) column with methanol with an ideal case, where all the impurities eluted before the S-ivabradine peak. Chromatographic parameters (flow rate, temperature and mobile phase constituents) were optimized by a full factorial screening design. Using optimized parameters (Lux Cellulose-2 column with 0.06% (v/v) diethylamine in methanol/acetonitrile 98/2 (v/v) with 0.45 mL/min flow rate at 12â...
