HPLC Method for Cetylpyridinium Chloride on Primesep D by SIELC Technologies

High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Cetylpyridinium Chloride.
Cetylpyridinium Chloride, also written as CPC, is a cationic quaternary ammonium compound with the chemical formula C21H38ClN. It is commonly used in mouthwashes, toothpastes, lozenges, throat sprays, breath sprays, and nasal sprays due to it’s antiseptic abilities.

Primesep D retains Cetylpyridinium Chloride by a combination of reversed-phase and ion-exchange mechanisms. The anion-exchange properties of the column can be adjusted by the TFA concentration in the mobile phase and the reversed-phase properties are adjusted by the percentage of acetontrile. The HPLC separation uses a mobile phase of water, acetonitrile (MeCN, ACN) and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and UV detection at 250 nm.
