HPLC Separation of Heparines and Pentosan


Heparin and pentosan are highly-sulfated glucosaminoglucan, widely used in pharmaceutical industry. Both molecules carry a high negative density attributed to multiple sulfate groups. Due to a very polar and polymeric nature of these compounds, separating and quantifying them is a very difficult task. Heparin and its salt, along with pentosan, are separated on a Primesep N column in HILIC/anion-exclusion mode. Method can be used for quantitation of heparin and pentosan in biofluids and formulations. Elution is monitored by ELSD, CAD or LC/MS.

Application Column

Primesep N

The Primesep family of mixed-mode columns offers a wide variety of stationary phases, boasting unprecedented selectivity in the separation of a broad array of chemical compounds across multiple applications. Corresponding Primesep guard columns, available with all stationary phases, do not require holders. SIELC provides a method development service available to all customers. Inquire about our specially-tailored custom LC-phases for specific separations.
