Condition 1

Column Newcrom B, 3.2×100 mm, 3 µm, 100A
Mobile Phase MeCN/H2O – 40/60%
Buffer
Flow Rate 0.5 ml/min
Detection UV 275nm

 


Parabens possess antibacterial and antifungal properties and are therefore widely used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries as preservatives in products. Parabens and benzoic acid can be baseline separated in a short time frame using Primesep B2 reverse-phase HPLC column with a simple mobile phase of water, acetonitrile (ACN, MeCN) and phosphoric acid of 0.1% as buffer. UV detection at 210nm.

Condition 2

Column Primesep B2, 4.6×150 mm, 5 µm, 100A
Mobile Phase MeCN/H2O
Buffer H3PO4
Flow Rate 1.0 ml/min
Detection UV, 210 nm

Application Column

Newcrom B

The Newcrom columns are a family of reverse-phase-based columns. Newcrom A, AH, B, and BH are all mixed-mode columns with either positive or negative ion-pairing groups attached to either short (25 Å) or long (100 Å) ligand chains. Newcrom R1 is a special reverse-phase column with low silanol activity.

Primesep B2

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.
