Tertiary amines are compounds derived from ammonia. Amines with short alkyl (triethylamine, trimethylamine, diisopropylethylamine) chain are not hydrophobic enough to retain well in reverse phase chromatography. Slight hydrophobicity and strong basic properties of tertiary amines provide enough interaction with mixed-mode stationary phases to guarantee good retention on a Primesep 200 column. Tertiary amines can be separated by dual interaction based on minimal difference in hydrophobic and basic properties. This application can be used for analysis of complex mixtures of tertiary amines. ELSD and LC/MS detection can be applied. Various buffers compatible with specified detection technique can be employed (TFA for ELSD, ammonium acetate or ammonium formate for LC/MS) Compounds with the nitrogen atom next to carbonyl are called amides and are not basic in nature. Mixed-mode cation-exchange stationary phases are not interacting with amides by ion-exchange mechanism.
Application Column
Primesep 200
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.
