HPLC UV Method for Analysis of Benzethonium Chloride on Primesep SB Column
January 13, 2026
HPLC Method for Benzethonium chloride on Primesep SB by SIELC Technologies
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Benzethonium chloride.
Benzethonium is a synthetic quaternary ammonium salt with the chemical formula C27H42NO2+. It’s primary used as a disinfectant due to it’s antiseptic and antimicrobial properties. Benzethonium chloride, which is the salt form of this compound, in small concentration is used as skin disinfectant as well as an antimicrobial agent in first aid. You can find detailed UV spectra of Benzethonium chloride and information about its various lambda maxima by visiting the following link.
Benzethonium chloride can be retained and analyzed using the Primesep SB stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes a gradient method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile (MeCN) buffer. Detection is performed using UV.

Uv-Vis Spectrum of Benzethonium Chloride

If you are looking for optimized HPLC method to analyze Benzethonium chloride check our HPLC Applications library
For optimal results in HPLC analysis, it is recommended to measure absorbance at a wavelength that matches the absorption maximum of the compound(s) being analyzed. The UV spectrum shown can assist in selecting an appropriate wavelength for your analysis. Please note that certain mobile phases and buffers may block wavelengths below 230 nm, rendering absorbance measurement at these wavelengths ineffective. If detection below 230 nm is required, it is recommended to use acetonitrile and water as low UV-transparent mobile phases, with phosphoric acid and its salts, sulfuric acid, and TFA as buffers.
For some compounds, the UV-Vis Spectrum is affected by the pH of the mobile phase. The spectra presented here are measured with an acidic mobile phase that has a pH of 3 or lower.
Separation of Benzethonium chloride on Newcrom R1 HPLC column
February 16, 2018
Benzethonium chloride can be analyzed by this reverse phase (RP) HPLC method with simple conditions. The mobile phase contains an acetonitrile (MeCN), water, and phosphoric acid. For Mass-Spec (MS) compatible applications the phosphoric acid needs to be replaced with formic acid. Smaller 3 µm particles columns available for fast UPLC applications. This liquid chromatography method is scalable and can be used for isolation impurities in preparative separation. It also suitable for pharmacokinetics.
Application Column
Newcrom R1
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.
