High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analyses of Chlorhexidine

Chlorhexidine is a common antiseptic used intensively in hand sanitisers and other antibacterial products. Typical HPLC methods used to analyze this product are done in reverse phase (RP) mode, but this is complicated by the presence of two basic groups which, with the overall hydrophobic characteristics of the molecule, usually produce asymmetrical peaks.


Condition

ColumnBIST B+, 4.6×150 mm, 5 µm, 100A
Mobile PhaseMeCN
BufferH2SO4 – 0.2%
Flow Rate1.0 ml/min
DetectionUV 260 nm
Peak Retention Time6.2 min

Description

Class of CompoundsTopical antiseptic
Analyzing CompoundsChlorhexidine

Sample preparation:

Plasma/urine sample was spiked with a small amount of Chlorhexidine and then diluted 5 times with acetonitrile. A formed precipitate was removed by centrifugation and the cleared solution was used directly for injection. 

Application Column

BIST B+

BIST™ columns offer a unique and effective way to achieve separations that were traditionally challenging or even impossible with other HPLC columns. With the use of a special mobile phase, these ion exchange columns provide very strong retention for analytes with the same charge polarity as the stationary phase, unlocking new chromatography applications. What makes BIST™ columns stand out is their proprietary surface chemistry, which results in superior selectivity, resolution, and sensitivity. These columns offer a simple, efficient solution for a variety of analytical challenges, making them an excellent choice for researchers and analysts across many different fields.

HPLC Method for Separation of Chlorhexidine and Cetylpyridinium Chloride on Primesep B Column

January 22, 2020

HPLC Separation of Chlorhexidine and Cetylpyridinium chloride on Primesep B Column_1222

Chlorhexidine gluconate, or simply chlorhexidine, is a biguanide used as an antiseptic and disinfectant. It is a component of mouthwash rinses that has been shown to reduce plaque, gingivitis and oral bacteria. It’s also used as a topical agent for skin disinfection. Cetylpyridinium chloride is another type of antiseptic used in mouthwash rinses. Both compounds are cationic. They can be separated using HPLC on SIELC’s reverse-phase (RP) mixed-mode Primesep B column with the mobile phase of acetonitrile (ACN) and water with formic acid buffer and UV detected at 270nm.

Condition

Column Primesep B,  3.2×150 mm, 5 µm, 100A

Separation of Chlorhexidine on Newcrom R1 HPLC column

February 16, 2018
Separation of Chlorhexidine on Newcrom C18 HPLC column

Chlorhexidine 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.
