Substituted Furans Separation on Newcrom R1

February 10, 2021

Furan is a chemical contaminant that forms in some foods during traditional heat treatment techniques, such as cooking, jarring, and canning.  The compounds can be retained and separated in HPLC using Newcrom R1 reverse-phase column.  The analytical method’s mobile phase consists of a gradient of acetonitrile (ACN) in water with phosphoric acid (H3PO4) buffer and using UV detection at 210 and 275 nm.

Condition

Column Newcrom R1, 4.6×150 mm, 5 µm, 100A
Mobile Phase MeCN/H2O – 5/95%
Buffer H3PO4 – 0.1%
Flow Rate 1.0 ml/min
Detection 210, 275 nm

Description

Class of Compounds Hydrophilic, Acid, Aldehyde
Analyzing Compounds 3,4-Bis(hydroxymethyl)furan, 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (5-HMF), 5-(Hydroxymethyl)furan-2-carboxylic Acid, Furfuryl Alcohol, Furfural, 2-furancarboxylic acid

 

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.

Separation of Furfural on Newcrom R1 HPLC column

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

Furfural 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.
