HPLC Method for Analysis of Benzalkonium chloride on Primesep SB by SIELC Technologies

Benzalkonium chloride, also known as Zephiran or Alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride, is a positively charged surfactant with the chemical formula C6H5CH2N(CH3)2RCl. It is often used as a pharmaceutical preservative and as an antiseptic. You can find detailed UV spectra of Benzalkonium chloride and information about its various lambda maxima by visiting the following link.
Benzalkonium chloride can be retained on a mixed-mode stationary phase Primesep SB column with embedded strong basic ion-pairing groups, using a gradient analytical method with a simple mobile phase of water, Acetonitrile (MeCN), and a Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) ionic modifier. This analysis method can be UV detected at 210 nm with high resolution and peak symmetry.
