HPLC Method for Separation of Inorganic Anions (NO₃⁻, PO₄³⁻, SO₄²⁻) on Chromni Column

HPLC Method for Nitrate, Phosphate, Selenate on Chromni by SIELC Technologies

High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Nitrate, Phosphate, Selenate.

Nitrate, NO3–, is a compound of nitrogen and oxygen. It is essential as a nutrient in plants; therefore, it is often used in fertilizers. It is easily found in leafy greens. While it is important for cardiovascular health, too high of exposure to it can be dangerous.

Phosphate, PO43-, is a compound that plays an important part in biological energy transfer. It contains phosphorus, which is also a key component in bones and teeth. It is also a buffer, which helps maintain pH levels in a body.

Selenate is an ion of selenium with the chemical formula SeO32-. It is a good oxidizer, easily reduced to selenite and selenium.

Nitrate, Phosphate, Selenate can be retained and analyzed using the Chromni stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile (MeCN) with a ammonium formate buffer. Detection is performed using ELSD.
