View on hplc.cloud

Brilliant Blue FCF (Blue 1) is a synthetic molecule used as a food coloring agent. Allura Red (Red 40) is another food colorant. Both are present in Monster Energy Ultra Violet sugar free drink. Both are disodium salts and can be separated in HPLC by our Newcrom BH mixed-mode column which utilizes both hydrophobic and ion-exchange properties. The mobile phase is methanol (MeOH) and water with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) buffer making the method MS-compatible. Can also be UV detected at 210nm

Application Column

Newcrom BH

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.
