Separation type: Liquid Chromatography Mixed-mode
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Trimellitic Anhydride and Trimellitic Acid
Trimellitic Anhydride is a common precursor to plasticizers for polyvinyl chloride (PVC); it’s acid form is Trimellitic Acid. In acidic water, Trimellitic Anhydride will ‘open up’ back into Trimellitic Acid. Trimellitic Anhydride and Trimellitic Acid can be separated, retained, and analyzed on a mixed-mode Newcrom B column with a mobile phase consisting of water, Acetonitrile (MeCN), and Formic acid (FA). This analytical method can be UV detected at 250 nm or via negatively-charged Electrospray Ionization (ESI-) with high resolution and peak symmetry.

Application Column
Newcrom B
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.
