Separation type: Bridge Ion Separation Technology, or BIST™ by SIELC Technologies
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analyses of Brilliant Black BN and Chicago Sky Blue
Brilliant Black BN (Food Black 1, E151) and Chicago Skye Blue are two azo dyes with the unique property that they have 4 sulfonate groups. Using SIELC’s newly introduced BIST™ method, Brilliant Black BN and Chicago Sky Blue can be retained and separated into its component compounds easily on a negatively-charged, cation-exchange BIST™ A+ column. There are two keys to this retention method: 1) a multi-charged, positive buffer, such as N,N,N’,N’-Tetramethyl-1,3-propanediamine (TMDAP), which acts as a bridge, linking the negatively-charged anion analytes to the negatively-charged column surface and 2) a mobile phase consisting mostly of organic solvent (such as MeCN) to minimize the formation of a solvation layer around the charged analytes. While both of these sulfonated dyes have the same charge, their molecular structure (and therefore charge distribution) differs just enough to allow them to be separated in a high-organic MP.
Other positively-charged buffers that can generate BIST™ include DMP, Calcium acetate, and Magnesium acetate. Using this new and unique analysis method, Brilliant Black BN and Chicago Sky Blue can be retained and separated with high selectivity and great peak shape. This method can be detected and is compatible with ELSD, CAD, and Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS).

Application Column
BIST A
BIST™ columns offer a unique and effective way to achieve separations that were traditionally challenging or even impossible with other HPLC columns. With the use of a special mobile phase, these ion exchange columns provide very strong retention for analytes with the same charge polarity as the stationary phase, unlocking new chromatography applications. What makes BIST™ columns stand out is their proprietary surface chemistry, which results in superior selectivity, resolution, and sensitivity. These columns offer a simple, efficient solution for a variety of analytical challenges, making them an excellent choice for researchers and analysts across many different fields.
