HPLC Method for Separation Povidone-iodine (PVP-I) on PVP Column

 

HPLC Method for Iodide, PVP on PVP by SIELC Technologies

High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Iodide, PVP

Polidone Iodide (Povidone-Iodine / PVP-I)
Polidone Iodide, also known as Povidone-Iodine (PVP-I), is a widely used antiseptic made from iodine and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). This combination allows for a slow, sustained release of iodine, enhancing antimicrobial effects while reducing irritation.

PVP (Polyvinylpyrrolidone): A water-soluble synthetic polymer that acts as:

  • Stabilizer
  • Emulsifier
  • Solubilizer
  • Protective colloid

It helps form a stable complex with iodine, improving its medical use.

Iodine: The active antimicrobial agent, effective against:

  • Bacteria
  • Viruses
  • Fungi
  • Protozoa

Slow release from the PVP complex ensures long-lasting, gentle antiseptic action.

Iodide, PVP can be retained and analyzed using the PVP column. The analysis utilizes an step gradient method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water, acetonitrile (MeCN), and ammonium acetate. Detection is performed using ELSD.
