Antibiotics are widely used for treatment and prevention of bacterial infections. Various antibiotics, particularly those with a sulfanilamide structure, were separated in HPLC using mixed-mode columns with varying strengths of ion-pairing groups. Primesep 200 has weak acidic ion-exchange pairing groups while Newcrom A has strong acidic ion-exchange groups. In addition, methanol can be used in the mobile phase on Newcrom A column. The antibiotics were resolved on both columns with a gradient mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile (ACN) or methanol (MeOH), water and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) buffer. UV detection at 275nm.
