Carbocysteine is a medication that reduces the viscosity of mucus making it easier to cough up. Methylparaben and propylparaben are used as preservatives in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and food. They can be separated in HPLC on a Primesep 100 mixed-mode column by both hydrophobic and ionic properties present on the stationary phase. The analytical method uses acetonitrile (ACN) gradient and water with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) as buffer and UV detected at 200nm.

Application Column
Primesep 100
The Primesep family of mixed-mode columns offers a wide variety of stationary phases, boasting unprecedented selectivity in the separation of a broad array of chemical compounds across multiple applications. Corresponding Primesep guard columns, available with all stationary phases, do not require holders. SIELC provides a method development service available to all customers.
