Dimethylformamide, DMF, is primarily used as an organic solvent and is miscible with water and most other organic liquids. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is also a solvent. It can dissolve both polar and nonpolar compounds and is miscible with water and other organic liquids. Both compounds can be retained and separated using anhydrous (water-free) conditions using HPLC by SHARC 1 column, which uses hydrogen-bonding as a separation mechanism. The method uses a gradient of acetonitrile (ACN) and methanol (MeOH) mobile phase without the need for a buffer. UV detection used at 220nm.

Application Column
SHARC 1
The SHARC™ family of innovative columns represents the first commercially available columns primarily utilizing separation based on hydrogen bonding. SHARC stands for Specific Hydrogen-bond Adsorption Resolution Column. Hydrogen bonding involves an interaction or attraction between a bound hydrogen atom and molecules containing electronegative atoms, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and fluorine.
