UV-Vis Spectrum of Propranolol
July 11, 2025

For optimal results in HPLC analysis, it is recommended to measure absorbance at a wavelength that matches the absorption maximum of the compound(s) being analyzed. The UV spectrum shown can assist in selecting an appropriate wavelength for your analysis. Please note that certain mobile phases and buffers may block wavelengths below 230 nm, rendering absorbance measurement at these wavelengths ineffective. If detection below 230 nm is required, it is recommended to use acetonitrile and water as low UV-transparent mobile phases, with phosphoric acid and its salts, sulfuric acid, and TFA as buffers.
For some compounds, the UV-Vis Spectrum is affected by the pH of the mobile phase. The spectra presented here are measured with an acidic mobile phase that has a pH of 3 or lower.
HPLC Method for Analysis of Propranolol
May 10, 2016
Propranolol is a synthetic, non-cardioselective beta-adrenergic antagonist that is used for the therapy of hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, angina pectoris, hyperthyroidism, as well as after a heart attack to improve the chance of survival. Dizziness, lightheadedness, or tiredness may occur after the intake of the medication. Primesep 200, a reverse phase column, contains embedded acidic ionizable groups and can retain Propranolol. The method is UV compatible and can be used as a general approach for analyzing similar compounds.
