Access the UV-Vis Spectrum SIELC Library
If you are looking for optimized HPLC method to analyze Selenious Acid check our HPLC Applications library
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 Selenious Acid (Se 4 + form) on Newcrom BH Column
July 11, 2017
Selenious Acid is used in protecting and changing the color of steel, most often in weaponry. It is highly toxic in excessive quantities, and if ingested, it could lead to death. The Acid is also capable of penetrating the skin and can produce acute poisonings. Newcrom BH, a reverse-phase column, contains embedded basic ionizable groups and can retain Selenious Acid. The method is UV compatible and can be used as a general approach for analyzing similar compounds.
