Furan is a chemical contaminant that forms in some foods during traditional heat treatment techniques, such as cooking, jarring, and canning. The compounds can be retained and separated in HPLC using Newcrom R1 reverse-phase column. The analytical method’s mobile phase consists of a gradient of acetonitrile (ACN) in water with phosphoric acid (H3PO4) buffer and using UV detection at 210 and 275 nm.

Application Column
Newcrom R1
The Newcrom columns are a family of reverse-phase-based columns. Newcrom A, AH, B, and BH are all mixed-mode columns with either positive or negative ion-pairing groups attached to either short (25 Å) or long (100 Å) ligand chains. Newcrom R1 is a special reverse-phase column with low silanol activity.
