Primesep 100 separates a mixture of amino acids (tyrosine, phenylalanine), organic acids (benzoic acid, mandelic acid), amines (benzylamine, pyridine), and neutrals (benzonitrile, toluene) in one HPLC run by combining reversed-phase, cation-exchange, and polar interactions. The method is tunable and peak order can be changed significantly by adjusting acetonitrile and trifluoroacetic acid concentrations. The separation method uses a mobile phase mixture of water, acetonitrile (MeCN, ACN) and trifluoracetic acid (TFA) and compatible with UV, mass spec (LC/MS) and evaporative light scattering (ELSD) detection.

Primesep A separates acids, bases, and neutrals in one injection. Maleic acid, benzonitrile, and benzylamine are baseline resolved by a combination of reversed-phase, ion-exchange, and ion-exclusion mechanisms. Excellent peak shape results with a mass spec compatible mobile phase of water, acetonitrile (MeCN, ACN) and trifluoracetic acid (TFA) with UV detection at 210 nm.

Primesep 100 retains and separates an acid, base, and neutral in one HPLC injection. Maleic acid, benzylamine, and benzonitrile are resolved by ion-exclusion, ion-exhange and reversed-phase modes. The separation uses a mobile phase of water, acetonitrile (MeCN, ACN) and trifluoracetic acid (TFA) with UV detection at 210 nm.

In mixed-mode chromatography, retention time and elution order can be changed for acidic analytes based on the pH of the mobile phase. In this application, the order of elution for benzoic acid and benzonitrile is changed by changing the pH of the mobile phase. At lower pH (pH-2, TFA), ionization of carboxylic acid fragment of benzoic acid is totally suppressed (not ionized), and benzoic acid does not show any anion-exchange properties. As the pH of the mobile phase increases (pH 4, formic acid), the carboxylic acid fragment of benzoic acid is ionized and participates in ion-exchange interaction with positively charged sites of the mixed-mode column. In most cases, changing pH does not change retention of neutral analytes. Mixed-mode chromatography is compatible with all detection techniques (UV, ELSD, CAD, LC/MS, etc.)

 This application shows the effect of mobile phase composition on retention of acidic, basic and neutral compound. Retention of basic and acidic compounds is controlled by buffer pH and concentration, while retention of neutral compound is controlled by the amount of acetonitrile. Buffer pH changes not only ionization state of ionizable basic and acidic compounds, but ionization state of trimodal stationary phase Obelisc R. Available detection techniques include UV, ELSD, LC/MS, and Corona.

 Parabens are common preservatives in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. They are esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid. Method for separation of methyl paraben, propyl paraben, benzonitrile and toluene was developed on a Obelisc R column. All four compounds are neutral and are retained by reverse-phase mechanism. In case of reversed-phase stationary phase, no effect of pH is observed. Retention time for all four compounds changes on an Obelisc R column when pH is changed. pH of the mobile phase affects ionization state of stationary phase. Obelisc R column has C12 carbon chain and carboxylic acid with pKa of 4. At lower pH (pH 2, TFA), carboxylic acid of stationary phase is not ionized and thus adds hydrophobicity to stationary phase. Obelisc R column can be used for analysis of basic, acidic and neutral compounds with suitable detection techniques - UV, ELSD, CAD, LC/MS.

Dequalinium, or Dequadin, is an antiseptic and disinfectant. It consists of two quaternary amines connected by C10 hydrophobic chain. It's a strongly basic compound that is hard to analyze on reverse phase column and obtain good peak shape. Compound shows a significant tailing (symmetry below 0.5 and USP tailing factor of over 2) due to interaction of quaternary groups with residual silanols. In this HPLC application dequalinium is analyzed on Primesep D mixed-mode column with perfect symmetry and high efficiency. Primesep D column has hydrophobic chain and a basic group close to the surface of silica gel. This group provides shielding effect and prevents interaction between acidic silanol groups and quaternary amines of dequalinium. Method can be used for analysis and quantitation of hydrophobic amines when peak shape is not satisfactory on traditional HPLC columns. Relative comparison of several modern LC columns (Zorbax from Agilent, XTerra from Waters and Gemini from Phenomenex) shows that Primesep D mixed-mode column can be successfully used in determination of hydrophobic quaternary amines and diamines. If a compound is retained on C18 column with poor peak shape, switching to mixed-mode column can provide a valuable alternative. Benzonitrile is used to ensure high quality of packing and good peak shape for neutral analytes. Method uses trifluoroacetic acid as an additive to the mobile phase. Other acids and buffers can be used depending on the detection technique.
