Separation of Sodium

Reverse Elution Order in Separation of Alkali Cation



Primesep C separates a mixture of inorganic cations, potassium, sodium, and lithium, by a combination of cation exchange and complex formation. The peak order is reversed on the Primesep C column compared to the order normally obtained on columns that rely on cation exchange alone. The mobile phase mixture of water, acetonitrile (MeCN, ACN) and ammonium acetate is compatible with UV and evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD).

Application Analytes:

Lithium
Potassium
Sodium

Application Detection:

ELSD/MS Detection

Separation of Guanidine



Primesep 100 separates guanidine from its sodium counter ion on a short 50 mm column by cation exchange. Guanidine is found in urine as a product of protein metabolism and is also used in the manufacture of plastics and explosives. Guanidine is detected by UV detection at 200 nm, but UV cannot detect sodium ion. If an evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD) is used, both components can be detected. The separation method uses a mobile phase mixture of water, acetonitrile (MeCN, ACN) and trifluoracetic acid (TFA).

Application Analytes:

Guanidine
Sodium

UV Detection
ELSD/MS Detection

Complex of Cations on Primesep C is Effected by Organic Modifier



Primesep C separates a mixture of inorganic cations, potassium, sodium, and lithium, by a combination of cation exchange and complex formation. The peak order is reversed on the Primesep C column compared to the order normally obtained on columns that rely on cation exchange alone. In addition, the elution order can be rearranged by simply changing the organic modifier in the mobile phase from acetonitrile to methanol. The mobile phase mixture of water, acetonitrile (MeCN, ACN) or methanol (MeOH) and ammonium acetate is compatible with UV and evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD).

Lithium
Potassium
Sodium

Zn and Na Quantitation in Drug Substances



Primesep 100 allows the quantitation of sodium and zinc cations in a drug product sample. The cations are retained by cation exchange and the drug product is retained by hydrophobic, reversed-phase mechanisms.

Simultaneous Separation of Cations and Anions



Primesep 100 and Primesep B columns connected in series allow the quantitation of sodium chloride and potassium bromide ions in one injection. The Primesep B column retains the chloride and bromide anions by anion exchange, and the Primesep 100 retains the sodium and potassium captions by cation exchange. The separation uses a mobile phase mixture of water, acetonitrile (MeCN, ACN) and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) with evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD).

Effect of Concentration of Organic Modifier on Retention of Cation and Anions



Primesep 100 and Primesep B columns connected in series allow the quantitation of sodium chloride and potassium bromide ions in one injection. The Primesep B column retains the chloride and bromide anions by anion exchange, and the Primesep 100 retains the sodium and potassium cations by cation exchange. The retention can be adjusted by changing the water/acetonitrile ratio in the mobile phase. The separation uses a mobile phase mixture of water, acetonitrile (MeCN, ACN) and ammonium acetate with evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD).

Separation of Sodium, Potassium, Lithium, and Ammonium in Mixed-Mode HPLC


Inorganic cations and ammonia are usually analyzed by ion-exchange chromatography with a conductivity detector. Mixed-mode chromatography achieves the same goal with an ELSD detector. In addition to retaining ions, mixed-mode column can retain hydrophobic molecules also, making it possible to analyze a wide variety of ionic and non-ionic compounds in one run. In this method sodium, potassium, and lithium ions were separated along with ammonium ions on a Primesep 100 column. Detection technique is ELSD.



Application Analytes:

Ammonium Ion
Lithium
Potassium
Sodium

Application Detection:

ELSD/MS Detection

HPLC Separation of Sulfate and Phosphate Ions on Mixed-Mode HPLC



Sulfate and phosphate are separated on Primesep B2 and Primesep D column by anion-exchange mechanism. Because both sulfate and phosphate ions are not UV-active, ELSD is used to monitor separation of both anions. Method can be used to quantitate phosphate and sulfate in various pharmaceutical and chemical formulation, products and solution, drinking and ground water. Retention time is adjusted by increase or decrease of buffer concentrations. Two anions can be retained and separated on a very short column due to strong ion-exchange interaction. Method shows good reproducibility and versatility.

Application Analytes:

Sodium
Sulfate
Phosphate

Application Detection:

ELSD/MS Detection

Hydrophilic and hydrophobic quaternary amines, along with sodium ion, were separated by mixed-mode chromatography on a Primesep 200 column. Mechanism of retention for sodium and tetramethylammonium ions is cation exchange, while the tetrabutylammonium ion is retained by combination of reversed-phase and cation-exchange mechanisms. All three compounds are not UV-active and monitoring is done by ELSD/CAD.

HPLC Separation of Sugar Phosphates


Sugar phosphates occur in biological systems. Sugar phosphates are parts of two metabolic pathways: glycolisis and pentose phosphate pathways. One of the purposes of sugar phosphates is to store and transfer energy in cells. Because of the presence of sugar fragment and phosphate moiety these molecules are very polar in nature. Mixed-mode chromatography was applied for separation of glucose and fructose phosphates and diphosphates. Compounds are separated based on anion-exchange properties with diphosphates retaining longer than mono phosphates. Monitoring is done by ELSD.
