HPLC Application: Control of Cation Exchange Properties by pH of Primesep C Column

Separation of Control of Cation Exchange Properties by pH of Primesep C Column

Application Notes:

Primesep C demonstrates the control of ion-exchange properties of Primesep columns. The peak order of caffeine and benzylamine in a mixture of caffeine, benzylamine, and phenol reverses when the mobile phase modifier is changed from ammonium acetate to trifluoroacetic acid. Control of the separation is possible even with mass spec (LC/MS) compatible mobile phases of water, acetonitrile (MeCN, ACN) and ammonium acetate or trifluoroacetic acid (TFA).

Application Columns:

Primesep^® C is a mixed-mode HPLC column with reversed-phase, ion-exchange and host-guest complex formation properties. The Primesep C stationary phase combines a hydrophobic chain and an acidic functional group as a cation exchanger. Acids, bases, and neutrals can be retained and separated by Primesep 100 columns. Primesep C retains hydrophobic compounds by a reversed phase. Strongly polar and basic compounds such as quaternary amines are retained without the use of ion-pairing reagent by reversed phase and ion exchange. An unusual elution order compared to other HPLC columns is found for primary, secondary, and tertiary amines. Methods can be developed on Primesep columns that are fully compatible with detectors such as UV, RI, conductivity, fluorescence, evaporative light scattering (ELSD) as well as mass spectrometers (LC/MS) and preparative chromatography (prep HPLC) systems.
