Separation of Theophylline monohydrate on Newcrom R1 HPLC column

May 16, 2018
Separation of Theophylline monohydrate on Newcrom R1 HPLC column

Theophylline monohydrate can be analyzed by this reverse phase (RP) HPLC method with simple conditions. The mobile phase contains an acetonitrile (MeCN), water, and phosphoric acid. For Mass-Spec (MS) compatible applications the phosphoric acid needs to be replaced with formic acid. Smaller 3 µm particles columns available for fast UPLC applications. This liquid chromatography method is scalable and can be used for isolation impurities in preparative separation. It also suitable for pharmacokinetics.

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.

Application Analytes:
Theophylline

Effect of Acid on Separation of Xanthines

July 6, 2003

Primesep B separates xanthines such as theobromine, dimethylxanthine, theophylline by a combination of reversed-phase and ion-exchange mechanisms. The anion-exchange properties of the column allow retention of hydrophilic xanthines, and the reversed-phase properties retain hydrophobic compounds. The HPLC separation uses a mobile phase of water, acetonitrile (MeCN, ACN) and either trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), perchloric acid (HClO4), or sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and UV detection.

Condition

Column Primesep B
Mobile Phase MeCN/H2O
Buffer TFA , HClO4, H2SO4
Flow Rate 1.0 ml/min
