Compound: Caffeine
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).

HPLC Separation of Coffee |
 |
Application Notes: The amount of caffeine in regular and decaffeinated coffee can be determined using a Primesep SB column. The HPLC method combines reversed-phase and polar interactions to elute caffeine without interference from the coffee complex mixture. This method can be made even more robust by incorporating a diverter valve and a guard column to prevent late eluting components from sticking to the Primesep SB column. The sample is injected onto the guard column and after a defined time point, the eluent flow is reversed to elute the caffeine peak onto the analytical column without the late eluters that can shorten column life. The HPLC separation uses a mobile phase of water, methanol (MeOH) and phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and UV detection at 270 nm. Application Analytes: Application Detection: |

HPLC Separation of Components of Excedrin |
 |
Application Notes: Excedrin is over-the-counter pain reliever containing acetaminophen, caffeine and aspirin as active ingredients of this drug composition. Acetaminophen (paracetamol) is used as analgesic and pain reliever. It is a neutral compound with low hydrophobicity. Aspirin or acetylsalicylic acid is used as analgesic and anti-inflammatory component of many OTC compositions. It is weakly acidic and slightly hydrophobic compound. Caffeine is xanthine alkaloid which is psychoactive stimulant drug. All four compounds are separated on mixed-mode Primesep 100 HPLC column with acetonitrile/water/TFA mobile phase. In this HPLC application compounds are retained by reversed phase mechanism. This HPLC method is short and robust. Application Analytes: Application Detection: |
