Separation of NyQuil Active Ingredients on Primesep C |
 |
Application Notes:
Primesep C separates the active ingredients in the over-the-counter cold medicine, NyQuil. Succinate and bromate co-elute early, but acetaminophen, pseudoephedrine, doxylamine, and dextromethorphan are baseline resolved. A combination of cation exchange, complex formation, and hydrophobic interactions separate this mixture with a mobile phase of water, acetonitrile (MeCN, ACN) and triethylamine (TEA) phosphate with UV detection at 205 nm.
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.

Separation of NyQuil Active Ingredients on C18 Column |
 |
Application Notes:
On a C18 column the active ingredients in the over-the-counter cold medicine NyQuil show much less retention than on a Primesep C column even with greatly reduced acetonitrile content in the mobile phase. Succinate, bromate, acetaminophen and pseudoephedrine show little or no retention, and gradient conditions would be required to shorten run time for dextromethorphan.

Comparison of the Separation of Polar Drugs on Obelisc R and Zorbax SB-AQ |
 |
Application Notes:
Application Columns:
- Obelisc R columns are the first commercially available columns with Liquid Separation Cell technology (LiSC). With multiple patents pending, LiSC technology is based on a new chemical modification of silica gel pores that creates a liquid separation cell with its own charge characteristics, ionic strength, and hydrophobic properties. Like living cells which exist in equilibrium with the outside environment, liquid separation cells exist in constant equilibrium with the mobile phase. Obelisc R, for reversed phase, has reversed-phase character and can be used in traditional, reversed-phase type applications. Due to the presence of ionic groups and a long hydrophobic chain, Obelisc R offers additional retention and tuning that is not available with traditional reversed-phase columns. Reversed-phase separations are augmented by additional ionic and polar interactions not available on traditional reversed-phase C18 columns. Mobile phase composition changes the conformation of the long hydrophobic chain and affects the properties of the liquid separation cell and changes separation selectivity. Typical mobile phases used with Obelisc R columns are based on acetonitrile, water, and the mass spec compatible buffers ammonium formate (pH 3) and ammonium acetate (pH 5). If it is necessary to detect in low UV (<220 nm) then phosphate buffer is recommended. Obelisc R columns are compatible with mass spectrometers (LC/MS), evaporative light scattering detectors and preparative chromatography (prep HPLC) systems.

HPLC Analysis of Pseudoephedrine and Citric Acid on Primesep Column |
 |
Application Notes:
Application Columns:
- Primesep® N is a normal-phase HPLC column with embedded acidic groups with a pKa of about 5. The Primesep N stationary phase retains basic compounds by cation exchange at pH > 5. Primesep N separates polar compounds by a HILIC (hydrophilic liquid chromatography) mechanism. 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.
