Discussion
This Cogent Bidentate C18 column was used to quickly separate four proprietary phenolic compounds
(precursors for a catalyst) under Normal Phase conditions. The separation shown is extremely reproducible
(%RSD 0.2) and the solvents do not need to be dried before use as with other normal phase columns, saving
time and lab resources.
Notes:
- This method can also be used with Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization in the positive or negative
mode: APCI+, APCI-
- The column used for this application was previously used under Reversed Phase condition. Switching the
column to Normal Phase mode required flushing 100% methanol for 10 minutes followed by 100% Methylene
Chloride for 10 minutes. This process can be repeated over and over without damage to the column and can go
back and forth between modes.
