Non-Ionic Detergent Glucopyranosides by HPLC/ELSD, UV

Application Notes

Non-Ionic Detergent Glucopyranosides by HPLC/ELSD, UV

Glucopyranosides in non-ionic detergent were separated by reversed phase HPLC and detected by evaporative light scattering and UV at 220nm.

Non-Ionic Detergent Glucopyranosides, Alltech Application Note 0010E, May 2, 2000.

Glucopyranosides in non-ionic detergent were separated isocratically in around 5 minutes by reversed phase HPLC on an Econosphere C18, 5µm, 150 x 4.6mm column (Part No. 70065) using methanol/water and were detected by UV at 220nm and by evaporative light scattering using an Alltech 500 ELSD (Evaporative Light Scattering Detector.)

The UV detection did not resolve the individual glucopyranosides, while the ELSD produced distinct peaks for n-decyl B-D-glucopyranoside, n-octyl B-D-glucopyranoside and n-dodecyl B-D-glucopyranoside.

In ELSD, the mobile phase is first evaporated. Solid particles remaining from the sample are then carried in the form of a mist into a cell where they are detected by a laser.
