Nonphenol Ethoxylate Surfactant by HPLC/ELSD

Application Notes

Nonphenol Ethoxylate Surfactant by HPLC/ELSD

The surfactant nonphenol ethoxylate, was separated by normal phase HPLC and detected by evaporative light scattering.

Surfactant Nonphenol Ethoxylate, Alltech Application Note 0039E, July 10, 2000.

The surfactant nonphenol ethoxylate was separated by gradient elution in around 25 minutes by normal phase HPLC on a Supelco LC-DIOL, 250 x 4.6mm column (Part No. 88133) using hexane/methylene chloride and hexane/methanol and detected by evaporative light scattering using an Alltech 500 ELSD (Evaporative Light Scattering Detector).

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.
