Application Notes
Chiral Separation of d and l Propanolol HCl by HPLC/ELSD
The chiral separation of d and l forms of propanolol hydrochloride was performed by reversed phase HPLC with detection by both UV and by evaporative light scattering.
Chiral Separation of d and l Propanolol Hydrochloride, Alltech Application Note 0031E, June 23, 2000.
The chiral separation of d and l forms of propanolol hydrochloride was performed by reversed phase HPLC using isocratic elution in around 20 minutes on an Astec Cyclobond 1 2000, 5µm, 250 x 4.6mm column (Part No. 410101) using TEA and acetonitrile/methanol. Detection was achieved both UV at 254 nm and 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.
Key Analyte(s)
d-propanolol hydrochloride
l-propanolol hydrochloride
Technique
HPLCHigh Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)is a technique for separating components in a sample on the basis of interactions between the component, a liquid mobile phase and a solid stationary phase.
