Separation of Water-Soluble Vitamins Using Reversed-Phase Chromatography
The document details an alternative to routine isocratic separation for analyzing water-soluble vitamins in the pharmaceutical industry. It presents a method using reversed-phase gradient chromatography without ion pairing to separate an eight-component sample containing B vitamins, pantothenic acid, folic acid, and vitamin C.
A ZORBAX SB-C8 column with dimensions of 4.6x 150 mm is used for the analysis.
The procedure requires an injection of 10 pL and a flow rate of 1 mL/min.
Detection is performed using UV at a wavelength of 245 nm.
