This application note describes a convenient, fast, and sensitive method that uses a Thermo Scientific™ Dionex™ CarboPac™ PA300 column and electrolytic eluent generation. The Dionex CarboPac PA300-4μm column is packed with a new 4 μm particle size supermacroporous resin to achieve high efficiency and high-resolution separations. Using this column, a 16.8 min method that resolved six analytes, including glycol and other carbohydrates, was designed. Results for method linearity, robustness, and accuracy for glycol and carbohydrate quantification in OTC samples are discussed here.
Two oral, over-the-counter medications were evaluated as representative pharmaceutical products. A cough suppressant and a multisymptom cold/flu medication were chosen because they contain a complex mixture of simple sugars, glycols,and sugar alcohols. These carbohydrates and glycols are also commonly found in other medications. This method uses the CarboPac MA1 column to retain and separate the target analytes.
This application note describes the use of three different anion-exchange columns with amperometric detection to analyze common simple sugars, sugar alcohols, and glycols in pharmaceutical formulations. This record describes a method using the CarboPac PA10 column to determine some of the target carbohydrates. The reader is advised to review TN21 for updated waveform information.
This application note describes the use of three different anion-exchange columns with amperometric detection to analyze common simple sugars, sugar alcohols, and glycols in pharmaceutical formulations. The method in this entry shows how to determine glycols using ion-exclusion chromatography on Dionex ICE-AS1 column.
Glucosamine (GlcN), a naturally occurring amino sugar, is a major structural component in the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans. Use of GlcN as a dietary supplement in the management of osteoarthritis has attracted considerable attention. Pulsed amperometric detection (PAD) is sensitive and selective and therefore ideally suited for determination of GlcN. High-performance anion-exchange with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAE-PAD) chromatography is a sensitive, direct-detection technique capable of separating mono- and disaccharides rapidly and efficiently.
