Increase Data Quality for Sulfonamide Residue Analysis by HPLC and UHPLC Using Unique Biphenyl Column Selectivity
31 Dec 2014The analysis of antibiotic residues in food-producing animals is important worldwide for evaluating food safety and maintaining compliance with export regulations. Sulfonamides are a specific concern, as drugs in this antibiotic class are commonly used in feed additives for livestock in order to fight infections and maintain desired growth levels. In this application note, the unique selectivity and high retention of biphenyl columns produce complete separations and benefit both UV and MS detection. In addition, biphenyl columns in a UHPLC format allow faster sample throughput, while maintaining good separation of target compounds.

UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns. For more specialized HPLC, explore FPLC, countercurrent LC and simulated moving bed systems.
