Assay of Acetaminophen Tablets Using HPLC Flashcards
Separation technique in which the components of a sample are distributed between the two phases
chromatography
2 phases of chromatography
- stationary phase
- mobile phase
layer or coating on the supporting medium which INTERACTS WITH THE ANALYTES
stationary phase
CARRIES THE SOLUTE across the stationary phase
mobile phase
Classification according to nature of mobile and stationary phase
- Normal
- Reverse
Polar compounds are highly adsorbed
normal
Non-polar compounds are highly adsorbed
reverse

- Stationary Phase: ______________
- Mobile Phase: __________________
SP: polar
MP: non-polar
Reverse
- Stationary Phase: ______________
- Mobile Phase: __________________
SP: non-polar
MP: polar
Normal chromatography
___________________ (polar/non-polar) phase would be eluted FIRST
non-polar
Normal chromatography
___________________ (polar/non-polar) phase would be eluted LAST
polar
Reverse chromatography
___________________ (polar/non-polar) phase would be eluted FIRST
polar
Reverse chromatography
___________________ (polar/non-polar) phase would be eluted LAST
non-polar
Mechanisms of separation
- adsorption
- partition
- ion-exchange
Separation involves COMPETING INTERACTIONS between adsorption at the stationary phase and dissolution in the mobile phase
