Separation type: Liquid Chromatography Mixed-mode
Bromhexine is a popular mucolytic used to treat excessive mucus found in the respiratory system. Ambroxol is a well-known expectorant that targets and breaks down phlegm. These two mucus thinners can be retained, analyzed, and separated on a Primesep 200 column using an isocratic analytical method with a simple mobile phase of water, Acetonitrile (MeCN), and a Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) ionic modifier. This analysis method can be detected in the low UV regime at 210 nm, 245 nm, and 315 nm.
