Description

· HPLC Method for Analysis of Ethyl red on Primesep 100 Column by SIELC Technologies

Ethyl Red is a pH indicator with C₁₇H₁₉N₃O₂ as its molecular structure. When the pH transitions from acidic to neutral, Ethyl red turns from yellow to red, hence the name. Outside of experiments, it is occasionally used as a dye in textiles and foods . You can find detailed UV spectra of Ethyl red and information about its various lambda maxima by visiting the following link.

Ethyl red can be retained and analyzed on a Primesep 100 mixed-mode stationary phase column using an isocratic analytical method with a simple isocratic mobile phase of water, Acetonitrile (MeCN), and a sulfuric acid (H2SO4) buffer.  This analysis method can be UV detected at 600 nm with high resolution and peak symmetry.
