· High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Codeine , Guaifenesin
Codeine is a pain reliever and cough suppressant . It belongs to the opioid family (like morphine, but milder). Guaifenesin is an expectorant , which helps loosen mucus in your chest so you can cough it up more easily.
Codeine , Guaifenesin can be retained and analyzed using the Primesep 100 stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water, acetonitrile (MeCN), and sulfuric acid. Detection is performed using UV at 270 nm.
