Abstract
Benzalkonium chloride (BKC), chloroxylenol (PCMX) and chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) are widely recognized biocidal compounds that require precise control and monitoring in various applications, including cosmetics, hygiene, health and ophthalmic products. In this study, we present a straightforward and highly sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the detection of these substances. The HPLC method we developed allows for the detection of BKC at concentrations as low as 1.0 ppm, PCMX at 1.0 ppm and CHG at 2.0 ppm, all with a signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio exceeding 3.0. Additionally, the method enables quantification up to 2.0 ppm for BKC, 2.0 ppm for PCMX and 5 ppm for CHG, with an S/N ratio surpassing 10.0. This validated method serves as a versatile tool for the accurate quantification of BKC, PCMX and CHG in cosmetics, hygiene products, health products and ophthalmic products. Its applicability extends across a wide range of industries, ensuring the reliable assessment of these critical biocides.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chromatographic Science is devoted to the dissemination of information concerning all methods of chromatographic analysis. The standard manuscript is a description of recent original research that covers any or all phases of a specific separation problem, principle, or method. Manuscripts which have a high degree of novelty and fundamental significance to the field of separation science are particularly encouraged. It is expected the authors will clearly state in the Introduction how their method compares in some markedly new and improved way to previous published related methods. Analytical performance characteristics of new methods including sensitivity, tested limits of detection or quantification, accuracy, precision, and specificity should be provided. Manuscripts which describe a straightforward extension of a known analytical method or an application to a previously analyzed and/or uncomplicated sample matrix will not normally be reviewed favorably. Manuscripts in which mass spectrometry is the dominant analytical method and chromatography is of marked secondary importance may be declined.
