Analysis of Anionic Surfactants by Prominence-i and RF-20Axs Fluorescence Detector

Introduction

According to the Ministerial Ordinance on Water Quality Standards1), an HPLC method using a fluorescence detector has been adopted as the test method for anionic surfactants2). (Please refer to Application News No. L303.) Since either the RF-20A or RF-20Axs fluorescence detector can be connected to the new Prominence-i integrated high-performance liquid chromatograph, the combination of integrated operability and high-sensitivity fluorescence detection is possible. Here we present an example of the analysis of five anionic surfactants using the Prominence-i integrated high performance liquid chromatograph with the RF-20Axs high-sensitivity fluorescence detector.
