Shodex: Packed Columns for HPLC Analysis

Procaine and Procaineamide

When using an alkaline eluent with a higher pH than the pKa sample value, basic drug components which have tertiary amino groups can be retained by the column because the amino groups are not dissociated and, in consequence, the hydrophobicity of the drug components decrease. Such analysis conditions can be realized for Asahipak ODP-50 4D because it can be used with alkaline eluent at pH11.
