Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To use ion chromatography method to optimize the assay of ammonium in pediatric compound aminoacid injection.
METHODS The IC method was performed on a cation exchange column RFICTM IonPac® CG16 (4 mm×50 mm), CS16(4 mm×250 mm) by gradient elution at a flow rate of 1.0 mL·min
-1. The mobile phase A was 20 mmol·L
-1 methanesulfonic acid, the mobile phase B was 100 mmol·L
-1 methanesulfonic acid. The detector was conductivity detector with a suppressor(CERS 300, 4 mm) and the injection volume was 25 μl.
RESULTS The linear range of the ammonium was 0.149 9-5.997 9 μg·mL
-1(
r=0.998 4). The average recovery of it was 96.8% and the RSD was 2.82%.
CONCLUSION The method was specific, accurate and suitable for the assay of ammonium for quantitative control of pediatric compound aminoacid injection.
