Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To establish an ion chromatography method for determination of ammonium chloride in Xiao'er Zhike syrup.
METHODS The chromatographic separation was performed on an IonPac
TMAS11-HC anion exchange column (2.0 mm×250 mm) and IonPac
TM AG11-HC guard column(2.0 mm×50 mm), using suppressed conductivity detector, the temperature of the detection tank and the column were set at 35℃ and 30℃ respectively, the injection volume was 25 μL, an isocratic eluent of 10 mmol·L
-1 KOH was chosen as mobile phase and the flow rate was 0.5 mL·min
-1.
RESULTS A good linear relationship between the peak area and its concentration was observed within the range of 10
-400 μg·mL-1(r=1.000 0, n=6); The average recovery was 100.57%(RSD=0.41%, n=6).CONCLUSION The method is specific and accurate, and can be used for determination of ammonium chloride in Xiao'er Zhike syrup.
