◆Measurement of Zinc Oxide in Sunscreen Using Ion Chromatography with Visible Absorbance Detection◆ Sunscreens are classified as over-the-counter (OTC) drugs in the United States, and zinc oxide is one of the active ingredients that has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in sunscreens (with a maximum concentration of 25%). Zinc oxide is a powdered mineral that adheres to the outermost layer of the skin, acting as a broad-spectrum blocking agent that scatters, reflects, and absorbs ultraviolet radiation, providing protection from both UVA and UVB radiation, making it unique among sunscreen ingredients. The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) has developed monographs for FDA-approved drugs, including OTC medications, and is working to obtain the necessary information to maintain high-quality pharmaceuticals. It has also initiated a global effort to update many existing monographs across all official methods. As part of this USP initiative, the addition of an ion chromatography (IC) method for zinc measurement in General Chapter <591> is proposed. This method will serve as an alternative to the existing titration-based analytical methods in the monographs for zinc-containing pharmaceuticals. *Please download from the catalog at the bottom of the page.*

Ion exchange separation occurs due to the competition between the measurement ions and the eluent ions on the ion exchange sites. One of the factors that affects this ion exchange separation is the change in the flow rate of the eluent. I will explain the differences in the chromatograms obtained by varying the flow rate of the eluent and the points to be cautious about.

Ion exchange separation occurs due to the competition between the measured ions and the eluent ions on the ion exchange sites. One factor that affects this ion exchange separation is hydrophobic interaction. I will explain this factor of hydrophobicity.

Ion exchange separation occurs due to the competition between the measurement ions and the eluent ions on the ion exchange sites. One of the factors that affects this ion exchange separation is the change in column temperature. When the column temperature is altered, the retention time of the measurement ions changes due to variations in separation equilibrium, diffusion rates, degree of dissociation, and the viscosity of the eluent. The impact of temperature varies depending on the type of measurement ions and also changes with different columns and eluents. This factor of temperature will be explained.

Ion exchange separation occurs due to the competition between the measurement ions and the eluent ions on the ion exchange sites. This explains the concentration and types of eluent that affect this ion exchange separation.

Ion exchange separation is the fundamental mechanism of separation in ion chromatography, where ionic components repeatedly adsorb and desorb between the ion exchange sites and the electrolyte solution. This principle and its characteristics will be explained.

As a separation method in ion chromatography, ion exchange is mainly used. Understanding the principle of ion exchange will help in adjusting the separation to meet measurement objectives and in selecting the appropriate column. This introduces the ion exchangers packed in columns for ion chromatography.

Organic acids have been analyzed using GC, LC, and IC; however, some organic acids lack functional groups that have UV absorption and their response is insufficient, leading to a problem where adequate sensitivity for detection cannot be achieved when analyzed by LC. Additionally, GC requires the derivatization of samples for the analysis of organic acids, which demands more effort and skill. One technique for the separation and detection of various organic acids is ion chromatography with suppressor-type conductivity detection, but some organic acids cannot be separated using common elution solutions. In such cases, connecting a mass spectrometer behind the conductivity detector facilitates the identification and quantification of co-eluting organic acids. The Thermo Scientific ISQ EC single quadrupole mass spectrometer enhances the reliability of analysis by improving sensitivity, precision, and quantitativeness. This application note presents an example of the quantitative analysis of organic acids by combining IC with mass spectrometric detection, where organic acids separated using AS11-HC-4 μm were accurately quantified by mass spectrometric detection.

Generally, isocratic conditions are used for elution in ion chromatography; however, when analyzing diverse ionic species, separation can be difficult and may not be achievable under isocratic elution conditions. In such cases, using hydroxide ions and performing gradient analysis with a concentration gradient can improve separation. Gradient analysis is a method that enhances separation by increasing the concentration of the eluent from low to high during the analysis, allowing components that are retained more easily to elute faster. We will introduce examples of the separation of inorganic anions and organic acids regarding the separation of ionic species due to changes in eluent concentration and the setting of gradient conditions. By using an eluent generator system, it is possible to supply accurate and high-purity eluent simply by sending ultrapure water. Additionally, gradient analysis can be easily performed with just the concentration settings from the workstation. Furthermore, the Thermo Scientific Virtual Column Separation Simulator can generate virtual chromatograms under gradient conditions online. Please utilize it for examining analytical conditions.

PFAS compounds include perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), and due to the increasing number of organic fluorine compounds that impact the environment and precursors that cannot yet be analyzed, there is a demand for the development of suitable analytical methods. As a result, there is a growing need for a single analytical workflow that can directly quantify as many PFAS as possible. Traditional ion chromatography (IC) cannot directly analyze non-ionic perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). However, using continuous ion chromatography (CIC), it is possible to measure organic halogen contaminants such as AOX. Unlike the conventional titration AOX method, which only measures the total organic halogens, CIC provides additional information on adsorptive organic fluorine compounds and allows for the speciation of halogens. *Please note that the ion chromatograph introduced in this application note has been discontinued. The successor model is the Thermo Scientific Dionex Inuvion IC system.*

N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) is an organic compound represented by the chemical formula (CH3)2NNO. NDMA is a known carcinogen found in some fermented foods. The measurement of nitrite ions can be performed using wet chemical analysis, but a representative method in instrumental analysis is ion chromatography (IC). In IC, separation is achieved using an ion exchange column, and detection is carried out using conductivity detection, electrochemical detection, UV detection, or mass spectrometry. Methods using IC typically require little to no sample pretreatment for many pharmaceutical samples, and derivatization of the target components is also unnecessary.

The analytical methods for high-concentration sodium hydroxide (NaOH) are specified in JIS K1200 Industrial Sodium Hydroxide Parts 1 to 10. Among these, the methods for measuring chlorides include the mercuric thiocyanate spectrophotometric method, the modified Holthart method, and the ion chromatography analysis method. The mercuric thiocyanate spectrophotometric method is often avoided due to the strict handling and management of mercury compounds. The modified Holthart method quantifies chlorides by adding an excess of silver nitrate solution and performing back titration with ammonium thiocyanate solution, but it is not suitable for quantifying low-concentration chlorides in samples. The ion chromatography analysis method involves complex pretreatment operations and carries the risk of sample contamination; however, this application note introduces a method that automates the pretreatment step using cation exchange resin inline. This automated pretreatment is a technique for inline neutralization using our suppressor technology. It can accommodate not only NaOH but also many high-concentration basic samples, allowing for the analysis of anionic components in the samples.
