Hi everyone. I am currently working on HPLC assay of glucosamine, in accordance to USP method. Below are some of the specs of the method:

  • Phenomenex Luna L8 column, 4.6x150mm, 5microns
  • Temperature: 35 degreeC
  • Flow rate: 1.5mL/min
  • UV detector wavelength: 195nm
  • Injection volume: 10microlitre
  • Mobile Phase: premixed (buffer:AcN=25:75)
  • There are several problems I am facing currently, such as the retention times are not at around 10min (as stated in USP). Also, I am having a problem of delaying of retention time after each injection. For example, a sequence of 6 injections that I have ran gave such retention times, from injection 1 to 6: 5.265, 5.279, 5.294, 5.303, 5.313, 5.322.

    The equilibration of the column took about 2hour before the initiation of sequence.

    Did anyone encounter such situation before? Your advice is much appreciated.
