I'm trying to quantify glycerol electro oxidation product by HPLC with UV detector, can anyone suggest a good method? What method can I use to quantify the standards (tatronic acid, glycerin acid, glycerylhadehide and mesooxalic acid). I tried using the following:
Mobile phase: 5mM H2SO4
Solvent: 0.5 M H2SO4
Wavelength: 210 nm
Temperature: 70 oC
Column: C18
Flow rate: 1 ml/min
and I keep getting funny results. The retention time for all the samples ranges between 3.1 and 3.3 min.
