Abstract:
An analytical method for the simultaneous separation and quantitation of ten colorants and six antioxidants used as polymer additives has been developed by transferring chromatographic conditions from two independent HPLC methods to a single ultraperformance liquid chromatography system. An experimental design was carried out to achieve the best elution gradient for separation of all the studied compounds with the best possible peak resolution and in the shortest possible analysis time. The new method gives good values for the analytical quality parameters evaluated.
