HPLC Analysis of Drug Lorazepam and Related Impurities on Coresep 100 Mixed-Mode Column

Application description

Lorazepam is one of the benzodiazepine drugs which is used to treat anxiety disorders, sleeping issues, active seizures (including status epilepticus), alcohol withdrawals, and chemotherapy induced nausea. Aso, it can be used for surgery to interfere with memory formation and to sedate those who are being mechanically ventilated. Lorazepam is hydrophobic and neutral in nature. It is retained by reversed-phase mechanism on the Coresep 100 mixed-mode column. Ionizable impurities are retained and separated by reversed-phase, cation-exchange and anion-exclusion mechanisms. Various mobile phases can be used with Coresep 100 column to accommodate numerous detection techniques. UV transparent buffers can be replaced with volatile buffers for MS, ELSD or CAD detection. Core-shell mixed-mode columns provide great combination of unique selectivity, speed and efficiency.
