Nitrates and nitrites are polar inorganic ions. Nitrates are mainly used as fertilizers and as the oxidizing agents in the production of explosives. Both nitrates and nitrites are used as food additives/components. Both ions are considered toxic and methods for determination in various samples are very critical for examples in food safety. We have developed a simple mixed-mode approach to separate and analyze these two ions in one run. Both ions have good UV activity and a UV detector can be used for monitoring these two ions during the elution from the Heritage MA mixed-mode HPLC column. This method is also compatible with MS, ELSD and CAD detection, and can be used for analysis of acidic organic and inorganic ions in one run. The retention time is adjusted by the buffer pH and buffer concentration.

Nitrates and nitrites are polar inorganic ions. Nitrates are mainly used as fertilizers and as oxidizing agents in the production of explosives. Both nitrates and nitrites are used as food additives/components. Both ions are considered toxic and methods for determination* in various samples are very critical for examples in food safety. We have developed a simple, mixed-mode approach to separate and analyze these two ions in one run. ELSD was used for monitoring these two ions during the elution from the Heritage MA mixed-mode HPLC column. This method is also compatible with MS, ELSD and CAD detection, and can be used for the analysis of acidic organic and inorganic ions in one run. Nitrate and nitrite are retained by an ion-exchange mechanism at low organic concentration (below 60% ACN). The retention time is adjusted by the buffer pH and buffer concentration. The ions are retained by the combination of HILIC and anion-exchange when more than 60% of ACN is used. The amount of ACN, buffer pH and buffer concentration will affect elution, retention and resolution of separation
