RSpak NN-614 is packed with poly(hydroxymethacrylate) bonded with trace amounts of sulfo groups, and the main separation mode is the reversed phase mode. However, due to the sulfo groups, ion interaction also works. Acidic substances are separated by ion exclusion mode and elute faster. Neutral substances are separated by reversed phase and alkaline substances are separated by a mixture of reversed phase (in the case of hydrophobic structure) and ion exchange mode. Therefore, the elution order is basically as follows: first the acidic, then the neutral and finally the alkaline substances. The column is suited to the analysis of mixture of acidic, neutral and alkaline substances.

Polymer-based reversed-phase semi-micro column, DE413-2B was used with LC/MS detector to quantify 7 kinds of diarrheic and lipid-soluble shelfish poisons. Generally, mouse has been used for the shellfish poisoning testing, but alternative testing method was required due to animal testing’s long analysis time, low repeatability, and animal right view of points. The LC/MS method is rapid and also determines the compounds that are difficult to be detected using animal testing. DE413-2B can be used in a wide pH range (2-11) with a flexible solvent selection (any portion of 100% water to 100% selected organic solvent).
