Abstract
The important experimental design criteria for an accelerated low-pH RPLC column stability test are discussed. The influence of method variables on the amount and rate of retention-loss and the final optimized parameters for the accelerated low-pH RPLC stability test are presented. The retention-loss curves for selected C 8 and C 18 stationary phases are compared. These studies indicate that ligand chain length, functionality and bonding density play an important role in determining the low-pH stability of a stationary phase. Additionally, elemental analysis data are used to infer the mechanism responsible for the observed retention-loss under low-pH conditions.
