This invention discloses an
HPLC method for determining the ortho-O
iron content in
EDDHA-Fe chelates, comprising the following steps: S1. Sample pretreatment: S11. The sample is first extracted with an
aqueous solution, followed by
solid-liquid separation; S12. The
liquid phase is purified by passing it through a strong acid cation exchange resin to obtain a purified solution; S13. EDTA salt is added to obtain a
test solution; S2. HPLC detection: A C18 reversed-phase column is used, with
gradient elution using mobile phase A and mobile phase B; mobile phase A is a 0.05-0.15% (w / w)
aqueous solution of
phosphoric acid with a pH of 2.5-3.0; mobile phase B is
methanol. This invention, through optimized chromatographic conditions and innovative sample pretreatment, establishes a high-resolution, interference-resistant method for O-O detection, solving the problems of insufficient resolution, interference
ion influence, and inaccurate quantification in existing methods.
