The invention discloses a method for detecting the content of
formaldehyde in
polyethylene glycol 400, and relates to the technical field of detection. The invention relates to a method for detecting the content of
formaldehyde in
polyethylene glycol 400, which comprises the following steps: S1, precisely weighing 4-(3-methylphenyl)-2H-
pyridine [4, 3, e]-1, 2, 4-thiodiazine-1, 1-dioxo, and adding
methanol to dissolve the 4-(3-methylphenyl)-2H-
pyridine [4, 3, e]-1, 2, 4-thiodiazine-1, 1-dioxo to prepare a reference solution; s2, precisely weighing
polyethylene glycol 400 and reactants to prepare a
test solution; and S3, respectively detecting the
test solution and the reference solution by adopting a
high performance liquid chromatography, and calculating the content of
formaldehyde in
polyethylene glycol 400, wherein the chromatographic conditions of the
high performance liquid chromatography are as follows:
gradient elution is adopted; a
chromatographic column is characterized in that octadecylsilane chemically bonded silica is used as a
stationary phase; the mobile phase comprises a first mobile phase and a second mobile phase, the first mobile phase is a
buffer solution, and the second mobile phase is an
organic solvent. The method provided by the invention can accurately measure the content of formaldehyde in
polyethylene glycol 400.
