TRIETHYLAMINE HPLC
Triethylamine is used to mask free silanol groups on the HPLC column and therefore it improves peak shape of the analytes. Moreover it can be used to increase/adjust the pH of the mobile phase and serve both the purpose of pH adjustment and peak shape improvement.
Quantity per unit: 150.00
Application
Triethylamine is mainly used in the production of quaternary ammonium compounds for textile auxiliaries and quaternary ammonium salts of dyes. It is also a catalyst and acid neutralizer for condensation reactions and is useful as an intermediate for manufacturing medicines, pesticides and other chemicals.

Procedure
Triethylammonium acetate is a volatile buffering agent, which, when diluted in water, maintains pH at about 7.
Note
The acidity or basicity of the mobile phase can have a significant influence on separation. Acetic acid and triethylamine, as two traditional mobile phase additives in reverse phase HPLC, were employed to establish acidic or alkaline conditions, respectively.
