he United States Pharmacopeia (USP)
has designations for all columns stationary phases used in the monograph methods. These designations
outline the stationary phase type, i.e. fully porous or solid-core, and any ligand attachments, i.e. C18 or
Phenyl to be used.1 However, beyond that no column specifics are given. With a multitude of columns
that fit into the different designations, understanding that not all columns are the same is vital when
selecting a stationary phase for a monograph method. This application note examines three columns
that all fit into the L1 designation when analyzing paracetamol impurities. Selectivity differences
between the columns are considered in relation to the impurities.
