Hydrogen peroxide

• Hydrogen peroxide in health care products (toothpaste)
• Fast and sensitive HPAE-PAD method
• SenCell with gold working electrode
• Green method

Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent and disinfectant used in a wide variety of applications, such as chemical synthesis, propellant (space rockets), water treatment, food processing, cosmetics, personal and health care products.

In this application note an analytical method is presented for the measurement of hydrogen peroxide in liquid samples using the DECADE Elite electrochemical detector and SenCell. The method is based on separation by High Performance Anion Exchange Chromatography followed by Pulsed Amperometric Detection (HPAE-PAD) on a gold working electrode. The use of a narrow-bore column allowed the separation of  hydrogen peroxide in less than 3 min in combination with 75% less mobile phase usage.
