Pg. Pietta et al., DETERMINATION OF SUNSCREEN AGENTS BY MICELLAR ELECTROKINETIC CHROMATOGRAPHY, Journal of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis, 13(3), 1995, pp. 229-235
The separation of UV-A and UV-B sunscreens by micellar electrokinetic
chromatography has been studied. The optimized method, which involves
the presence of an anionic surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulphate) and an
organic modifier in the background electrolyte, was applied to determ
ine these Sunscreens in cosmetic products. Identification was achieved
by ''on-line'' UV spectra. Recovery was in the range of 88-92% and th
e lower limit of detection was 0.15 mg ml(-1).
