Summary

The peptide antibiotic Colistin has been successfully separated into more than thirty components on a YMC-Pack Pro, C-18 column with a mobile phase of acetonitrile—sodium sulphate (0.7% m/v)—phosphoric acid (6.8% v/v dilution of 85% m/m H3PO4)—water (21.5∶50∶5∶23.5) at 1.0 mL per min and detection at 215 nm. Baseline resolution of the major components, colistin A and B, and many minor components was obtained. Robustness was evaluated by performing a full-factorial design experiment. The method showed good selectivity, repeatability, linearity and sensitivity.
