The possibility of using mobile phases with ion-pairing reagents for HPLC determination of benzethonium chloride in eye drops was studied. The most suitable mobile phases among those studied were acetonitrile:aqueous tetrabutylammonium hydrophosphate (5 mM) (65:35) and acetonitrile:aqueous tetrabutylammonium hydrophosphate (2.5 mM) and sodium heptanesulfonate (2.5 mM) (65:35). The most efficient chromatography columns for the benzethonium peak were Zorbax SB C8 (150 × 4.6 mm, 3.5 μm) and Diaspher-110-Phenyl (150 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm).
