Data and Results Fluoride calibration curve
Data and Results Chloride calibration curve
Conclusion • Four toothpaste brands were analyzed for their fluoride and chloride contents (Sensodyne, Colgate, Close-Up and Hapee). • Standards were run in the ion chromatograph, and the retention times and the concentration-peak area relationships of each were drawn from the data. • Out of which only Sensodyne and Hapee showed quantifiable amounts of chloride in the toothpaste formulation. • Calculation yielded concentrations of 0.00923% and 0.016% chloride in both toothpastes, respectively. • Other samples had no sufficiently quantifiable amounts of both anions, suspected to be consequence of matrix effect.
Recommendations • Use other MP: carbonate/bicarbonate buffer, KOH • Use gradient elution • Standard addition instead of calibration curve • Homogenization of samples • Analyze other anions (MFP, benzoate, sulfate, phosphate) • Method validation
