Using benzalkonium chloride (BAK) as model compound, a mixture of cationic surfactants consisting of even-numbered alkylbenzyl quaternary ammonium homologues (C8-C18), the addition of appropriate amounts of sodium chloride and acetonitrile in the sample solution (2 mL sample volume) was found to be capable of providing ca. 40-fold enhancement in detection sensitivity.

J Chromatogr B Biomed Sci Appl. 2000 Jul 7;744(1):157-63.

Both steroid peaks have been fully resolved from the benzalkonium chloride peaks by the reported chromatographic method, which employs a C18 bonded reversed-phase column, an acetonitrile-water (50:50, v/v) mobile phase and a UV detection wavelength of 281 nm.

High performance liquid chromatography was used to measure the concentrations of ethynylestradiol (EE) and levonorgestrel (LNG) released from contraceptive devices into aqueous medium containing the cationic detergent, benzalkonium chloride.
Over the course of many injections into octasilyl (C8) or octadecylsilyl (C18) reversed-phase columns, the chromatographic profile of EE was gradually altered with multiple peaks emerging.

Serosal application of a commercial solution of benzalkonium chloride (BAC) has been shown to selectively ablate myenteric neurons in the rat jejunum.
Seven ADBAC homologs with alkyl chain lengths ranging from C6 to C18 were tested.

The residue was then reconstituted with 57% acetonitrile in water containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid and 0.005% benzalkonium chloride.
A 20-microl aliquot of the reconstituted solution was injected onto a polymer based RP-C18 column, The outlet was connected to an ion-trap mass spectrometer equipped with an ESI source, and spectra were recorded in a positive-ion, selected-ion monitoring mode.

Quantification was carried out using an external standard based on peak area summation of each benzalkonium ion (C8, C10, C12, C14, C16 and C18) in the mass spectra.

The ophthalmic solution samples can be directly analyzed by reversed-phase on HiQ-Sil C18 column (4.6 mm x 150 mm, i.d., 5-microm particle size) with acetonitrile-sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.0; 0.2 M) (70:30, v/v) as mobile phase.

J Chromatogr A. 2000 Oct 20;895(1-2):227-35.

Mixtures of the cationic surfactants benzalkonium chloride (BKC) and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) were quickly resolved and reproducibly and reliably determined by using background electrolytes (BGEs) containing 80 mM borate, pH 8.5, bile salts and large concentrations of an organic solvent.
When the bile salt is present, the separation mechanism changes from capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) to a mixed micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC)-CZE, with predominant MEKC interactions, which lead to an excellent resolution of all the solutes, including the C12-C18 homologues of BKC and CPC.

In this study we have developed a method for the direct determination of benzalkonium chloride (BAC) homologues and didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDMAC), generally used as biocides.
The chromatographic separation was performed using a Luna C18 column and gradient elution.
