Indirect detection in liquid chromatography is a method by which an analyte is quantitated by its effect on the composition of the eluent. A property of the eluent responds to the presence of the analyte and is used for quantitation. One such property which has not been used to advantage is radioactivity. If a mixture of nonradioactive anions is chromatographed, then the appearance of each ion from the column will be accompanied by a decrease in radioactivity. To illustrate the method, two systems of chloride ions were equilibrated with a potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) buffer doped with Na/sub 2/SO/sub 4/ (/sup 35/S). Injections of sodium chloride were made, and the chloride-containing fractions of the eluate were collected and analyzed off-line by a liquid scintillation counter. 4 references, 1 table.
