Ionic and amphoteric surfactants were separated on reversed-phase columns. Ultraviolet photometry and differential refractometry were employed so that ion pairing and nonpairing compounds could be distinguished. Analysis of ionic surfactants as ultraviolet (UV) absorbing ion pairs improved detection limits 100 fold compared to detection by differential refractometer (RI).
