A single-laboratory validation study was conducted for an LC method using UV detection for the simultaneous determination of the active ingredients o-phenylphenol (OPP), p-tert-amylphenol (PTAP), and o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol (OBPCP) in disinfectant formulations. Samples were extracted, the extracts diluted with acidified methanol, and the active ingredients separated by LC with a gradient mobile phase and quantified by using UV detection at 285 nm. For each active ingredient, the RSD was < or = 3.7%, and the intermediate reproducibility was < or = 3.4%. The active ingredient content of the spiked samples analyzed in this study ranged from 0.075 to 10.1% for the individual phenol active ingredients. The average recovery ranges were 86.7-104.9, 82.8-115.6, and 91.6-114.7% for the active ingredients OPP, PTAP, and OBPCP, respectively, for the concentration range of 0.075-10.1%. This method, with a relatively short chromatographic run time (about 15 min), proved to be reliable and convenient for analyses of products or samples containing all or a combination of these phenol active ingredients.
