How ru? while devloping the lcms method
chosing the mobile phase is first then you can go to the column.

Cause normally all the compounds will elute in C 18 Column especially pharmaceutical products.

Depending on the hydrophobicity, ionizability (basic, acidic...) etc of your compound(s) you first choose the column that will tentatively retain/separate your compound(s) and then a MS compatible mobile phase (volatile additives, if salts are added (always volatile) it would be better to use them at less than 20 mM) that will provide the retention/separation you desire.
