I realize that this is the lazy approach, but does anyone have a good HPLC method for ferrous fumarate? The USP titration is not sensitive enough for our needs.

Thanks in advance for your help

In solution, ionic compounds dissociate, so Fe(II) and fumaric acid (fumarate) can be determined individually. If you have an excess of one, then determine the other. The catch with chromatography is always "in the presence of what?"
