First, a study of the influence of temperature on the separation was performed. The results obtained for one of the tested standard mixtures containing m-aminophenol, 2,4-diaminophenoxyethanol, toluene-2,5-diamine sulfate, and resorcinol, for example, are shown in Figure 2a. It comes out that the two coeluted hair dye intermediates, 2,4-diaminophenoxyethanol and toluene-2,5-diamine sulfate, can be separated when the temperature is increasing (with an optimum at 60øC) and identified by means of the DAD when present at the same concentration in the mixture (peaks 5 and 6 in Figure
