When ion-pairing reagent, a type of reagent used in laboratories, is added to the mobile phase of reverse-phase chromatography, it can improve ion sample retention. Ion-pairing reagents can increase the capacity of the hydrophobic bonded phase's surface to exchange ions and better manage the retention of acidic or alkaline samples under moderate pH settings.

Ion-pairing reagents absorb on the column bed through the hydrophobic component of the reagent (Heptane group, dodecyl group, etc.) to interact with the stationary phase of the column, which allows the stationary phase to have ion-exchange capacity, thereby enhancing the retention of analytes with opposite charge.
