Applications:

Retention of Aminolevulinic Acid in Mixed-Mode System

April 27, 2005


Gamma-Aminolevulinic Acid is used in humans for the production of heme and in plants as a speed regulator for synthesis of chlorophyll. Using the Primesep 100 column in HPLC mixed-mode separation, the retention time of gamma-aminolevulinic acid can be adjusted by varying the concentration of acetonitrile (MeCN, ACN) in the mobile phase with an ammonium acetate buffer. UV detection at 270nm.

Application Column

Primesep 100

The Primesep family of mixed-mode columns offers a wide variety of stationary phases, boasting unprecedented selectivity in the separation of a broad array of chemical compounds across multiple applications. Corresponding Primesep guard columns, available with all stationary phases, do not require holders. SIELC provides a method development service available to all customers.
