HPLC Determination of Coenzyme Q10 and Ubiquinol on Primesep D Column
February 11, 2020
HPLC Method for Coenzyme q10, Ubiquinol on Primesep D by SIELC Technologies
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Coenzyme q10, Ubiquinol.
Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone, is an enzyme found in animals and is used as a dietary supplement with the chemical formula C59H90O4. It acts as a redox carrier, which means that it transfers electrons in the mitochondria. The production of ubiquinone depletes with age. Ubiquinol is a reduced form of coenzyme Q10.
The two compounds are similar in structure and can be difficult to separate in reverse-phase HPLC. Using mixed-mode Primesep D column and the mobile phase with acetonitrile (ACN) and water, without the need for buffer, CoQ10 and ubiquinol can be isocratically separated and UV detected at 275nm.
