HPLC Method for Analysis of Caffeine and Other Xanthines on Amaze HD Column
Application description

Cytosine is one of four basic compounds that play an important role in building DNA and RNA molecules. Cytidine consist of cytosine and ribose molecules. Cytosine and cytidine molecules are polar weak basis. They have an ability to form hydrogen bonds. Order of elution and selectivity of separation can be changed by changing mobile phase composition. Method is compatible with most common HPLC detection techniques: MS, RI, UV, ELSD, CAD, etc.

Conditions of Experiment
Column: Amaze HD
Separation Modes: HILIC
Column Dimenstions: 3.2 x 50 mm
Mobile Phase: MeCN/MeOH (95/5) with 0.1% HCOOH with 0.01%AmFm
Detection: UV 275 nm
Sample: 0.3 mg/ml
Injection: 1 uL
Flow rate: 1.0 mL/min

Class of compounds: Stimulant, Xanthine
Nature of compounds: Hydrophilic, Neutral, Polar
Compounds: Caffeine, 3-Methylxanthine, 1-Methylxanthine, Xanthine
Selectivity Difference for Polar Compounds in Reversed-Phase and Mixed-Mode Separation on Coresep 100 HPLC Column
Application description

Core-shell mixed-mode columns offer unique selectivity which comes from the presence of two mechanisms - reversed-phase and ion-exchange. The alternative selectivity of mixed-mode columns can be used when order of elution or resolution between compounds needs improvement. Even for neutral compounds a different selectivity can be obtained. A method for common components of headache medications (acetaminophen, caffeine, and benzoate) was developed on our Coresep 100 column. Efficiency and peak shape are comparable to leading brand core-shell reversed-phase columns.
