Application Notes

Galactose Standard by Reversed Phase HPLC/ELSD

Galactose was separated by reversed phase HPLC/ELSD.

Galactose, Alltech Application Note 0043E, May 10, 2000.

Galactose was separated isocratically in around 10 minutes by reversed phase HPLC on an Alltech 700 CH Carbohydrate, 300 x 6.5mm column (Part No. 70057) using water and detected by evaporative light scattering using an Alltech 500 ELSD (Evaporative Light Scattering Detector). A linear response was found with a detection limit of 10µg/mL.

In ELSD, the mobile phase is first evaporated. Solid particles remaining from the sample are then carried in the form of a mist into a cell where they are detected by a laser.
