Biotin, Astec Application Report 240
Bitoin, CAS No. 58-85-5, a vitamin was separated into its two respective enantiomers by isocratic elution in around 10 minutes by reversed phase HPLC on an Astec Chirobiotic T column (250 x 4.6mm, Part No. 12024) using water, methanol (40:60), 0.1% sodium phosphate, pH 4.1. The enantiomers were detected by UV at 210nm.
In HPLC, ultraviolet (UV) detectors measure absorption of radiation from chromophores in eluted compounds over the range 190-400nm.
Astec (Advanced Separation Technologies) is a leader in the production and sale of chiral chromatography columns for LC and capillary GC.
