Application Notes
The enantiomers of the amino acid cysteine were separated by reversed phase HPLC using a Chirobiotic Tag column and detected by UV at 230nm.
Cysteine, Astec Application Report 5010
Cysteine, CAS No. 52-90-4, an amino acid was separated into its two respective enantiomers by isocratic elution in around 10 minutes by reversed phase HPLC on an Astec Chirobiotic Tag column (250 x 4.6mm, Part No. 14024) using methanol, water (60:40). The enantiomers were detected by UV at 230nm.
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.
