High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of 6-Benzylaminopurine .
6-Benzylaminopurine is a plant growth regulation compound with the molecular formula C12H11N5 . It’s presence in asparagus, for example, leads to deeper color, increased firmness, and a decrease in fibrous hardness. In general, it stimulates cell division and differentiation.
6-Benzylaminopurine can be retained and analyzed using the Newcrom B stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile (MeCN) with an ammonium formate[ buffer. Detection is performed using UV.
