Separation type: Liquid Chromatography Mixed-mode
Carnosine is a dipeptide molecule synthesized from beta-alanine and histidine. It is a naturally occurring pH buffer with antioxidant properties found in muscles. This dipeptide can be retained and analyzed on a mixed-mode Primesep 100 column with a mobile phase consisting of water, Acetonitrile (MeCN), and Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). This analytical method can be UV detected at 215 nm with high resolution and peak symmetry.
