Separation type: Liquid Chromatography Mixed-mode
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Dopamine and Serotonin
Dopamine is a key neurotransmitter and medical stimulant used to treat low blood pressure, low heart rate, and heart attacks. Serotonin is another key neurotransmitter that has pharmaceutical applications – namely as the key ingredient in antidepressant and anti-anxiety medications.These two neurotransmitters can be retained, separated, and analyzed on a Primesep 200 mixed-mode column using an isocratic analytical method with a simple mobile phase of water, Acetonitrile (MeCN), and an Ammonium Formate (AmFm) buffer. This analysis method can be UV detected at 280 nm with high resolution and peak symmetry.
