Lysine is an essential amino acid typically found in meat, and also cereal grains. It can be manufactured on a large scale by fermenting glucose, one of the most abundant sugars in the world. These two biological compounds can be retained, separated, and analyzed on a normal-phase Primesep S column with a simple isocratic mobile phase consisting of Acetonitrile (MeCN), water (H2O), and Sulfuric acid (H2SO4). This analysis method can be detected via Refraction Index (RI) Detection.
