HPLC Method for Analysis of Mixture of Tryptophan and its Catabolites on Primesep 100 Column by SIELC Technologies

Tryptophan and its catabolites participate in several biological pathways, having roles in protein synthesis, serving as precursors to bioactive molecules, and influencing several physiological processes. Here’s an overview considering a mixture of tryptophan and its catabolites:

.

Tryptophan and its Catabolites can be retained, separated and analyzed on a Primesep 100 mixed-mode stationary phase column using an gradient analytical method with a simple mobile phase of water, Acetonitrile (MeCN), and a sulfuric acid as a buffer. This analysis method can be detected using UV at 220 nm.

Method Parameters

Mobile PhaseGradient MeCN 5-50% in 10 min, with 2 min hold afterwards
BufferGradient H2SO4from 0.1-0.2% in 10 min, with 2 min hold afterwards
Flow Rate1.0 ml/min
DetectionUV 220 nm
Class of CompoundsEssential Amino AcidTryptophan and its Catabolites
Analyzing CompoundsTryptophan,Picolinic Acid,Kynurenine,3-Hydroxykynurenine,3-Hydroxyanthranilic acid
