· HPLC Method for Analysis of Acetylcholine , Choline on Obelisc R Column by SIELC Technologies
Acetylcholine and choline are related compounds that play distinct roles in the body, particularly in the nervous system.
In summary, choline is a nutrient that the body uses to synthesize acetylcholine, among other important molecules. Acetylcholine, on the other hand, is a neurotransmitter responsible for transmitting signals in the nervous system. While choline is obtained from the diet or supplements, acetylcholine is a key mediator of nerve and muscle function in the body.
Acetylcholine and Choline can be retained, separated and analyzed using an Obelisc R mixed-mode stationary phase column. The analysis employs an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water, acetonitrile (MeCN), and ammonium acetate as a buffer. Detection is achieved using ELSD
