· HPLC Method for Analysis of Choline on Obelisc R Column by SIELC Technologies

Choline is an essential nutrient with the chemical formula C 5 H 14 NO . It plays a crucial role in various physiological processes in the body. It is often grouped with B-vitamins, but it is not officially recognized as a vitamin. Choline serves several important functions, including:

Choline is found in a variety of foods including but not limited to eggs, meat, poultry, and fish, dairy products, nuts and seeds, certain vegetables, such as broccoli and Brussels sprouts

Choline can be retained 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
