· Separation type: Liquid Chromatography Mixed-mode · High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Cysteine and Cystine
Cysteine is an amino acid that is an essential building block of a wide variety of proteins made and used throughout the entire body. Cystine is an oxidized dimer of cysteine that the body uses for redox reactions and as a linkage for proteins to keep their 3D structures. Cysteine and Cystine can be retained and analyzed on a mixed-mode Primesep 100 column with a mobile phase consisting of water, Acetonitrile (MeCN), and Sulfuric acid (H2SO4). This analytical method can be UV detected at 200 nm with high resolution and peak symmetry.
