· High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of trans-Zeatin
trans-Zeatin is a cytokinin derived from adenine with two forms, cis- and trans-isomer. It has the chemical formula C 10 H 13 N 5 O . It promotes callus initiation and fruit set, delays yellowing for vegetables, and causes auxiliary stems to grow. You can find detailed UV spectra of trans-Zeatin and information about its various lambda maxima by visiting the following link.
trans-Zeatin can be retained and analyzed using the Primesep 100 stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile (MeCN) with sulfuric acid as a buffer. Detection is performed using UV.
