Description

· Separation type: Liquid Chromatography Mixed-mode SIELC Technologies · HPLC Method for Analysis of Testosterone on Primesep B Column

Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone, though it is also present in smaller amounts in females. It plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissues such as the testes and prostate, as well as promoting secondary sexual characteristics like increased muscle and bone mass, and the growth of body hair. In addition to its role in reproduction and physical development, testosterone is also important for general health and well-being.

Testosterone can be retained, separated and analyzed using a Primesep B mixed-mode stationary phase column. The analysis employs an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase comprising water, acetonitrile (MeCN), and ammonium formate as a buffer. This method allows for detection using UV 270 nm.
