View on hplc.cloud

Allantoin is a 5-ureidohydantoin or glyoxyldiureide with the chemical formula C4H6N4O3 and is found in plants like chamomile, wheat sprouts, tobacco seed, sugar beet and comfrey.  Allantoin can be retained using HPLC on SHARC 1 column, which uses hydrogen-bonding as a separation mechanism with isocratic method by using a mobile phase of acetonitrile (ACN) and methanol (MeOH).  Allantoin can be monitored by low UV (210 nm), ELSD, CAD  or LC/MS.

Application Column

SHARC 1

The SHARC™ family of innovative columns represents the first commercially available columns primarily utilizing separation based on hydrogen bonding. SHARC stands for Specific Hydrogen-bond Adsorption Resolution Column. Hydrogen bonding involves an interaction or attraction between a bound hydrogen atom and molecules containing electronegative atoms, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and fluorine.

HPLC Method for Analysis of Allantoine




Allantoine is found in plants such as wheat sprouts, chamomile, sugar beet, and comfrey. It is used as a moisturizer, which is, as the name suggest, used to moisturize the skin and to treat or prevent skin irritations and dry skin. Primesep 100, a reverse-phase column, contains embedded acidic ionizable groups and can retain Allantoine. The method is LC/MS and UV compatible and can be used as a general approach for analyzing similar compounds.

Application Column

Primesep 100

The Primesep family of mixed-mode columns offers a wide variety of stationary phases, boasting unprecedented selectivity in the separation of a broad array of chemical compounds across multiple applications. Corresponding Primesep guard columns, available with all stationary phases, do not require holders. SIELC provides a method development service available to all customers.
