HPLC Separation of Uracil, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine, Adenine on Newcrom AH Column_1245

Uracil, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine and Adenine are the nucleobases found in RNA and DNA.  The nucleobases are difficult to separate on reverse-phase columns due to their polar, hydrophilic and ionic nature.  Using the Newcrom AH mixed-mode column, the nucleobases can be easily separated isocratically using low organic mobile phase (5% acetonitrile) or pure water, if organic mobile phase is undesirable, with ammonium formate buffer, making the method both UV and Mass Spec compatible.

Uracil and uridine are separated based on their polarity. The mechanism of retention is pure HILIC mode. Retention time is controlled by varying the amount of ACN. Buffer concentration and pH will affect ionization and polarity of the stationary phase, and thus indirectly affect retention of neutral compounds. Column is compatible with all general detection techniques.

HPLC Separation of 8 Generic Compounds on Primesep Columns

2011-03-27


Mixed-mode HPLC columns allow to analyze compounds with drastically different properties in one run. Acidic, basic, and neutral compounds can be separated in one run using either isocratic or gradient conditions. In this application, neutral hydrophilic (uracil, phenol and hydroquinone), neutral hydrophobic (toluene), hydrophilic acidic (benzoic acid), hydrophilic basic (lutidine) and hydrophobic basic (amitriptyline) are separated using gradient of ACN. Neutral compounds are retained by reversed-phase mechanism, hydrophilic acidic compound become more hydrophobic at lower pH and retain by reversed-phase mechanism too. Basic compounds are retained by cation exchange mechanism, and hydrophobic basic compounds are retained by reversed-phase and cation-exchange mechanisms. All compounds are resolved within 17 minutes on a short column. Method can be applied to various polar and hydrophobic compounds, which can be separated on one column and in one run. Mixed-mode columns can operate in single or combination of several modes: reversed-phase, ion-exchange, ion-exclusion and HILIC. This mixed-mode HPLC column can be used as a general column for separation of wide range of compounds.

HPLC Separation of Uridine and Uracil

2010-11-21


Uracil is a naturally occurring pyrimidine derivative. Uracil is used for drug delivery and as a pharmaceutical. Uridine is a product of uracil and sugar ribose. Uridine is one of components of ribonucleic acid. Uracil and uridine are slightly basic in nature. Both compounds are hydrophilic and uracil is very often is used as a void marker in reversed-phase chromatography. Uracil and uridine are separated based on their polar properties on a Primesep N HILIC column. Uracil and uridine are monitored by UV.

HILIC Retention of Uridine and Uracil on Sielc's HILIC Columns

2008-08-22

Uridine and uracil are separated on three HILIC columns from SIELC. Primesep N, Primesep S, and Obelisc N columns all have different polarity and different embedded acidic groups on the surface of silica gel: Primesep N is a normal-phase HPLC column with embedded acidic groups with a pKa of about 5. Primesep S is a normal-phase HPLC column with embedded acidic groups with a pKa of about 3. The Primesep S stationary phase retains basic compounds by cation-exchange at pH > 3.

In traditional HILIC mode, a charged or neutral polar analyte interacts with a water layer on the polar stationary phase surface. On Obelisc N the charges are greatly separated and independently accessible, resulting in different selectivity compared to traditional HILIC and silica columns. Mobile phase composition changes the conformation of the long hydrophilic chain. All three columns can be used to analyze uridine and uracil by HPLC with UV, LC/MS and ELSD detection.

HPLC Application for Separation of Nucleotide Bases

2007-12-06

Nucleotide bases are parts of DNA and RNA. Adenine and guanine are purine-bases; uracil, thymine and cytosine are pyrimidine-bases. In the view of chromatography these compounds are very polar and similar in properties. It is hard to obtain base line HPLC separation on traditional C18 as peaks of nucleotide bases co-elute even at low organic concentration. In this application nucleobases are well retained and separated on Primesep 200 mixed-mode column. Compounds are retained by weak reverse phase and weak ion-exchange mechanisms. This HPLC method can utilize UV, ELSD, and LC/MS detection.

Separation of Nucleic Bases

2003-09-24

Primesep 200 separates with baseline resolution nucleic bases (uracil, thymine, cytosine, guanine, and adenine) by a combination of cation exchange and reversed phase. Uracil typically does not retain on reversed-phase column and is often used as an unretained void volume marker for C18 and C8 columns. Primesep 200 has an embedded anionic functional group which helps retain polar compounds polar and ion-exchange mechanisms. Excellent peak shape results with a mass spec compatible mobile phase of water, acetonitrile (MeCN, ACN) and trifluoracetic acid (TFA) with UV detection at 270 nm.
