Sulcatone is a ketone used as a mosquito attractant. It is a volatile oil component found in
citrus. It can be retained on a Newcrom R1reverse-phase column with a mobile phase of acetonitrile (ACN) and water with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) buffer. The analytical method is MS-compatible and can also use UV detection at 200nm.

Application Column
Newcrom R1
The Newcrom columns are a family of reverse-phase-based columns. Newcrom A, AH, B, and BH are all mixed-mode columns with either positive or negative ion-pairing groups attached to either short (25 Å) or long (100 Å) ligand chains. Newcrom R1 is a special reverse-phase column with low silanol activity.
