Desmosine and isodesmosine are unique amino acids found in elastin, a protein in connective tissue such as elastic arteries, lungs, and skin.
Desmosine and isodesmosine can be used as specific biological markers for the degradation of mature cross-linked elastin.
Desmosine can be detected at 270nm using Primesep C mixed-mode reversed-phase cation-exchange column and a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile (ACN), and water with Ammonium acetate buffer.

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.

Primesep C
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. Inquire about our specially-tailored custom LC-phases for specific separations.
