Separation type: Liquid Chromatography HILIC
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Piracetam
Piracetam, part of the racetam family of drugs, has been marketed as a treatment for myoclonus and as a way to enhance cognition, although neither claim is approved by the FDA.
This racetam can be detected in the low UV regime. Using a SHARC 1 hydrogen-bonding column and a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile (MeCN) and water without a buffer, Piracetam can be retained, measured, and analyzed. This method can be UV detected at 200 nm with very high resolution

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.
