High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of 6-Aminocaproic acid
6-Aminocaproic acid (6ACA) is a synthetic amino acid that is primarily used as a medication.
6-Aminocaproic acid can be retained, separated and analyzed using a Primesep A mixed-mode stationary phase column. The analysis employs an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase comprising water, acetonitrile (MeCN), and perchloric acid as a buffer. This method allows for detection using UV 200 nm.
