HPLC Method for Dopamine, Serotonin on Primesep 200 by SIELC Technologies
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Dopamine, Serotonin.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter with the chemical formula C8H11NO2. It is released during pleasurable activities, reinforcing those behaviors, and motivating people to continue seeking them out. Dopamine influences the release of other hormones. A deficiency of it can influence movement and lead to conditions like Parkinson’s disease. You can find detailed UV spectra of Dopamine and information about its various lambda maxima by visiting the following link.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter derived from tryptophan with the chemical formula C₁₀H₁₂N₂O. Serotonin is a chemical messenger that is crucial for bodily functions. It helps regulate mood and reduce anxiety, digestion, blood clotting, and contributes to the sleep-wake cycle. Low serotonin levels are often associated with a variety of mental illnesses including but not limited to Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Depression, and Anxiety.
