HPLC Method for Lactulose on Primesep S2 by SIELC Technologies
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Lactulose
Lactulose is an synthetic disaccharide with the molecular formula C12H22O11.
Properties:
Appearance: Typically a white, odorless crystalline powder with a sweet taste.
Molecular weight: ~342.30 g/mol
Solubility: Soluble in water.
Uses: Used for treating constipation and hepatic encephalopathy (HE).
Lactulose can be retained and analyzed using the Primesep S2 stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water, acetonitrile (MeCN), and formic acid. Detection is performed using ELSD.
