Uracil, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine and Adenine are the nucleobases found in RNA and DNA. The nucleobases are difficult to separate on reverse-phase columns due to their polar, hydrophilic and ionic nature. Using the Newcrom AH mixed-mode column, the nucleobases can be easily separated isocratically using low organic mobile phase (5% acetonitrile) or pure water, if organic mobile phase is undesirable, with ammonium formate buffer, making the method both UV and Mass Spec compatible.

Application Column
Newcrom AH
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.
