Application Notes: LC

For this analysis, we developed a fast, robust, and efficient separation on a Kinetex 2.6µm Polar C18 phase. This is a highly robust, core-shell stationary phase capable of providing increased efficiency over fully porous products. The Kinetex Polar C18 functionality provides unique polar selectivity that was critical in effectively retaining and separating these phenolic antioxidants.

For this application study, the alkaloid compound berberine was selected to help demonstrate the Kinetex PS C18 HPLC/UHPLC column’s unique multi-modal selectivity and improved chromatographic performance when applied to the analysis of polar basic compounds.

The advantage of UV spectroscopy as an analytical method to detect protein aggregation is that it is non-destructive and uses low sample volumes, minimal sample preparation requirement and easy sample analysis. A quick QC method to indicate the presence of aggregation uses an Agilent Cary 60 UV-Vis spectrophotometer to identify aggregation of mAb solutions resulting from different stress conditions.
