Title: New technique for increasing retention of arginine on an anion-exchange column. Author: Jandik P, Cheng J, Jensen D, Manz S, Avdalovic N. Journal: Anal Biochem; 2000 Dec 01; 287(1):38-44. PubMed ID: 11078581. Abstract: A method is described for enhancing retention of arginine on a pellicular anion-exchange column. Arginine exhibits adjustable increases of retention time that are dependent on the acidity of standard or sample matrix. This effect is based on interactions of the protonated form of arginine with the residual cation-exchange groups on the core beads of pellicular particles. The relative magnitude of retention time shift of arginine is evaluated for identical concentrations of hydrochloric, sulfuric, and perchloric acids. Although the direct addition of acid is very effective in influencing the retention of arginine, it affects peak shapes and retention of other peaks in the chromatographic separation. The new technique-acid coinjection-achieves a similar retention enhancement for arginine with only a minimal effect on the rest of the separation. Detection limits, reproducibility results, and calibration data are presented for the chromatography of amino acids with acid coinjection. Improved resolution of arginine is demonstrated with chromatograms of soybean hydrolysate and cell culture samples.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
