  • Title: Preparation of samples for high-performance liquid chromatography of inositol phosphates.
    Author: Woodcock EA, Tanner JK.
    Journal: J Chromatogr; 1992 Oct 02; 581(1):134-8. PubMed ID: 1429996.
    Abstract:
    A simple method is described for the removal of extraneous material from tissue extracts prior to anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography of inositol phosphates. Samples are prepared by extraction with trichloroacetic acid or perchloric acid followed by removal of the excess acid. The extracts are then passed through small Dowex-50 cation-exchange columns and eluted with water. Dowex-50 pretreatment removes most of the ultraviolet absorbing material and cations from the samples but does not alter the content of inositol phosphates. This treatment results in improved reliability of chromatography, especially with respect to weakly retained molecules such as adenosine 5'-phosphate and the isomers of inositol monophosphate. In addition, sample pretreatment improves the useful lifetime of the analytical anion-exchange columns.
