Analytical Method
INSTRUMENT Silica gel G plate
MOBILE PHASE CHCl3: Methanol: Ammonia Solution = 40: 7: 1
DETECTION Ninhydrin Ninhydrin (DE) spray and heat at 105°C
INSTRUMENT Waters Isocratic LC pump 510, with an automatic sample injection system (Waters 717 plus Autosampler)
COLUMN Bondopak C18 reverse phase column
MOBILE PHASE Methanol: pH 3 water with 10% v/v o-phosphoric acid = 40: 60, v/v, 1.2 mL/min
DETECTION UV λ217 nm
INSTRUMENT Nicolet Nexus Model 870 FTIR equipped with a diffuse reflectance accessory (Nicolet model 0031-999)
COLUMN A: 100% aqueous buffer (2.5 mM NH4Ac, pH 7.4), B: 100% acetonitrile
MOBILE PHASE KBr FTIR grade = Wilmad
DETECTION Deuterated triglycine sulfate detector, all spectral measurements consisted of 128 coadded scans at 4 cm−1 resolution.
INSTRUMENT HP3D capillary electrophoresis system (Hewlett Packard, Wilmington, DE, USA)
COLUMN Separation: Unmodified fused silica capillaries (80.5 cm × 75 μm internal diameter, effective length 72.0 cm)
MOBILE PHASE The cartridge temperature was maintained at 25°C, and injections were performed by pressure (2.5 kPa, 5 s). Applied voltage: range 15-30 kV. At the beginning of each day, the capillary was conditioned with 0.03 mol/L H3PO4 (10 min), water (2 min), and run buffer (15 min). Between injections, the capillary was purged with 0.03 mol/L H3PO4 (1 min), water (1 min), and run buffer (2 min). The applied pressure for rinsing the capillary was 90 kPa.
DETECTION UV λ210 nm
INSTRUMENT Two LKB 2150 HPLC pumps (LKB Bromma, Sweden) controlled by Gradient Controller LKB LC 2152 and connected by Rheodyne high pressure gradient mixer (Rheodyne, Redwood, CA) and were equipped with a Rheodyne 7125 manual injector with a 10-μl sample loop.
COLUMN Nucleosil® C18 pre-packed HPLC column
MOBILE PHASE A: Mixture of acetonitrile and water (5: 95 v/v), pH 2.40±0.1 adjusted with o-phosphoric acid, B: Mixture of acetonitrile and water (40: 60 v/v), pH 2.40±0.1 adjusted with o-phosphoric acid, 0-5.1 min 2% B, 5.1-10 min 2-100% B, 10-15 min 100% B, 1.50 mL/min
DETECTION BC LC 1210 detector, 220 nm at start time, to 240 nm at 3.70 min and again to 220 nm at 10.70 min
