A new hydrolysis method which only needs 7min--microwave hydrolysis used for the analysis of amino acids in egg by Pico-Tag high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is reported. The experimental results show that the satisfactory recovery could be obtained by use of 6mol/L HCL and 1% phenol as hydrolysing solution and a microwave oven with power of 300W. These conditions can also be used for the hydrolysis of other samples, such as rice, meat and so on. The average recovery of this method is 95% with a RSD of 2%. The accuracy is better than the conventional one (hydrolysis 24 at 110 degrees C) and Pico-Tag (hydrolysis 24h at 105 degrees C). Furthermore, the microwave hydrolysis decreases the loss of some unstable amino acids, e.g. Ser, Thr, Tyr, etc. In the process the method is convenient, rapid, accurate and reproducible.

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography: Types of Detectors

The role of the detectors in High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is to analyze the solutes as they exit from the chromatographic column. The detector recognizes the solute's property and generates corresponding electrical signals, which are converted into a readable graph of the detector's response versus elution time called a chromatogram at the computer. There are several types of HPLC detectors, each with its own advantages and limitations, depending on the analyte properties and...
Ion-Exchange Chromatography01:09

Ion-Exchange Chromatography

Ion-exchange chromatography, or IEC, is a technique for separating ions based on their affinity for the stationary phase. The stationary phase is a cross-linked polymer resin with covalently attached ionic functional groups. The functional groups can be either positively charged (cation exchangers) or negatively charged (anion exchangers). A cation exchanger consists of a polymeric anion and active cations, while an anion exchanger is a polymeric cation with active anions. The choice of...
