说明
分析说明
Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids. They comprise a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and a phosphate group making them highly polar and ionic. This causes a challenge for typical reversed phase chromatography (RPC). These charged polar analytes are poorly retained by RPC, and thus typically chromatographed by either ion-exchange chromatography or RPC in conjunction with an ion-pairing reagent. Nucleotide analysis using ion-pair reagents or high concentration of phosphate buffers cause high background and ion source pollution for MS detection. HILIC separation is an alternative that permits sensitive MS detection and without the use of ion-pair reagents.
