Abstract
PTH-amino acids can be analyzed within a short time at a high sensitivity by chromatographically separating said PTH-amino acids with the use of a packing wherein the hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance on the stationary phase surface can be changed by an external signal while fixing the mobile phase to an aqueous system.
Claims7
A method for separating PTH-amino acids comprising the steps of:
- contacting a mobile phase comprising said PTH-amino acids with a packing, and adjusting the temperature of said stationary packing if necessary to influence the hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance on the stationary packing surface by a temperature change with the mobile phase being fixed to an aqueous system which involves water alone or aqueous solution containing inorganic salts but free from organic solvent, to thereby chromatographically separate said PTH-amino acids.
A method for separating PTH-amino acids characterized by comprising retaining said PTH-amino acids by a stationary phase comprising a chromatographic packing chemically modified with a polyalkylacrylamide having terminal amino, carboxyl, hydroxyl groups or a copolymer of the same;
- and allowing the PTH-amino acids to pass through a single mobile phase while changing the hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance on the stationary phase surface by the temperature gradient method wherein the external temperature is changed stepwise to thereby separate the PTH amino acids.
