The separation properties of five nonapeptides on commercial reversed-phase materials have been investigated and the effects of pH, salt concentration and solvent composition have been studied. With appropriate variation of the pH and salt concentration in the mobile phase, it is possible to resolve all of the peptides investigated and their by-products. Mixtures of water and organic solvents (acetonitrile, dioxan, methanol and n-propanol) have been used. The choice of the organic solvent does not strongly influence the separation pattern. The simplicity, speed and quality of the separations and the favourable detection limits (ca. 30 ng) at 220 nm render this technique suitable to routine quantitative analysis. |
