YMC Carotenoid is a silica-based reversed-phase column chemically bonded with a triacontyl (C30) group, and is useful for separating geometric isomers of carotenoids. It is useful as a column with different separation selectivity when it is difficult to separate compounds other than carotenoids with C18 (ODS).
Application: For Carotene and Xanthophyll
- Resolves polar and nonpolar geometric carotenoid isomers
- Separates carotenoids in blood samples, food products, natural product extracts, and commercial preparations
- Operates with low aqueous or non aqueous mobile phases desirable in LC/MS and prep fraction recovery
