CHIRALPAK ZWIX - Immobilized Zwitterionic CSPs from Chiral Technologies, Inc.

Description

Separation of Chiral Amino Acids Using ZWIX... NO DERIVATIZATION


Amino acids are extremely important chemical species in life science. They are predominantly chiral, containing a stereogenic carbon, to which the amino group is attached. The enantiomeric form of many amino acids can play very different roles in biological and pharmacological functions. The analysis of the composition and enantiomeric purity of amino acids by chromatography, without derivatization, is of great importance in a large number of applications, including proteomics, API manufacturing, and the food industry.

CHIRALPAK ZWIX(+) and CHIRALPAK ZWIX(-) are zwitterionic chiral stationary phases (CSPs) recently developed mainly for chiral separations of free amino acids.

Features

  • Separation of underivatized amino acids
  • Reversal of enantiomer elution order
