Choline and Acetylcholine / Taste Components / Liquid for Permanent Wave

Choline and Acetylcholine

Choline and acetylcholine are important components of living organism as autacoid. Choline and acetylcholine separated by RSpak DE-613 or DE-413 are converted to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by AFpak ACH-494, a column with choline oxidase and acetylcholine esterase immobilized. This hydrogen peroxide can be detected by an electrochemical detector (ECD). We recommend that DE-413 is used to reduce analytical time.

Taste Components

Asahipak GS-320 7E is a multimode column and capable of analyzing typical nucleic acids components for taste, i.e. IMP, GMP and AMP (nucleotide), and all of their metabolites with simple isocratic elution. The main characteristic of the column is that the nine components(IMP, GMP, AMP and their respective nucleotides, purine bases and pyrimidine bases) are completely separated for approximately 30 minutes and elute in order of nucleotides, nucleosides, purine bases and pyrimidine bases.
GS-320 7E is an old type of GS-320 HQ.

Decomposition of ATP is an important biochemical postmorten change in muscles of fish and shellfish. During this process, ATP, ADP, and AMP decompose quickly to form a build-up of inosine and hypoxanthine. As this corresponds well with a decline in freshness, the ratio of the quantity of inosine and hypoxanthine to the total quantity of ATP and related substances is called the K value and used as an index representing freshness of fish meat.

Liquid for Permanent Wave

RSpak NN-814 packed with polyhydroxymethacrylate gel is a column for reversed phase mode like RSpak DE-613. A small number of sulfo groups (counter ion H+) bonded to the packings, however, characterize NN-814. When a neutral or acidic eluent is used, acidic, neutral and basic substances in principle elute in this order. Taking this advantage, NN-814 enables complicated components such as permanent wave solution to be analyzed by simple isocratic elution with good reproducibility.
In NN-814, ion exclusion, ion exchange and reversed phase modes have effect on separation. Here, acidic substances such as TGA and DTGA elute first as they are affected mainly by the ion exclusion mode. In contrast, basic substances such as ammonia and monoethanolamine elute later as they are affected mainly by the ion exchange mode. Other components are affected mainly by the reversed phase mode.
