| Analysis Note | HILIC separation is an alternative that permits sensitive MS detection and without the use of ion-pair reagents. Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids. They comprise a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and a phosphate group making them highly polar and ionic. This causes a challenge for typical reversed phase chromatography (RPC). These charged polar analytes are poorly retained by RPC, and thus typically chromatographed by either ion-exchange chromatography or RPC in conjunction with an ion-pairing reagent. Nucleotide analysis using ion-pair reagents or high concentration of phosphate buffers cause high background and ion source pollution for MS detection and is undesirable compared to HILIC. |
