Examples of using this product（for reference only）

UPLC

Chromatography was carried out with a Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography. Samples were measured by a C18 carotenoid column (100 mm × 2.1 i.d., 1.7 μm). The eluent was methyl tertiary butyl ether and methanol (V/V = 30:70) with the type of isocratic elution. And each eluent contained 0.01% BHT and 0.05% TEA (triethylamine) as modifiers in order to prevent the degradation of carotenoids on the column. The following rate was 0.5 mL/min, column temperature was 25 ℃, and the injection volume was 5 μL, analyzing with UV at 445 nm.

HPLC

HPLC analysis of chlorophyll and carotenoids were carried out using an Agilent 1260 instrument with a VWD detector . Samples (10 μL) were separated at 30℃ on a C18 column (150 mm × 3.9 mm i.d.; 4 μm particle size) using isopropanol and 80% acetonitrile–water at a flow rate of 0.5ml/min.

HPLC

The specific elution included phase A: acetonitrile: methanol = 3:1 (containing 0.01% butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT)); phase B: 100% methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE) (containing 0.01% BHT). The elution conditions were as follows: 0 min: A-B (95: 5); 0–10 min: A-B (95: 5); 10–19 min: A-B (86: 14); 19–29 min: A-B (75: 25); 29–54 min: A-B (50:50); 54–66 min: A-B (26:74); and 67 min: A-B (95:5). The mobile phase flow rate was 1 mL/min, and the detection wavelength was 450 nm; the column temperature was 35 ℃.

HPLC

HPLC analysis of carotenoids was carried out using an equipped with a variable wavelength detector (VWD). Samples (10 μL) were separated at 30℃ on a C18 column (150 × 3.9 mm id; 3 μm particle size) using isopropanol and 80% acetonitrile-water at a flow rate of 0.5 mL min?1 ; the absorbance was measured at 448 and 428 nm.
