Separation of Norepinephrine and Epinephrine

Purpose

This article outlines the types of columns to use for detecting and separating norepinephrine and epinephrine, depending on your specific application.

Solution

The EICOMPAK CAX with the current separation conditions does not allow the complete separation of NE and epinephrine. The difference in their retention time is only half a minute. Epinephrine levels in the brain are minimal and usually are below the sensitivity level. If detection of epinephrine levels is required, use EICOMPAK CA-5ODS.
