“…Excellent resolution can be achieved because the ionic nature of the phosphate esters facilitates strong interactions with cationic ion-pair reagents at the appropriate pH (Brown, Robb, & Gelhart, 2002;Werner, 1993). Thus, IP-RPC has been employed to determine the nucleotide content in various mammalian milks and dairy products (Ferreira, Mendes, Gomes, Faria, & Ferreira, 2001;Mateo, Peters, & Stein, 2004;Oliveira, Ferreira, Mendes, & Ferreira, 1999;Perrin, Meyer, Mujahid, & Blake, 2001;Sugawara, Sato, Nakano, Idota, & Nakajima, 1995), in food ingredients (Fish, 1991) and in blood (Cichna et al, 2003).…”
