“…A cation exchange column [ 28 ], reverse-phase column [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ], hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC)-mode column [ 33 , 34 ], and mix-mode column [ 35 ] are used for HPLC separation. In addition, ion-pair mobile phases are applied to detect amino acid impurities with a reverse-phase column [ 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ] or HILIC-mode column [ 40 ]. Most amino acids and impurities that lack a chromophore are detected by ultraviolet (UV) detection at a low wavelength near UV 210 nm [ 3 , 29 , 30 , 33 , 36 ] or charged aerosol detection (CAD) [ 29 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ].…”
