“…Finally, acetonitrile was chosen as the organic phase because it had strong elution ability and lower background noise. In addition, 0.1% formic acid was added to the aqueous phase to obtain the required baseline resolution and peak shape (Wu, Yan, Yao, Zhan, & Wang, 2014; Yang et al, 2019). The peak symmetry of ACQUITY UPLC HSS T 3 column was better than that of Syncronis C 18 column (100× 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm, Thermo Scientific).…”
