High-performance liquid chromatography HPLC , oligosaccharide separation

Aqueous and methanolic solutions of cyclodextrins have been employed as mobile phases in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and as stationary phases by bonding the cyclodextrin to silica packing by several workers (1-8). They have been shown to be especially suitable for separation of structural isomers, cis-trans geometric isomers, and enantiomers. Cyclodextrins (CD) are toroidal-shaped, cyclic, oligosaccharides made up of o-l,4 linked,...
