High-performance liquid chromatography of coproporphyrin isomers.

PMCID: PMC1154125  PMID: 6847635

Abstract

A reversed-phase system is described for the simultaneous isocratic separation of coproporphyrin I, II, III and IV isomers. The retention behaviour of coproporphyrin I and III is studied in detail. The method is suitable for both analytical and semi-preparative separation.
