Separation of quercetin from a Ginkgo Biloba mother tincture using the PrepChrom C-700
The aim of this application note was to isolate a flavonol, quercetin, from a Ginkgo Biloba mother tincture. The purification on the mother tincture was performed on a reversed phase flash column by the means of dry loading.
The target compound was identified by its characteristic UV-VIS spectra and the retention time determined by running a standard. Subsequently, the purification of the pre- purified fraction of the target compound was performed with a 10 µm reversed phase prep-HPLC column.
