Separation of taurine and caffeine in commercial energy drinks with LC-MS

25 Mar 2022

In this application note, a method combining solid phase extraction with high performance liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry is described for the highly sensitive and accurate screening of caffeine and taurine in energy drinks. This method has been successfully applied to screening of caffeine and taurine in commercial Red Bull samples, and it is valuable to ensure the safety of food and beverages.

Cogent Diamond Hydride™ HPLC Columns

MicroSolv Technology Corp.

Cogent Diamond Hydride HPLC Columns are manufactured with TYPE-C™ silica (silica hydride) and a very small amount of carbon on the surface that adjusts the column hydrophobicity to an important level. This makes these columns have unique separation capabilities for scientists working in LCMS, metabolomics, bioanalytical, amino acids, organic acids, carbohydrates, and very polar small molecules.
