Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

A high-performance liquid chromatograph capable of functioning in binary gradient mode and equipped with:

  1. 5.1.1.

    A spectrophotometric detector capable of measuring at wavelengths from 260 to 340 nm. It is however preferable to work with a multiple wavelength detector with a diode array or similar, in order to confirm the purity of the peaks.

  2. 5.1.2.

    A spectrofluorimetric detector — excitation wavelength: 354 nm, emission wavelength: 446 nm (for the trace determination of scopoletin; which is also detectable at 313 nm by spectrophotometry).

  3. 5.1.3.

    An injection device capable of introducing 10 or 20 μl (for example) of the test sample.

  4. 5.1.4.

    A high-performance liquid chromatography column, RP C18 type, 5 μm maximum particle size.
