Rosmarinic acid is a natural product widely spread over different plant families. Preparative reversed-phase chromatography was used for the mass-directed purification of rosmarinic acid from a lemon balm extract. The AZURA® Prep System together with the 4000 MiD mass spectrometer was showed to be well suited for this application.

This application note demonstrates the benefits of mass-directed purification of a plant extract. The specificity of the mass-sprectrometer allows for more confidence in peak purity and more exact fractionation than possible with other detection methods, saving time for after-run analysis and pooling of fractions.
