Application Notes: LC
Drug Screening from Whole Blood
April 7th 2016A suite of unknown drug compounds from whole blood are analyzed by LC–MS-MS, requiring the need for an effective yet nonspecific cleanup technique. The resulting method demonstrates a simple and fast sample preparation procedure that is suitable for screening many compounds.
UHPLC Glycosylation Analysis of Protein Therapeutics
March 22nd 2016Characterization of glycosylation is a major quality parameter in the production of biotherapeutics. This note demonstrates the benefits of using a new, small particle TSKgel Amide-80 HILIC column which improves peak capacity and sensitivity for UHPLC and LC-MS analysis of labelled glycans.
Summarization of Screening Hits on Chiral Columns
March 21st 2016In new drug development, the number of diverse chiral compounds is increasing and sensitive chiral methods are often needed quickly. Many new CSPs are available on the market making it challenging to select the most important ones for the initial screening stages and expedite method development. The focus of this study is to evaluate high selectivity CSPs and to suggest the best screening method with a limited number of high success rate chiral columns.
Method Transfer to Core-Shell Particles
February 19th 2016‘Old’ HPLC methods with long run times are being altered or surpassed by newer UHPLC or core-shell methods in order to save time and cost. In this application note we show how with the use of 3 simple equations transfer of older methods can be easily achieved onto newer core-shell particles. We show the example of a pharmaceutical drug and its impurities being reduced from a 30minute run time down to less than 10minutes. Using the calculations correctly means that no loss of resolution is seen even with the decrease in retention time.

Analysis of Unstable Compounds Using Online SFE-SFC
January 19th 2016Previously, SFE and SFC were offline operations for pretreatment or analysis, respectively, and treated as completely separate workflows. This note, however, presents a flow diagram showing the integration of SFE-SFC processes from pretreatment to data acquisition in a single workflow, as well as an analysis of reduced coenzyme Q10.
Improving Resolution and Sample Throughput For Protein Analysis Using TSKgel® UP-SW3000 Columns
January 19th 2016This note describes the use of TSKgel UP-SW3000, 2µm SEC columns for the analysis of proteins, with data demonstrating the operation of these columns using a simple and well established method for use in both HPLC and UHPLC systems. TSKgel UP-SW3000 columns have superior resolution for proteins and the shorter column dimension, 4.6 mm ID × 15 cm, allows runs to be completed 2 times faster than its longer column dimension counterpart without compromising resolution and reproducibility.
Gingerol purification with Centrifugal Partition Chromatography SCPC-250
January 17th 2016Centrifugal Partition Chromatography (CPC) also known as Counter Current Chromatography (CCC) is a preparative, pilot and industrial liquid purification technique that does not require traditional solid supports. CPC was used to purify few mg of gingerol from crude extract.
Phenolic Compounds in Barrel-Aged Alcoholic Beverages
January 11th 2016This Application Note describes UHPLC methods to simultaneously separate and identify seven tannin compounds as aging markers in barrel-aged alcoholic beverages. The proposed methodology was applied to four different matrixes: whisky, brandy, rum, and tequila, to demonstrate a correlation between aging time and total tannin concentration level.
UHPLC Method for DNPH-Derivatized Aldehydes
January 11th 2016This Application Note shows the transfer of a standard HPLC method to a UHPLC method for the analysis of 13 DNPH-derivatized aldehydes and ketones. By transferring the method from HPLC to UHPLC, the analysis time and solvent consumption was reduced by approximately 90 %.
