This application note presents an alternative method using time-of-flight liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (TOF LC/MS) and hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) that enables accurate and repeatable analysis of diverse oligonucleotides without using ion-pairing reagents.

Earlier assessment of molecules provides valuable insights into the manufacturing developability of molecules, reducing the need for unnecessary experimentation. The Intabio ZT system has the potential to make in-depth characterization of biopharmaceutical product charge variants quicker and more efficient to meet demanding timelines during early-phase clinical development.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the EPA advised pregnant women and those who might become pregnant to avoid certain fish known to be high in mercury. This study will investigate trace element concentrations including heavy metal concentrations in different types of fish and fish oil supplements available from local markets in New Jersey.

In this podcast, we will look at different sources of potential heavy metal exposure and their concentrations in a variety of food products including fish, and beverages. In addition to the original research presented, we will compare other historical studies and public health findings to showcase the sources and concentrations of various heavy metals found in the food and water supply in order to build a more complete picture of heavy metal exposure through food and beverages.

This study examined the elemental composition of several types of chocolate products from chocolate liquor to milk and dark chocolate bars.

In this study, dried fruit samples (organic and regular raisins, sultanas and currants) and bread spreads (from different nuts and seeds; i.e. peanuts, almonds, sunflower etc.) were purchased from stores in the US, UK and Germany. Samples were digested using microwave digestion and tested by ICP-MS to determine heavy metal contamination and potential exposure.

Spices and hot sauces were purchased at dollar stores, farmer’s markets, chain stores, and online. Samples included ‘organic’ products. Cryogenic grinding and microwave digestion were employed in sample processing prior to ICP-MS analysis to determine the presence and level of heavy metal contamination and adulteration.

This new updated study revisits pet food brands first analyzed in 2009 and looks at new brands which that emerged after the 2007 pet food crisis and later enactment of FSMA to see if heavy metal contamination has significantly changed in the decade since the first study.

Professor Wan-Tang (Grace) Chen of the University of Massachusetts Lowell accepted our invite to participate in a virtual Q&A session. Dr. Chen directs the Plastics & Environment Research Laboratory at the university and was gracious enough to share what her team is working on, and how they’re leveraging the Pyrolysis-GC/MS technique in novel microplastics research.

This application note demonstrates the applicability of the Biozen dSEC-2 column in understanding the biophysical integrity monoclonal antibodies and related proteins. The hydrophilic nature of the Biozen dSEC-2 stationary phase shows favorable aggregate profiles for forced degradation work under high salt conditions which is a known challenge when working with more hydrophobic hybrid particles for these studies.

Size exclusion chromatography, or SEC, is a technique for separating proteins and other complex biomolecules in their native forms by size using aqueous eluents. For molecules of specific molecular weight, SEC can use used to detect and quantitate aggregates, fragments, monomers and dimer. This guide provides a comprehensive application overview for Biozen dSEC-2 Size Exclusion Columns.

An understanding of analyte hydrodynamic radius (Rh), as well as size exclusion column pore size and distribution, are all critical in the understanding of how an analyte will behave by SEC. In this white paper, we will explore several protein standards with known hydrodynamic radii, and how this can be used to determine ideal size exclusion conditions for optimal method performance.
