Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry Characterization of Vegetable Oil–Derived Potent Antimicrobial Agents

Under a suitable thermal oxidation regime, vegetable oils yield a mixture of volatile and semivolatile organics that exhibit very high antimicrobial activities against a variety of microbial species. Volatile and semivolatile products were characterized with GC–MS using electron ionization and chemical ionization. The thermal oxidation of vegetable oils resulted in the formation of an array of short and medium-chain acids, aldehydes, and ketones that act synergistically to yield a potent antimicrobial disinfectant.

Advantages of Sequential or Bracketed Injection Methods to Improve the Chromatographic Analysis of Biotherapeutics

This article explores three case studies where autosampler injection programs help to (i) reduce the carry-over observed for large nucleic acids during anion-exchange chromatography (AEX), (ii) reduce peak distortion and breakthrough for monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) during hydrophilic-interaction chromatography (HILIC), and (iii) facilitate dissolution of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) so that a size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) method can be applied for ribonucleic acid (RNA) payload analysis.
