Derivatization of Carbonyl Compounds for GC-MS Analysis
Scientists from various institutions in Taiwan collaborated on research to develop a derivatization method for preparing carbonyl compounds for analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
Scientists from various institutions in Taiwan collaborated on research to develop a derivatization method for preparing carbonyl compounds for analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The compounds - glyoxal, methylglyoxal, and 3-deoxyglucosone - are associated with the formation of compounds causing uremic toxicity. The goal of the research was to help understand the effects of these compounds in diabetes-related complications. The two-step derivatization of plasma samples from diabetic and healthy individuals enabled simultaneous GC-MS analysis of the carbonyl compounds.
RAFA 2024 Highlights: Contemporary Food Contamination Analysis Using Chromatography
November 18th 2024A series of lectures focusing on emerging analytical techniques used to analyse food contamination took place on Wednesday 6 November 2024 at RAFA 2024 in Prague, Czech Republic. The session included new approaches for analysing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), polychlorinated alkanes (PCAS), Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons (MOH), and short- and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs and MCCPs).
