Overcoming Common Challenges to Determine Residual Impurities Using IC in APIs with Limited Water
December 10th 2024Organic solvents are generally not compatible with ion chromatography (IC) systems. The approach presented here assists the use of organic solvents for sample preparation and provides a mechanism for the removal of the organic solvents from the chromatographic flow path.
The Benefits of DBS-GC–MS/MS in Barbiturate Detection
December 5th 2024Three analytical and two pre-treatment methods—gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS), gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS), and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) plus liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and dried blood spot (DBS) —were compared for the quantitation and characterization of barbiturates.
