Editors’ Series: A Generic HPLC-UV Platform Method for Cleaning Verification
We describe the development and qualification of a simple, 10-min generic HPLC-UV gradient method for quantitative assays of cleaning verification solutions (0.2 – 10 mg/mL) and demonstrate approaches to increase sensitivity to low ng/mL levels by large-volume injections, sample concentrations, and the use of long-path UV flow cells. We report the attainment of similar method performance with a run time of 1.5 min using sub-2-μm or sub-3-μm core–shell columns on ultrahigh-pressure LC (UHPLC) systems. We provide rationales for parameter selections during the method development process to illustrate how the application of modern chromatographic principles can be used to quickly optimize method performance for intended use. This generic analytical methodology is readily adaptable to rinse or swabbing solutions and potentially for other applications such as in-process (IPC) control testing or rapid potency assays of many pharmaceuticals.

Analyzing Vitamin K1 Levels in Vegetables Eaten by Warfarin Patients Using HPLC UV–vis
April 9th 2025Research conducted by the Universitas Padjadjaran (Sumedang, Indonesia) focused on the measurement of vitamin K1 in various vegetables (specifically lettuce, cabbage, napa cabbage, and spinach) that were ingested by patients using warfarin. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) equipped with an ultraviolet detector set at 245 nm was used as the analytical technique.
Removing Double-Stranded RNA Impurities Using Chromatography
April 8th 2025Researchers from Agency for Science, Technology and Research in Singapore recently published a review article exploring how chromatography can be used to remove double-stranded RNA impurities during mRNA therapeutics production.
The Effect of Time and Tide On PFAS Concentrations in Estuaries
April 8th 2025Oliver Jones and Navneet Singh from RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia discuss a recent study they conducted to investigate the relationship between tidal cycles and PFAS concentrations in estuarine systems, and offer practical advice on the sample preparation and LC–MS/MS techniques they used to achieve the best results.
Assessing Safety of Medications During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding with LC–MS/MS
Published: April 8th 2025 | Updated: April 8th 2025Researchers conducted a study on medications used in psychiatry and neurology during the perinatal period, assessing how antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) affect placental functions, including transport mechanisms, nutrient transport, and trophoblast differentiation. Several quantitative methods, such as those for antianxiety and hypnotic drugs, were established to evaluate the safety of pharmacotherapy during breastfeeding using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS).
