Membrane-Assisted Cleanup of Biological Extracts
Researchers from the UFZ-Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (Leipzig, Germany) used an accelerated membrane-assisted cleanup technique for the analysis of organic compounds in lipid-rich biological samples.
Researchers from the UFZ-Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (Leipzig, Germany) used an accelerated membrane-assisted cleanup technique for the analysis of organic compounds in lipid-rich biological samples. A Dionex (Sunnyvale, California) ASE device was used to automate the technique. Semipermeable low-density polyethylene membranes enabled recoveries greater than 70% for the organic compounds from the lipid-rich matrix. The technique provided a higher matrix removal capacity than gel permeation chromatography.
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).
