Analytical methods published in the last 20 years for the extraction, chromatographic separation, and quantification of alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEO) and related compounds in environmental samples are reviewed. Examples of various isolation and preconcentration techniques for water, effluent, sediment and sludge are presented. This includes procedures from the classical liquid-liquid and Soxhl...

Chromatographic techniques have recently been introduced which provide new approaches to serum protein separation and characterization (1-4). Sober, Gutter, Wyckoff, and Peterson, using diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) cellulose, described the initial application of anion-exchange cellulose chromatography to the fractionation and identification of serum proteins (1, 2). Their study indicated the great ...

A computer modeling technique has been developed which allows for the prediction of chromatographic separation and stationary-phase selectivity. This technique enables development of application-specific gas chromatographic columns by allowing for the simultaneous optimization of physical dimensions, flow and temperature programs, and stationary-phase composition. Stationary-phase selectivity i...

Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) is a relatively new technique giving new possibilities in liquid chromatography, especially concerning decrease of time and solvent consumption. UPLC chromatographic system is designed in a special way to withstand high system back-pressures. The quality control analyses of various pharmaceutical formulations are transferred from HPLC to UPLC syste...

Modeling of thin-layer chromatographic separation of androstane isomers to find the optimum mobile phase is described in this paper. The isomers of androstane are present in a variety of samples, so achieving their optimum thin-layer chromatographic separation is very important. A mathematical model was developed and tested. The model takes into account the interaction between solvents and uses...

Micron-sized particles of cholesterol-imprinted polymers were synthesized by seeded suspension polymerization in a mixture of 2-propanol and water using polystyrene microbeads as the seeds. Methacrylic acid was employed as the functional monomer to form complexes with template (cholesterol), along with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the crosslinker. After removal of template molecules, the c...

The enantiomers separation of thirteen drugs collected in Ch.P2010 was performed on chiral stationary phase of cellulose ramification (chiralpak OD and chiralpak OJ) by high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) methods, which included ibuprofen (C1), ketoprofen (C2), nitrendipine (C3), nimodipine (C4), felodipine (C5), omeprazole (C6), praziquantel (C7), propranolol hydrochloride (C8), ate...

In high performance liquid chromatographic procedures hitherto described, SiO2, NH2 and RP columns have been used for the analysis of disaccharides produced by the digestion of glycosaminoglycans with the chondroitin sulphate lyases AC and ABC. The use of a potent anion exchanger offers the following advantages over these columns: superior separation characteristics for non-sulphated disacchari...

In order to investigate the gas separation ability of a column packed with nanozeolitic material, nano NaY zeolite was synthesized and granulated. These uniform granules packed in a chromatographic column were utilized for separation of Xe and Kr under various operating conditions. With regards to the response peaks obtained from trace injections of Xe and Kr into the column, the first and seco...

abstract        background and objective: measurement of amino acids is an important tool for metabolic studies and evaluation of patients’ clinical condition. the aim of this study was to analyze the plasma amino acids using reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography techniques (rp-hplc) with pre-column derivatization by o-phthalaldehyde (opa) in combination with 3- mercaptopropionic...
