In this study, a high-performance liquid chromatographic method (HPLC) and UV spectrophotometric method were developed, validated and applied for the determination of theophylline in biological fluids. Liquid- liquid extraction is performed for isolation of the drug and elimination of plasma and saliva interferences. Urine samples were applied without any extraction. The chromatographic separat...

Comparative analysis of antioxidant capacity was performed using FRAP and DPPH methods on extracts containing carotenoids acquired from fruits of Sea buckthorn. The examination included nine varieties of Sea buckthorn growing in the comparative cultivation. Conducted analysis allowed to compare the antioxidant capacity with carotenoids content measured with spectrophotometric and HPLC methods. ...

AIMS To compare high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with conventional methods for the estimation of blood haemoglobin A2 (HbA2) and haemoglobin F (HbF) concentrations in routine thalassemia screening. METHODS An HPLC system (the VARIANT Hemoglobin Testing System) was tested for precision and reproducibility in the measurement of HbA2 and HbF, and reference ranges were obtained for a...

Two novel analytical methodologies using capillary electrophoresis (CE) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were developed and compared for the determination of benzyldimethyldodecylammonium bromide (BAB) in commercial compound chemical disinfectants. The LC analysis was performed with a Kromasil C18 (200 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 microm) column and a mobile phase of A:B = 80:20 (A: acetonit...

High-performance liquid chromatography has replaced several spectroscopic methods and gas in the quantitative qualitative analysis of medications pre-sale procedure testing done past ten years. This is as part marketing drugs their control. During early stages its application, high-performance (HPLC) was expected to be a that would supplement chromatography; nevertheless, today, HPLC almost ent...

An analytical method for the compositional and quantitative analysis of photoactive compounds (PACs) in positive photoresist (Posi PR) has been developed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Under optimum HPLC conditions, various types of PACs consisting of a mixture of isomers were satisfactorily separated with no interference. This method was applied to the quantitative analysis ...

The chemical constituents of Cimicifuga simplex and its related species were reexamined using HPLC and high resolution spectral analysis. From C. simplex, C. acerina and C. japonica, a new alkaloid, 59 new cycloartane triterpene glycosides and 11 new aromatic constituents were isolated with the previously reported compounds. The latter aromatic constituents were identified in HPLC analysis of t...

BACKGROUND Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) is continually gaining attention in the separation sciences as demand increases for higher throughput isolations and purifications. The higher flow rates associated with SFC provide a significant decrease in analysis time and increase in sample-throughput efficiency. Peptides are of particular interest for SFC due, in part, to the rather exten...

Traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) are usually complex mixtures and contain hundreds of chemically different constituents, which make the quality control (QC) of crude drugs and their medical preparations extremely difficult. In the past years, with the rapid development of modern instrumental analysis and computer-aided data processing techniques, great progress has been made in the research...

BACKGROUND Medicinal plants are rich source of traditional herbal medicine around the globe. Most of the plant's therapeutic properties are due to the presence of secondary bioactive compounds. METHODS The present study analyzed the High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) fractions of Puncia granatum (peel) extracts (aqueous, chloroform, ethanol and hexane) against multidrug resistant bact...
