When analyses of mixtures of small molecules are carried out at mobile phase velocities close to (for isocratic runs) or somewhat above (for gradient runs) the optimum velocity, the eddy diffusion term contributes to at least 75% of the band broadening. Future improvements in column performance may come only from a reduction of the eddy diffusion term. The classical models of axial dispersion o...

We describe an HPLC method for quantifying creatinine, separating the analyte from other compounds in serum and urine by cation-exchange chromatography and measuring its absorbance at 234 nm. The precision of the method (CV) varied from 2.9% (mean creatinine concentration, 31 mumol/L) to 1.7% (361 mumol/L) within a series of assays and from 3.9% (34 mumol/L) to 2.4% (391 mumol/L) between series...

A three-dimensional high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method is described for the determination of cyclosporine A in human skin. The method allows to determine at least 3 ng cyclosporine A in 10 mg skin (total sample amount needed) and is suitable for cyclosporine A level monitoring in the skin of psoriatic patients.

A chemometric tool based on the Function of Mutual Information (FUMI) theory can provide a relative standard deviation (RSD) without repetitive measurements in high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD). Two parameters: precision (= information content) phi and efficiency (= information content/time) theta, which were calculated from predicted RSD based on ...

High-performance liquid chromatography is a technic that has recently been applied to the diagnosis of hemoglobinopathies and thalassemias. Its advantages over other methods include increased sensitivity, resolution and simplicity, as well as speed. In this report, the authors present an HPLC procedure that uses a weak cation exchange column and a gradient elution system for the diagnosis of he...

conclusions this method could be feasibly used for purification of large quantities of allicin from garlic extract. results semi-preparative hplc yielded a distinct peak with a retention time of 12.28 minutes. the purity (≥ 95%) and biological activity (p > 0.05) of purified allicin were comparable to the standard allicin. purified allicin produced same peak areas compared to the standard allic...
