background: genes for human epidermal growth factor receptors b1 (erbb1) and b2 (erbb2) were amplified in breast and ovarian cancers. both of them were associated with aggressive disease and worse prognosis. the erbb1 or erbb2 status of a tumor may provide an indication of the response to erbb1 and erbb2 -targeted therapies. for accurate and rapid assessment of amplification of erbb1 and erbb2 ...

Crocins in commercial liquid saffron extracts (Saffr’activ®) were identified using high-performance chromatography (HPLC) with a diode array detector (DAD) and mass spectrometry (MS). The impact of storage on the qualities extract studied HPLC-DAD-MS by exposing trans-4-GG crocin to environmental factors. Light temperature induced degradation after only one week. Trans-4-GG was totally hydrolyz...

Chemometrics-assisted UV spectrophotometric and RP-HPLC methods are presented for the simultaneous determination of tolperisone hydrochloride (TOL) and diclofenac sodium (DIC) from their combined pharmaceutical dosage form. Chemometric methods are based on principal component regression and partial least-square regression models. Two sets of standard mixtures, calibration sets, and validation s...

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis and extrensively drug-resistant (XDR) M. tuberculosis are emerging public health threats whose threats are compounded by the fact that current techniques for testing the susceptibility of M. tuberculosis require several days to weeks to complete. We investigated the use of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-based quantitation of my...

This study presents an HPLC method for simultaneous analysis of astaxanthin and its carotenoid precursors from Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous. The HPLC method is accomplished by employing a C18 column and the mobile phase methanol/water/acetonitrile/ dichloromethane (70:4:13:13, v/v/v/v). Astaxanthin is quantified by detection at 480 nm. The carotenoid precursors are identified by LC-APCI-MS and...

We developed a method for the determination of erythrocyte pyrimidine 5'-nucleotidase (P5N) activity in human blood using a high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC). In this method, UMP (uridine 5'-monophosphate disodium salt) was used as a substrate and assay solutions were directly prepared from whole blood. Uridine formed by the enzyme reaction of P5N was determined spectrophotometricall...

The Agilent 1260 Infi nity Hybrid SFC/UHPLC System offers a fast, reliable, green, robust, and cost-effective solution by coupling the advantages of HPLC and the benefi ts of supercritical fl uid chromatography (SFC). This Application Note describes the conversion of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) normal-phase HPLC method for cholecalciferol assay to an SFC method using serially coupled c...

GC-FID and HPLC-DAD were developed for determination of menadione (MN) and menadione sodium bisulphite (MSB). By means of each method, quantitative analysis of MSB in commercial pharmaceutical was performed in both direct analysis of MSB and analysis of MN by converting MSB to MN with sodium carbonate. GC-FID method was carried out on the HP-5 capillary column using nitrogen gas. HPLC-DAD metho...
