The preliminary research work carried to find out the concentration of Gentamicin in the raw material. Two different techniques used in this study for the quantification of Gentamicin. They are microbiological assay method and reversed phase HPLC. The concentration of Gentamicin was quantified even at very lower concentration by microbiological assay method and it is sensitive. The test organis...

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are linear polysaccharides that are found in the extracellular matrix and biological fluids of animals where they interact with hundreds of proteins and perform a variety of critical roles. There are five classes of animal GAGs: heparan sulfate (HS), chondroitin sulfate (CS), dermatan sulfate (DS), keratan sulfate (KS), and hyaluronan (HA). Many biological functions ca...

Augmentin is a new antibacterial formulation comprised of amoxicillin and the beta-lactamase inhibitor clavulanic acid. In the present paper, the use of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to provide a rapid assay of the components of Augmentin in body fluids is described. Clavulanic acid was assayed by reacting the sample with imidazole, which readily produces a derivative absorbing ...

BACKGROUND The concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] in serum has been designated the functional indicator of vitamin D (VitD) nutritional status. Unfortunately, variability among 25(OH)D assays limits clinician ability to monitor VitD status, supplementation, and toxicity. METHODS We developed an HPLC method that selectively measures 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 [25(OH)D2] and D3 [25(OH)D3]...

HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) values measured by precipitation (sodium phosphotungstate-MgCl2) and direct methods were compared with those obtained by HPLC with a new column (TSKgel Lipopropak) and an eluent (TSKeluent LP-1). The HDL-C values determined by the precipitation method were significantly (P <0.001) lower than those by the HPLC method, whereas the HDL-C values by the direct method were sli...

The potency of influenza vaccine is determined based on its hemagglutinin (HA) content. In general, single radial immunodiffusion (SRID) assay has been utilized as the standard method to measure HA content. However, preparation of reagents for SRID such as antigen and antibody takes approximately 2~3 months, which causes delays in the development of influenza vaccine. Therefore, quantification ...

Abstract Background Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c; glycosylated hemoglobin) is used for diagnosis and monitoring of patients with diabetes. In the clinical laboratory both immunoassays high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) based tests are available such measurement. We use Premier Hb9210 analyzer (HPLC method; Trinity Biotech, Jamestown, NY) measuring HBA1c in whole blood. As our transitioning ...
