solid phase extraction (spe) cartridge embedded with octadecyl c18 chain bounded to silica particles were used for the isolation and trace enrichment of pesticides from water samples collected from cotton, rice growing and municipal areas. the eluents were analyzed with high performance liquid chromatography (hplc) using methanol (100%) as mobiles phase at different uv-visible wavelengths. ddt ...

BACKGROUND Size-exclusion HPLC has been used as an alternative to immunoassays for quantifying urinary albumin (microalbumin). Systematically higher values for the HPLC method have been proposed to result from nonimmunoreactive albumin. METHODS We evaluated separation of purified proteins and urinary components by size-exclusion HPLC using a Zorbax Bio Series GF-250 column eluted with phospha...

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...

the aim of the study was to evaluate changes of sorbitol, glucose, fructose, sucrose, and total sugars of plum fruits in different years under different climatic conditions i.e. air temperature and precipitation. the cultivars investigated in the research were: topstar, toptaste, jojo, haganta, tophit, and top 2000. the fruits were harvested at optimal stage of maturity in the experimental orch...
