Technical improvements have been applied to reduce the time required for the determination of calcidiol and calcitriol in serum or plasma. The modifications include the use of Sep-Pak C18 cartridges for the extraction of calciol metabolites from serum instead of a classical liquid/liquid extraction, a considerable shortening of the HPLC purification time compared with our previously described m...

Background and objectives: The importance of Cassia angustifulia is due to its laxative properties. A large number of sennosides have been reported in senna but sennoside A and B have been reported as the main causes of its properties. The present study includes the analysis of the effective ingredients of sennosides containing senna products in Iranian pharmaceutical ...

Nicotine and cotinine in hair are good biomarkers for assessing long-term exposure to smoking. However, analytical devices such as GC/MS are associated with high cost and are not widely used. HPLC/UV is used widely in laboratories, but is unsuitable for measurement of minor constituents, except when using the column-switching method. Thus, we aimed to establish a simple, inexpensive and sensiti...

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...

this paper describes two rapid, sensitive and specific methods for the determination of fulvestrant in pharmaceutical preparations by high performance liquid chromatography (hplc) and linear sweep voltammetry (lsv). hplc method was used to study the degradation behaviour. fulvestrant was subjected to degradation under the conditions of hydrolysis (acid and alkali), oxidation (30% h2o2). the lin...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Simple and reliable methods to estimate drugs in pharmaceutical products are needed. In most cases, antiretroviral drug estimations are performed using a HPLC method, requiring expensive equipment and trained technicians. A relatively simple and accurate method to estimate antiretroviral drugs in pharmaceutical preparations is by spectrophotometric method, which is cheap...

BACKGROUND The Afinion HbA1c (Axis-Shield) is a newer point-of-care device for measurement of hemoglobin A1c (A1C) using a boronate affinity method unlike the more commonly used DCA immunoassay method (Siemens Medical Solutions Diagnostics). The Afinion's accuracy and precision, when compared with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and DCA methods, have not been established in pediat...

The present study describes development and subsequent validation of high performance liquid chromatographic method (HPLC) in comparison with spectrophotometric methods (classic, first, second and third order derivative) for determination of pure cilazapril in substance and pharmaceutical preparation. The main aim of this study was to find the method suitable not only for determination of cilaz...

In this Application Note, a method was developed on sub-2 μm particle columns and transferred to a conventional HPLC method using Quality by Design (QbD) principles. A seamless method transfer between the different chromatography systems was achieved using the Agilent Intelligent System Emulation Technology (ISET). Initial method development work on the Agilent Infinity 1290 system included aut...
