Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a powerful tool to quantify the environmental burdens of different analytical techniques. This work assesses impacts associated with use simple electrochemical carbon paper sensor (CPS) for ketoprofen detection in fish by LCA comparison traditional liquid high-performance chromatography (HPLC) fluorescent detection. The results indicate significant advantages CPS ...

Quantification of substances such as drug impurities or library compounds when pure standards are unavailable is difficult yet often necessary. This is often accomplished by HPLC based on relative response using low wavelength UV detection. The dependence of response on the optical properties of each component can lead to large errors in estimated quantity. Charged aerosol detection is a mass s...

A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method with UV and DAD detection for the quantitative determination of linezolid in human serum was developed in present work. Chromatography was carried out by reversed-phase technique on a RP-18 column with a mobile phase composed of 50 mM phosphate buffer and acetonitrile (76 : 26, v/v), adjusted to pH 3.5 with orthophosphoric acid. Serum samp...

We describe a "high-performance" liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for accurately determining creatinine in serum. After prechromatographic precipitation of protein, we performed isocratic ion-exchange chromatography with ultraviolet detection (234 nm). Analytical results showed linearity up to 1770 mumol/L, a detection limit of 22 mumol/L, an average analytical recovery of 101%, and a CV ra...

Traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) are usually complex mixtures and contain hundreds of chemically different constituents, which make the quality control (QC) of crude drugs and their medical preparations extremely difficult. In the past years, with the rapid development of modern instrumental analysis and computer-aided data processing techniques, great progress has been made in the research...

Development and characterization of a simple microfluidic electrochemical flow cell that can be coupled with HPLC to enable dual absorbance/electrochemical detection is described. Coupling absorbance and electrochemical detection increases the information that can be gathered from a single injection, but a second (typically expensive) detection system is required. Here, an inexpensive, customiz...
