While tailing and overloading of basic compounds remain problematic on most RP columns, a new kind of positively charged RP column named XCharge C18 was found to be superior good for the separation of alkaloids in our practical use. In this work, the surface charge property of the XCharge C18 column was evaluated by the retention of NO(3)(-) under different pH values and buffer concentrations. ...

A facile "one-pot" approach to prepare organo-silica hybrid capillary monolithic column with intact mesoporous silica nanoparticle (IMSN) as crosslinker and building block was described. An IMSN crosslinked octadecyl-silica hybrid capillary monolithic column (IMSN-C18 monolithic column) was successfully prepared, and the effects of fabrication conditions (e.g. concentration of intact mesoporous...

Background An HPLC method employing a post-column derivatization strategy using the cupric reducing antioxidant capacity reagent (CUPRAC reagent) for the determining antioxidants in plant-based materials leverages the separation capability of regular HPLC approaches while allowing for detection specificity for antioxidants. Methods Three different column types, namely core-shell and porous si...

Saponins are widely distributed in the plant kingdom and have been shown to be active components of many medicinal herbs. In this study, a two-dimensional purification method based on reversed-phase liquid chromatography coupled with hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography was successfully applied to purify saponins from leaves of Panax notoginseng. Nine saponin reference standards were u...

weight-gain and potency enhancing drugs are the most popular herbal products in iran which are easily available via the internet and through illegal markets. the content of some of these popularly purchased products were investigated for the presence of illegal substance like phosphodiesterase inhibitors (pdh-5) and corticosteroids by hplc method. for this study, ten samples of both kind of her...

a special type of silica-based columns has been recently introduced into the market which is called narrow-bore columns. they have lower internal volume than the standard high-performance liquid chromatography (hplc) columns and thus reduce the solvent consumption by almost 80%.    a simple, accurate and environmentally friendly reversed phase- hplc (rp-hplc method) which could be used in fast ...

Lipopeptides are currently re-emerging as an interesting subgroup in the peptide research field, having historical applications as antibacterial and antifungal agents and new potential applications as antiviral, antitumor, immune-modulating and cell-penetrating compounds. However, due to their specific structure, chromatographic analysis often requires special buffer systems or the use of trifl...

This paper describes the separation and detection of five inorganic anions (I - , BrO3 NO2 Br NO3 -) by capillary ion chromatography using 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium-coated columns UV at 210 nm. The salts imidazolium (IM) ions (C2-, C4-, C6-, C8-, C10-, C18-IMs) are a family ionic liquids were newly examined as permanent coating reagents on triacontyl (C30) -bonded silica reversed phase column...

Single component isotherm data of caffeine and phenol were acquired on two different stationary phases for RPLC, using a methanol/water solution (25%, v/v, methanol) as the mobile phase. The columns were the non-endcapped Waters Resolve-C18, and the Waters XTerra MS C18. Both columns exhibit similar C18 -chain densities (2.45 and 2.50 micromol/m2) and differ essentially by the nature of the und...

A method has been developed to determine the presence of aflatoxin B1 in the urine of animals (including humans) by utilizing commercial immunochemical kits that can be used in the field. Urine is treated with diatomaceous earth and filtered to clarify the sample; 2-3 ppb aflatoxin B1, corresponding to about 300 ppb in the ingested feed/food, can be detected in the filtered urine without furthe...
