A modern apparatus for performing flash chromatography using commercially available, prepacked silica cartridges has been developed. The key advantage of this system, when compared to traditional flash chromatography, is its use of commercially available silica cartridges, which obviates the need for students to handle silica gel. The apparatus has been tested for its ability to perform separat...

Purification by flash chromatography strongly impacts the greenness of a process. Unfortunately, due to the lack of the relevant literature data, very often this impact cannot be assessed thus preventing the comparison of the environmental factors affecting the syntheses. We developed a simple mathematical approach to evaluate the minimum mass intensity of flash chromatography from the retentio...

Ursolic acid (UA) is a major bioactive component in many traditional medicinal plants including pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) flower. In vitro and in vivo studies have both revealed that UA has  many  important  biological  functions.In  this  study,  a  rapid  and  efficient  procedure  for preparation of UA from an Iranian pomegranate flower cultivar using ultrasound-assisted extraction fo...

Earlier column chromatography was used for preparative purposes as well reaction control in organic synthesis. Column is an extremely tedious stage any laboratory and can quickly become a point of congestion process lab. Flash technique developed modification chromatography. This air pressure driven comprising medium short chromatography, optimised rapid separation compounds. Modern flash chrom...

Background: Isolation of methyl gamma linolenate from Spirulina platensis using flash chromatography and its apoptosis inducing effect against human lung carcinoma A549 cell lines. Methods: Gamma linolenic acid is an important omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) of medicinal interest was isolated from microalgae Spirulina platensis using flash chromatography system (Isolera system) as its...
