New philosophies in pharmaceutical industry such as Quality by Design (QbD) require a detailed understanding of the properties and behaviour of drug components, including polymeric excipients such as binders and disintegrants. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC, also known as size exclusion chromatography) is a vital tool for investigating the behaviour of polymers, and is increasingly employed in pharmaceutical laboratories to investigate macromolecules. This article discusses GPC and gives examples of the use of the technique in excipient analysis.
Monitoring 5-Fluorouracil Levels in Dried Blood Spots with UHPLC-MS/MS
May 3rd 2024Researchers have utilized ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UH PLC-MS/MS) to monitor 5-Fluorouracil, a medication used to treat various cancers, in dried blood spots. This process offers a simpler, more efficient method than those in place involving the monitoring of plasma.
