Heavy Metals in Pet Food: Changes in Heavy Metal Contamination in Pet Food Over the Past Decade
January 23rd 2024This new updated study revisits pet food brands first analyzed in 2009 and looks at new brands which that emerged after the 2007 pet food crisis and later enactment of FSMA to see if heavy metal contamination has significantly changed in the decade since the first study.
Breaking Down the Microplastics Problem with Pyrolysis-GC/MS
January 23rd 2024Professor Wan-Tang (Grace) Chen of the University of Massachusetts Lowell accepted our invite to participate in a virtual Q&A session. Dr. Chen directs the Plastics & Environment Research Laboratory at the university and was gracious enough to share what her team is working on, and how they’re leveraging the Pyrolysis-GC/MS technique in novel microplastics research.
Heat and High pH Forced Degradation of Antibodies on a Biozen dSEC-2 Column
January 22nd 2024This application note demonstrates the applicability of the Biozen dSEC-2 column in understanding the biophysical integrity monoclonal antibodies and related proteins. The hydrophilic nature of the Biozen dSEC-2 stationary phase shows favorable aggregate profiles for forced degradation work under high salt conditions which is a known challenge when working with more hydrophobic hybrid particles for these studies.
Size Exclusion Chromatography for the Determination of Protein
January 22nd 2024An understanding of analyte hydrodynamic radius (Rh), as well as size exclusion column pore size and distribution, are all critical in the understanding of how an analyte will behave by SEC. In this white paper, we will explore several protein standards with known hydrodynamic radii, and how this can be used to determine ideal size exclusion conditions for optimal method performance.
Analysis of mononucleotides using microchip CE-MS
December 11th 2023In this study, we present an ion-pairing-free method for AXPs analysis using microchip CE-MS. This fast, simple method achieves baseline resolution for Adenosine, AMP, ADP, and ATP. Excellent linearity and sensitivity are observed in human plasma.
Modernization of 5µm Chinese Pharmacopeia (CP) HPLC Methods for High Throughput Laboratories
November 29th 2023HPLC chromatographic methods can be greatly improved and modernized by simply reducing the column’s length and particle size. This not only saves time, but increases consumption and waste generation. By using modern HALO®Fused-Core® column technology, methods can be shortened thereby increasing laboratory efficiency while keeping back pressures under instrument pressure limitations.
Dedicated Dialogue: Improving Chromatography of Basic Compounds
November 29th 2023HPLC and LC-MS separation materials and methodologies have evolved over the years to meet the challenges of the growing complexity of the separations themselves. In this Q&A, Stephanie Rosenberg, Director of Sales and Marketing discusses how utilizing the new HALO® positively charged surface columns impact the perforance of LC and LCMS separations for basic compounds.
Bioanalysis Solutions Guidebook
November 29th 2023This guide will discuss improved reversed phase biomolecule separation solutions for monoclonal antibodies, as well as chromatography columns used to develop an understanding of the protein backbone via peptide mapping. Glycosylation analysis using HILIC will also be discussed. Examples will highlight areas in the workflow where HALO® Fused-Core® columns with appropriate pore sizes and phases offer unique advantages.
