Pharmaceutical Analysis

Scientists propose a gel-free hybridization assay using peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes and capillary electrophoresis (CE) for qualitative and quantitative analysis of nucleic acid therapeutics.

Researchers have developed a new model for achiral chromatography (ACh) that can separate non-racemic mixtures of enantiomers.

In the first of a two-part series, a recent study discusses a new strategy for assessing the peak purity of pharmaceutical peptides analysis using 2D-LC–MS.

Sartans are important drugs that help treat hypertension and heart failure. However, since their recall in 2018 because of the presence of genotoxic impurities in these drugs, researchers are tackling the question of how to detect these impurities in these drugs before they go to market. This article describes a HPLC–APCI-MS/MS method that can help in this endeavor.

Solid-phase microextraction combined with mass spectrometry improves our ability for rapid drug screening.

SIFT–MS analysis has potential to screen large numbers of packaging samples for the volatile MOH fraction, providing a rapid indication of packaging material contamination.

The current challenges and future perspectives of the purification of cannabinoids from cannabis extracts are presented in this review article.

This simple, rapid, and accurate HPLC-UV method can facilitate routine therapeutic drug monitoring in neonates.

Barry L. Karger and James P. Grinias are the winners of the 15th annual LCGC Lifetime Achievement and Emerging Leader in Chromatography Awards, respectively, for 2022. Here, we review their achievements.

Compact instrumentation offers important advantages for many workflows, as illustrated by these examples.

This novel gas chromatography (GC)–MS approach enables analysis of the suspected mutagens bis(pinacolato)diboron (BPD) and tetrahydroxydiboron (BBA) found at low-levels in certain intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), even in the presence of boron from other sources.

Here, a new automated active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) extraction platform is integrated with online liquid chromatography (LC) to assess drug product potency. The platform dissolves the tablet coating (if present), disintegrates the tablet, and disperses and solubilizes the tablet for analysis.
