Fast RPLC Method Development for Structurally Similar Triazine Herbicides Using MaxPeak™ Premier Columns and the Systematic Screening Approach
Triazine herbicides are commonly used in crop management to remove invasive plant species. These herbicides disrupt the photosynthesis cycle, leading to plant death and can contaminate soil and groundwater if used in high enough concentrations and for long enough duration. As such, the monitoring of these herbicides is important to minimize and monitor contamination. The app note outlines using a systematic screening protocol to develop a method for the analysis of a mixture of seven structurally similar triazine herbicides.
Trends, Best Practices, and Analytical Challenges in Chemical Characterization of Medical Devices
October 7th 2024Chemical characterization of medical devices, including drug-device combination products, is crucial for ensuring regulatory compliance and patient safety by identifying and quantifying chemicals that may interact with the human body. This paper explores current trends, best practices, and regulatory developments in extractables and leachables (E&L) testing for medical devices.
Pick Your Poison: Isolation of Paclitaxel (Octt 2024)
October 4th 2024The diterpenoid, paclitaxel, which was identified as a potent chemotherapy agent for breast and ovarian cancer originates from the Pacific Yew tree. The isolation of paclitaxel from its major impurities is shown with the use of Hamilton’s PRP-1 (5 µm) HPLC column.
