High-Speed Countercurrent Chromatography Separation of Compounds from Herb
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Guangdong, China) used high-speed countercurrent chromatography to purify two benzoxazinoid glucosides from Acanthus ilicifolius L.
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Guangdong, China) used high-speed countercurrent chromatography to purify two benzoxazinoid glucosides from Acanthus ilicifolius L. The spiny herb is found in the mangroves of Southeast Asia and reportedly has medicinal properties. They first used n-butanol to extract the compounds from the plant. They then used a two-phase solvent system consisting of ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and 0.5% ammonium hydroxide for the single-step countercurrent chromatography separation of the two compounds. They also developed a two-step second separation process to obtain the compounds with higher purity.
Gulf Coast Conference: Increasing Density and Viscosity Throughput with Difficult Samples
October 19th 2023Daniel Wolbrecht, senior technical sales consultant at Anton Paar, held a workshop at the Gulf Coast Conference in Galveston, Texas, focusing on how heated autosampler units can help analyze difficult samples.
