How Green is Your HPLC?
The Axcend Focus LC® stands out as an eco-friendly high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) due to its innovative design and sustainable features. This compact system uses significantly less solvent, consuming under 10 mL per week, and produces roughly the same amount of waste. Additionally, its energy consumption is a fraction of that of larger, bench-top LCs. By minimizing solvent use and waste production, the Axcend Focus LC not only reduces operational costs but also aligns with green analytical chemistry principles, making it an environmentally responsible choice for laboratories
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.
