Preparative and Process Chromatography
lthough liquid chromatography (LC) is most commonly associated with analytical techniques that are found inside the laboratory, LC also has been used in industrial applications for separation of a wide range of products for decades. The technique recently has been applied to requirements in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, both inside the laboratory and in industrial settings. With global sales of over $1.7 billion, the market for preparative LC has encountered a stellar growth over the past few years.

Worldwide preparative and process chromatography demand.
The steady growth of pharmaceutical and biotechnology research is continuing to drive strong demand for preparative chromatography, which has become a commonplace laboratory preparative technique for improving a wide range of analyses. With the increase of the number of drug candidates reaching clinical trial phases, and full approval, non-analytical chromatography is seeing dramatic growth at the pilot and process scales.
The preparative and process chromatography market, including prep HPLC and LPLC, flash, SFC, SMB, pilot, and process-scale chromatography, is likely to benefit from the FDA initiative to modernize the regulation guidelines of pharmaceutical manufacturing. Drug makers often have been reluctant to change manufacturing processes and equipment because of regulatory hurdles. Among other measures, an effort is being made to accommodate process changes that would support continuous process improvement and encouraging the use of modern tools.

AI-Powered Precision for Functional Component Testing in Tea Analysis
October 11th 2024Analyzing functional foods reveals numerous health benefits. These foods are rich in bioactive compounds that go beyond basic nutrition, boosting the immune system and improving overall wellness. However, analyzing these compounds can be challenging. This article discusses AI algorithms to support automated method development for liquid chromatography, simplifying the process, enhancing labor efficiency, and ensuring precise results, making it accessible to non-experts for tea analysis.
Advanced LC–MS Analysis for PFAS Analysis in Eggs
October 11th 2024The European Commission's regulation on maximum levels for certain contaminants in food highlights the need for precise and reliable methods to quantify per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in various food matrices. This article discusses development and validation of a robust method for analyzing 21 PFAS compounds in chicken eggs using solid-phase extraction (SPE) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS).
