Polymer Laboratories, now a part of Varian, Inc., has published an application note on Universal quantification using ELS detection and real-time response control. The ability of the Varian 385-LC to overcome solvent enhancement effects during gradient elution makes it ideal for quantifying unknown compounds. This application note shows that combined with the improved sensitivity to semi-volatile compounds at sub-ambient temperature, the Varian ELSD offers a simple and accurate solution to universal quantification.
Modern HPLC Strategies: Improving Retention and Peak Shape for Basic Analytes
August 16th 2024In high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), it is common for bases and unreacted ionized silanols on silica-based columns to cause irreproducible retention, broad peaks, and peak tailing when working with basic analytes. David S. Bell, Lead Consultant at ASKkPrime LLC offers innovative HPLC strategies that can help mitigate such issues.
Characterizing Cooked Cheese Flavor with Gas Chromatography
September 19th 2024A joint study by the Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences at the University of Reading and Synergy Flavours aimed to identify volatiles that contribute to the aroma of cooked cheese, including the role of fat content in development during cooking.
