Background: Astaxanthin is widely and naturally distributed in marine animals including, crustaceans, such as shrimp, crabs, and fish, such as salmon and trout. Methods: A total of 20 trout samples were collected from local market and were analyzed for astaxanthin via HPLC-UV. Analyte extraction was done by water, methanol, dichloromethane, and acetonitrile 4.5:85:5:45.5, v/v/v/v. Results: Desp...

BACKGROUND A simple, precise and sensitive HPLC method has been developed for simultaneous determination of carvedilol and losartan in human plasma and urine samples. The analytes were extracted by a dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction method. A mobile phase of 15 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (pH 4.0)/acetonitrile/2-propanol (70/27.5/2.5, v/v/v) was used to separate the drugs usin...

In Thailand, poisoning by glyphosate (GLYP)-containing the herbicide, Roundup®, has been increasing. A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method with UV detector has been developed for quantitating glyphosate. The serum samples (0.2 mL) were precipitated with acetonitrile (0.2 mL), and the supernatant was then injected directly into the chromatographic system using a fi xed volume l...

The principles and design of a Hadamard transform UV absorbance detector for liquid chromatography are outlined, and some spectra of aromatic compounds passing through its flow cell are presented. This approach could be valuable in providing a low-cost multi-wavelength detection method for liquid chromatography.

A simple and rapid method of reversed-phase ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV-detection on a common C(18) column in an isocratic mode with the addition of tetrabutylammonium phosphate for the separation of polyprenyl phosphate oligomerhomologues has been developed. The method was successfully applied to assay the composition of polyprenyl phosphates obtained from p...
