There has been a tendency to discount thin-layer chromatography (TLC) in recent years because of the availability of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods that appeared to offer greater versatility and ease of quantification, amongst other reasons. However, TLC has made a comeback, largely because of the high reproducibility and lower costs of commercial pre-coated plates. It is...

The current trend in liquid chromatography is towards the achievement of higher kinetic efficiency and shorter analysis time. Different types of column packings are now available for attaining very fast and high resolution separations without changing instruments, worrying about high backpressure or compromising column longevity. In recent developments of particle technology, the use of superfi...

background and objectives: furfural (f) and hydroxymethyl furfural (hmf) are cyclic aldehydes, which are formed during the heat processing of foods. these chemical contaminants have received much attention due to their suspected health hazards and heat damage indicators. the aim of the present study was extraction and determination of f and hmf in baby-foods using dispersive liquid-liquid micro...

A sensitive and reliable method is described for the determination of ochratoxin A (OTA) in maize. An extraction and clean-up procedure was used, with chloroform-phosphoric acid as the extractant, and liquid-liquid partition and anion-exchange chromatography (SAX columns) for the clean-up. Quantification of toxin is achieved by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Recoveries were betw...

High-performance liquid chromatography has replaced several spectroscopic methods and gas in the quantitative qualitative analysis of medications pre-sale procedure testing done past ten years. This is as part marketing drugs their control. During early stages its application, high-performance (HPLC) was expected to be a that would supplement chromatography; nevertheless, today, HPLC almost ent...

Abstract Any chosen analytical method should be subtle, precise, fast and exact to begin the guarantee that material used in manufacturing is free of unsolicited impurity, existence which may vary safety effectiveness drug product. The techniques HPLC UPLC have established their part pharmaceutical cleaning validation. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) main biomedical analysis appro...

Determination of drug residues in food is of great importance due to their toxicity. Long-term exposure with low level of drug residues could be important, especially in children. Based on document study, oxytetracycline (OTC) is a prophylaxis and treatment agent for great number of diseases and possesses a broad spectrum activity against many pathogenic organisms and can be toxic or cause alle...

Hypertension is one of the most common causes of death, a complex and incompletely controlled disease for millions of patients. Metoprolol, bisoprolol, nebivolol and atenolol are selective beta-blockers frequently used in the management of arterial hypertension, alone or in fixed combination with other substances. This study presents the most used analytical methods for simultaneous determinati...
