A method for rapid screening of interactions of pharmacologically active compounds with albumin.

We determine the association constants for ligand-protein complex formation using the flow injection method. We carry out the measurements at high flow rates (F=1 mL min(-1)) of a carrier phase. Therefore, determination of the association constant takes only a few minutes.

Taylor dispersion analysis in coiled capillaries at high flow rates.

Taylor Dispersion Analysis (TDA) has been performed for analytes moving at high flow rates in long, coiled capillaries. A thin injection zone of the analyte is stretched by the flow and final distribution of concentration of the analyte at the end of the capillary has the gaussian shape. The high flow rates in coiled capillary generate vortices.
