Evaluation of a novel stationary phase for the separation of lactose and isomers in lactose-free products using high-performance anion-exchange chromatography coupled with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD).

Lactose intolerance is a widespread condition, which prevents a large number of people from consuming dairy products as a part of their daily diet. It is estimated that an average of 65% of the global population is suffering from lactose intolerance. The global market for 'lactose-free' dairy products is rapidly growing and the criteria for 'lactose-free' labelled products are becoming stricter.

Analysis of glutamate, GABA, noradrenaline, dopamine, serotonin, and metabolites using microbore UHPLC with electrochemical detection.

The applicability of microbore ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) with electrochemical detection for offline analysis of a number of well-known neurotransmitters in less than 10 μL microdialysis fractions is described. Two methods are presented for the analysis of monoamine or amino acid neurotransmitters, using the same UHPLC instrument. Speed of analysis of noradrenaline (NA), dopamine (DA), serotonin (5-HT), and the metabolites homovanillic acid (HVA), 5-hydroxyindole aceticacid (5-HIAA), and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) was predominated by the retention behavior of NA, the nonideal behavior of matrix components, and the loss in signal of 5-HT.

Simultaneous determination of BNP7787 and its metabolite mesna in plasma and tissue by micro-HPLC with a dual electrochemical detector.

Sensitive, accurate, and precise assays are described to determine BNP7787 (disodium 2,2'-dithio-bis-ethane sulfonate) and its metabolite mesna (sodium 2-mercaptoethane sulfonate) simultaneously in plasma and tissue by micro-high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with dual electrochemical detection. After separation of BNP7787 and mesna by micro-HPLC, the disulfide BNP7787 was reduced to mesna by a reactor cell with a glassy carbon working electrode (-1.6 V versus Hy-REF).
