We have developed a chromatographic method suitable for the fractionation of polysaccharides having a negatively charged group. The method permits the removal of all those polysaccharide fragments having a short sequence and which are likely unsuitable for conjugate vaccine construction. The selected polysaccharide fragments can be used to produce glycoconjugate vaccines containing a restricted saccharide polydispersion. We have applied this chromatographic method to three different antigens, Haemophilus influenzae type b and Neisseria meningitidis group A and group C polysaccharides. The method is easily adapted for manufacturing purposes.

Radix Rehmanniae (RR) is a widely used herb in traditional Chinese Medicine with properties of tonifying the kidneys and nourishing the blood. Both raw and processed RR are effective for the treatment of diabetes in clinical practice. Oligosaccharides and iridoid glycosides are the primary active components responsible for the anti-diabetic effects of RR.

A simple and fast LC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for simultaneous quantification of 20 L-amino acids (AAs) in human plasma. Chromatographic separation was achieved on an Agilent AdvanceBio Hilic column within 15 min via gradient elution with an aqueous solution containing 5 mM ammonium formate, 5 mM ammonium acetate and 0.1 % formic acid and an organic mobile phase containing 0.

We developed a reversed-phased high-performance liquid chromatographic method combining ultraviolet detection and integrated pulsed amperometric detection for the simultaneous quantification of dopamine, 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid, homovanillic acid, serotonin, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, norepinephrine and epinephrine. All target components were completely separated in a C18 column with isocratic elution of 5% acetonitrile solution containing 8 mM HClO4 and 0.20 mM 1-octanesulfonic acid as an ion pairing reagent.
