Published: August 2000

Over the last 10 to 15 years capillary electrophoresis (CE) has become an extensively used separation technique in the pharmaceutical industry. The attraction of the various modes of operation of CE to analysts is their complementarity to other more established methodology, in particular high-performance liquid chromatography. CE methods have been developed not only for the resolution of drug substances that vary widely in their structure, size and stereochemistry, but also for the determination of the physico-chemical constants of analytes, such as pKa and isoelectric point (pI) values, binding and complexation constants, and octanol-water partition coefficients.

Ribosomes, discovered in 1955 by George Palade, were initially described as small cytoplasmic particles preferentially associated with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Over the years, extensive research has focused on both the structure and function of ribosomes. However, a fundamental question - how many ribosomes are present within whole cells - has remained largely unaddressed.

Personal care products (PCPs), such as sunscreens, are usually found in various aquatic ecosystems at low concentrations (ng l to µg l). However, there is limited information regarding their effects on marine bivalves. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the sublethal effects of environmental concentrations (1 and 100 µg l) of benzophenone-3 (BP-3) in Crassostrea gigas oysters after 1 and 7 days of exposure.

Capillary electrophoresis-sodium dodecyl sulfate (CE-SDS) is widely used in the biopharmaceutical industry for monitoring purity and analyzing impurities. The accuracy of the method may be compromised by artificial species resulting from sample preparation or electrophoresis separation due to suboptimal conditions. During non-reduced CE-SDS analysis of a multispecific antibody (msAb), named as multispecific antibody C (msAb-C), a cluster of unexpected peaks was observed after the main peak.

Background: Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a stable compound in human blood that covalently binds the N-terminal valine residue of the β-chain in hemoglobin A to the free aldehyde group of glucose. It can reflect the average blood glucose level of patients in the past 2 - 3 months. Therefore, the accuracy of HbA1c detection results is of great significance for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of diabetes.
