Pressurized planar electrochromatography (PPEC) is the mode which offers much higher separation efficiency in comparison to conventional planar chromatography, including both higher performance and much higher speed of separation. In this paper, we present a new device for performing PPEC in which the whole area of the chromatographic plate is pressurized. Both electrodes (anode and cathode) are washed with the mobile phase during the experiment, which prevents gas bubbles from collection in the region of the electrodes. This device enables directly controlling the flow rate of the mobile phase during the electrochromatography process. Mobile phase control offers the possibility of researching the influence of various properties of the PPEC system on separation efficiency. One important relationship to investigate is plate height vs mobile phase flow rate. This relationship helps to choose the optimal value of the mobile phase flow rate during the separation process. Considerable difference in shape of this relationship is demonstrated for conventional planar chromatography plates and high performance planar chromatography plates. Examples of the influence of some properties of the separating system on flow rate of the mobile phase are demonstrated, such as the buffer concentration in the mobile phase, the pH value of the buffer solution of the mobile phase, the type of chromatographic plate, and the voltage applied to the electrodes.

Background: Health authorities worldwide have invested in digital technologies to establish robust information exchange systems for improving the safety and efficiency of medication management. Nevertheless, inaccurate medication lists and information gaps are common, particularly during care transitions, leading to avoidable harm, inefficiencies, and increased costs. Besides fragmented health care processes, the inconsistent incorporation of patient-driven changes contributes to these problems.

Introduction: Powassan virus (POWV), a vector-borne pathogen transmitted by ticks in North America, is the causative agent of Powassan encephalitis. As obligate hematophagous organisms, ticks transmit pathogens like POWV at the tick bite site, specifically during the initial stages of feeding. Tick feeding and salivary factors modulate the host's immunological responses, facilitating blood feeding and pathogen transmission.

Background: Selpercatinib, a selective RET kinase inhibitor, is approved for treating various cancers with RET gene mutations such as RET-rearranged thyroid cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. The presence of process-related and degradation impurities in its active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) can significantly affect its safety and effectiveness. However, research on detecting these impurities is limited.

The valid method was developed for analyzing empagliflozin in serum/plasma/urine using a molecularly imprinted ghost polymer-solid-phase extraction approach (MISPE) with liquid chromatographic methodology. Methacrylic acid (MAA) was used as the monomer, 2,2 azobis isobutyronitrile as the initiator and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the cross-linker in the free radical polymerization procedure. Empagliflozin was loaded onto the polymer and eluted with 1 mL of a 9:1 MeOH:acetic acid solution.

The study of green analytical chemistry has garnered significant attention in the context of mitigating global environmental contamination. In this study, we present two methodologies for environmentally friendly chromatography that enable simultaneous and specific determination of Saxagliptin (SAX), metformin (MET), and a pharmacopoeial impurity of MET known as melamine (MEL). The initial method employed in this study is High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC), which utilized 60 F 254 silica gel-coated Mark HPTLC plates on aluminum sheets as the stationary phase.
