Optimization and validation of evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD), aided by response surface methodology (RSM), has been developed for the liquid chromatography analysis of a wide molecular weight (MW) range of carbohydrates, including polysaccharides and oligosaccharides. Optimal experimental parameters for the ELSD detection were: 88.8°C evaporator temperature, 77.9°C nebulizer temperature and 1.1 standard litres per minute nitrogen flow rate. Optimal ELSD detection, used together with high performance size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) of carbohydrates, gave a linear range from 250 to 1000 mg L(-1) (R(2)>0.998), with limits of detection and quantitation of 4.83-11.67 and 16.11-38.91 mg L(-1), respectively. Relative standard deviation was lower than 1.8% for intra-day and inter-day repeatability for apple pectin, inulin, verbascose, stachyose and raffinose. Recovery ranged from 103.7% to 118.3% for fructo-oligosaccharides, α-galacto-oligosaccharides and disaccharides. Optimized and validated ELSD detection is proposed for the analysis of high- to low-MW carbohydrates with high sensitivity, precision and accuracy.

Sucrose and trehalose are commonly used excipients in therapeutic monoclonal antibodies that play a pivotal role in ensuring the safety and stability of drugs. Though it is necessary to control the concentrations of these substances during the quality control of their release, there is currently no comprehensive method for simultaneously determining sucrose and trehalose concentrations. Herein, we established a high-performance liquid chromatography-evaporative light scattering detector (HPLC-ELSD) method and validated it in accordance with the International Council for Harmonization Q2 guidelines.

As a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Allii Macrostemonis Bulbus (AMB) is a key herb for the treatment of thoracic paralytic cardiac pain, but its quality evaluation method has not yet been fully clarified. In this study, chromatographic fingerprints of AMB were developed using solid-phase extraction-high-performance liquid chromatography-evaporative light scattering detection (SPE-HPLC-ELSD) to evaluate the quality of AMB from various origins and processing methods. This was achieved by employing chemical pattern recognition techniques and verifying the feasibility and applicability of the quality evaluation of AMB through the quantitative analysis of multi-components via a single-marker (QAMS) method.

Dry DMSO can rapidly pull water vapor out of the air due to its hygroscopic nature. This is a well-documented problem within drug discovery, particularly within high-throughput screening (HTS). This hydration is caused by atmospheric moisture being absorbed each time a compound library is used.
