What chemicals can be detected using a Gas Chromatography? There are actually two types of Gas Chromatography – Gas-Solid and Gas-Liquid depending on the kind of column is used

The HPLC method used a C8 column and the potassium chloride in aqueous acetic acid as a mobile phase with a linear gradient. The retention time was a bit over 20 min and the identity of the peak was confirmed as furosine by MS (mass spectrometry).

During the heating process carbonyl groups of sugars react with amino groups of amino acids and peptides forming a variety of products. The products of this, so-called, Maillard reaction contribute to flavor, aroma, and color of soy milk.

Research scientists at the University of Tokyo have come up with a unique material that can transmit electrical energy to nearby devices without the need for direct contact.

Nano HPLC is a relatively new development in chromatography world driven by recent advancements in proteomics that would require decreasing of inner diameter (ID) of liquid chromatography (LC) column to allow for a smaller sample amount and to increase sensitivity.

Immunoassays and other methods also suffer from extraction problems with dark chocolate, due to interactions of the allergenic proteins with other components, especially tannins. In light of all of these difficulties, US scientists at the Center for Food Safety and Nutrition have developed a new method for detecting the principal allergen, Ara h 1, in dark chocolate, based on proteomics

Scientist at Weber State University developed methods for extraction, identification and quantitation of xanthones and their derivatives: alpha-mangostin, 8-desoxygartanin, gartanin, beta-mangostin, 3-mangostin, and 9-hydroxycalabaxanthone.

A highly sensitive new method of testing explosives was developed by a group of scientists at Aston Labs – the research group of Professor R. Graham Cooks at Purdue University.

Metrohm, Ltd., a Swiss based company, recently introduced a new Ion Chromatography (IC) System – ProfIC. Metrohm claims it as “the first professional IC system with intelligent system components.

Scientists from University of Hertfordshire (UK) are using new chemistry laboratories to analyze a random selection of red wines to determine the levels of resveratrol which is a natural antioxidant found in red wine and red grape skins
