Automate Your Analytical Processes with the Continuous Flow Analyzer

Image
  Automatic Continuous Flow Wet Chemistry Analyzer In the world of analytical chemistry, efficiency and reliability are paramount. Laboratories dealing with various sample matrices, such as sea water, drinking water, wastewater, environmental samples, soil, food, beverages, tobacco, and more, face the challenge of testing different parameters accurately and efficiently. Manual sample preparation methods can be complex and time-consuming. However, a revolutionary solution has emerged— the AMS Alliance FUTURA 3 Continuous Flow Analyzer. This cutting-edge instrument automates the testing process, providing a complete and reliable solution for laboratories seeking streamlined operations. Each FUTURA 3 console integrates a high precision 3-speed peristaltic pump (medium, fast (startup and washout more speed) and slow (for low consumption of reagents)), a removable drawer for reagents, an analytical manifold, a heater, a detector, and a built-in display for the presentation of essential diag

Learn about the Identification and Quantification of API’s

Image
  Identification and Quantification of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs)  are the active  chemical components  of a  drug product  that are responsible for the desired  therapeutic effects  of that drug. Once an API is developed, it is combined with other inactive ingredients to create a final dosage form such as a tablet, capsule, or liquid that can be administered to patients. The quality and purity of the API are critical to the safety and efficacy of the drug product; thus, the identification and quantification of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) is a crucial step in the quality control of  pharmaceutical products . There are various methods available for this purpose, such as  High-performance liquid chromatography   (HPLC) ,  Gas chromatography (GC) ,  Mass spectrometry (MS) ,  Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy   (FTIR) ,  Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) ,  Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy ,  X-r

TLC/HPTLC Fingerprinting Analysis Of Cyperus Rotundus (Linn.)

Image
  What Is HPTLC Fingerprinting ? High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) is a modern version of TLC wherein the principle is the same but practice is different. HPTLC is GLP/USP/EP compliant technique . USP’s (United States Pharmacopoeia) definition of HPTLC fingerprint is ‘It is the ( electronic ) image of the visual HPTLC chromatogram. Images are taken at 254nm, 366nm and in white light using suitable TLC photo docsystemstion system like CAMAG visualizer . Fingerprint is evaluated based on Rf, color and intensity of the separated bands. While developing fingerprint our aim should be to separate maximum number of compound with good resolution. For fingerprint development, BRM (Botanical Reference Material) and other related or confounding species are used for comparison. The same species of interest from different geographical or climatic conditions are also used to check variation in the samples. C. rotundus is a traditional herbal medicine i.e. used for the treatment

The Role Of HPTLC In Food Analysis

Image
  Why Is It Challenging To Analyze Food Samples? As food/ food components are very complex in nature, analysis of foods is a very challenging sector. Food samples often come with heavy matrices due to the presence of primary metabolites like carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. Besides this, there may be other complex components which may interfere with the analyte of interest. A number of analytical instruments are used for the analysis of food samples. If we talk about chromatography, instruments like HPTLC, HPLC and GC are most commonly used depending on the aim/type of analysis. HPTLC technique can be used not just for traditional food samples but also for recent categories of food samples like functional foods, nutraceuticals and dietary samples. The Role Of HPTLC In Food Analysis CAMAG HPTLC , a very flexible, cost-effective and fast technique is very useful for the analysis of food samples. Validated HPTLC methods fulfil the requirements for reliable food analysis in many food fi
