Milk Extract Analyzed by LCMS – AppNote
Analysis of Composition using LCMS Milk components are polar compounds that are not well retained or resolved by traditional Reversed Phase Chromatography. In addition, many of the compounds do not contain strong chromophores, resulting in low specificity and sensitivity in UV detection. The analysis using the Cogent Diamond Hydride Column and MS detection provides separation […]
Mycotoxins – AppNote
The detection of mycotoxins has been an area of increasing focus in ensuring human health due to their high toxicity even at low concentrations. These chemicals are produced by various species of mold, including Aspergillus Penicillium, Paecilomyces, and Fusarium types. Exposure can come from ingestion of infested food products or, in the case of fungal […]
Oleic Acid & Elaidic Acid – AppNote
Advantages of shape selectivity in cis/trans separations The separation of cis and trans isomers by Reversed Phase can be challenging, as the two compounds often have little difference in hydrophobicity. In cases such as these, additional selectivity mechanisms may be necessary to obtain resolution. Furthermore, they cannot be resolved by MS because they have the […]
