High-performance liquid chromatographic analysis of dinitrobenzene isomers

Summary An efficient, reproducible and rapid high-performance liquid chromatographic method, in normal phase mode, for the analysis of the three dinitrobenzene isomers is described. The method affords good linearity for each isomer in the range 10–160 g ml^–1. The total analysis time is only 10 minutes, and the method shows an accuracy of ±1.25% with a coefficient of variation from 0.30% to 2.85% for different levels of the dinitrobenzene isomers.     

High-performance liquid chromatographic analysis of steroid hormones

In the present work, a practical, rapid, reliable and isocratic reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method is described for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of estriol, estradiol-17 beta, estrone, testosterone, and progesterone. Chromatographic separation is complete in 16 min using a mobile phase of 50% acetonitrile (v/v) in water. The order of elution is estriol, testosterone, estradiol-17 beta, estrone, and progesterone; retention times are 2.5, 5.5, 5.6, 6.9, 16.3 min, respectively. Absorbance maxima of individual steroids is the limiting factor in quantitative determination. The recommended wavelengths for UV monitoring are E3 214, E2 280, T 254, E1 214, and P4 254 nm.     

High-performance liquid chromatographic analysis of azlocillin in serum

Summary A rapid and sensitive high performance liquid chromatographic method is described for the determination of azlocillin in serum. This method involves a short manual protein precipitation of the sample followed by an injection into a PR 18 column for separation and quantitation. The mobile phase was a 22% (V/V) solution acetonitrile in phosphate buffer pH 4.8 at a flow rate of 2,5 ml/min. The spectrophotometer detector was set at 220 nm with a sensitivity of 0.08 AUFS.     

High-performance liquid chromatographic determination of bleomycins.

A rapid and specific ion-pair reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the determination of bleomycins. The use of 5-microns particles of less adsorptive reversed-phase packings and sodium perchlorate as ion-pairing reagent permitted a short analysis time and the transferability of the separations on different batches of the reversed-phase materials. The detection sensitivity and precision of the method demonstrated that the system is suitable for routine analysis.     

High-performance liquid chromatographic determination of prostacyclin.

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the analysis of prostacyclin using a laboratory prepared reversed-phase column packing is described. A relative standard deviation of less than 1% was obtained for ten replicate injections. The system resolves prostacyclin from its hydrolysis product, 6-oxo-prostaglandin F1 alpha and from other prostaglandins present as impurities. These can be estimated to levels of approximately 0.5%. The separation of other unrelated prostaglandins by this method is briefly reported.     

High-performance liquid chromatographic determination of kanamycin.

A fast, selective, and precise liquid chromatographic method for simultaneous, independent determination of kanamycins A and B is described. Sample components are separated on a pellicular cation exchanger and monitored by fluorescence using post-column on-line derivatization. Less than 0.35 mug of kanamycin B can be detected in as much as 7 mug kanamycin A injected. The detection limit for kanamycin A is less than 20 ng injected. Reproducibility of the entire chromatographic system is about 1% (2 theta) based upon repeated injections of standards. Precision of repeated process sample preparation is about 6% (2 theta). Chromatographic analysis time is less than 15 min per sample.     

High-performance liquid chromatographic analysis of g;ycosaminoglycan-derived oligosaccharides

High-performance liquid chromatography of glycosaminoglycan (GAG)-derived oligosaccharides has been employed for structural analysis and measurement of hyaluronan, chondroitin sulphate, dermatan sulphate, keratan sulphate, herapan sulphate and heparin. Recent developments in the separation and detection of unsaturated dissacharides and oligosaccharides derived from GAGs by enzyme or chemical degradation are reviewed.
