Acquity UPLC Analysis of Edible Oils

This application note describes a 10-minute separation and identification method for analysis of edible oils with Waters® ACQUITY UPLC®/PDA system using low toxic solvents, acetonitrile and 2-propanol as the mobile phase. The UPLC/PDA method not only allows faster and more precise analysis of triglycerides to authenticate the edible oils but also detects oxidized and decomposed triglyceride, enabling simultaneous determination of oil purity.

Isolating Trace Impurities for Structural Elucidation in a Commercial Fungicide Formulation Using Preparative SFC

Trace impurities in synthetic products that interact with human end users or may have an undesirable environmental fate are regulated by various government agencies such as FDA and EPA. As a result, impurity separation and their structural identification are important research functions for many industries, including pharmaceutical, agrochemical, food, and consumer products. This application note describes a workflow to achieve full structural elucidation of trace impurities that can be implemented using preparative supercritical fluid chromatography to isolate trace impurities.

Enantiomeric and Diastereomeric Separations of Fragrance and Essential Oil Components Using the ACQUITY UPC2 System with ACQUITY UPC2 Trefoil Columns

This application note demonstrates the successful chiral separations of fragrance compounds on ACQUITY UPC2 Trefoil AMY1 and CEL1 Columns using an ACQUITY UPC2 System. The low system volume and extra-column volume of the UPC2, combined with the reduced particle size of the ACQUITY UPC2 Trefoil AMY1 and CEL1 Columns, enable superior, faster, and more efficient separations compared with traditional SFC and GC.
