Preparative/Process Chromatography

Symposium Chair Giorgio Carta tells us what we can expect from PREP 2017 in Philadelphia

This application note describes a selection of measurements made on a GE AKTA basic system.

In this article we take an introductory look at work carried out by TU Clausthal to develop an improved understanding of the mechanisms of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) by polymer flooding, and the relevance of fluid rheology. Example data illustrates the insight that rheology provides and its application in optimizing fluid performance.

10 reasons for polymer characterization scientists. Gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) is an essential tool for the characterization of polymers. It allows polymer scientists to tailor a polymer’s properties to its end use requirements by controlling its molecular properties, since the two are inextricably linked.

This white paper offers practical guidance on using a range of analytical techniques, including rheology, particle size and zeta potential measurement to assist in the formulation of Inkjet inks.

Traditionally in GPC, the sample dissolution solvent and the mobile phase are one and the same. However, a closer look at the demands of sample solvent and mobile phase suggests that this should not always be the case.

The complementarities of two techniques, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and static light scattering detector coupled with a size exclusion chromatography system (SEC-LS), are illustrated by studying a number of samples where a thermally denatured and aggregated protein sample were dosed at different levels into a non-denatured protein sample.

In this application note, intrinsic viscosity measurements were performed on the sRAGE protein to establish whether the detector was able to detect and characterize the conformational change induced by the presence of calcium. Light scattering molecular weight measurements were also performed. Data are also presented showing that the conformation of sRAGE changes in the presence and absence of calcium.

This article explores how multiple detectors, particularly light scattering detectors, may be used for size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) in protein analysis. Using a light scattering detector as part of a multi-detector Size Exclusion Chromatography system provides the accurate molecular weight (MW) data needed to assess the activity, safety and clinical efficacy of therapeutic proteins.

The latest advances in the widely used technique of size exclusion chromatography (SEC) break new ground in terms of accuracy and sensitivity. This article assesses the information provided by multi-detector SEC and the potential benefits of recent innovations for polymeric food additive characterization.
