< Poster: Added July, 2009
Several columns were assessed for biogenic amines analysis. The Pinnacle® DB PFP Propyl column, interfaced to an API 3200™ LC/MS/MS system, gave an LOD about 100 times better than FDA specifications for histamine in fish.

Using a Fraction of the Solvent with dSPE

Simplify and speed up sample preparation with Restek dispersive SPE tubes! Here we show the extraction and clean-up of pesticide residues from olive oil samples — twice as fast as gel permeation chromatography (GPC), with only a fraction of the solvent required for conventional solid phase extraction (SPE).

Using Water-Compatible Allure® or Ultra C18 Columns

Commonly used organic acid methods (e.g. AOAC method 986.13) depend on reversed phase HPLC and C18 columns, however these columns are vulnerable to phase collapse when used with the aqueous mobile phases necessary for optimal organic acid analysis. Restek’s Ultra Aqueous C18, Allure® Aqueous C18, and Allure® Organic Acids columns all withstand phase collapse and resolve organic acids in a 100% aqueous mobile phase, compared to a conventional C18 column which shows a complete loss of retention.
