If you synthesize organic compounds you likely have encountered situations where traditional silica or even reversed-phase chromatography just does not get the job done. Co-elution, peak tailing, yiel...
Macrocyclization of peptides has arisen as a new strategy to create proteolytically stable, membrane permeable drug candidates while maintaining target specificity. To perform this cyclization, lactam...
For chemists trying to purify polar compound mixtures, optimizing the chromatography can be very challenging. When hexane (or heptane) with ethyl acetate and a silica column fails to effectively purif...
We know that compounds can be acidic, basic and neutral. Looking at pKas and functional groups can help us understand the best approach for SPE selection and workflow. Let’s take a look at the compoun...
We know that compounds can be acidic, basic and neutral. Looking at pKas and functional groups can help us understand the best approach for SPE selection. Let’s take a look at the compound, methylmalo...
Virtually all automated flash chromatography systems today contain a diode-array UV or UV-vis detector (DAD). This type of UV detector offers multiple benefits over monochromatic UV detectors includin...
We know that compounds can be acidic, basic, and neutral. Looking at pKa and functional groups can help us further in selecting the right SPE sorbent and better understanding how it works with our ana...
Polar reaction mixtures can be a real challenge to purify with flash chromatography. Traditional normal-phase flash requires toxic dichloromethane (DCM) or chloroform with methanol for these types of ...
You may have already read the previous blogs about QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, Safe) extraction and cleanup, but, if you have quite a few different matrix interferences or analyte...
In unconventional assays, it may be difficult to find an effective purification method to separate your biomolecule from your complex sample. With factors such as specificity, selectivity, stability, ...
