4. Analysis of Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM) [26]
The identification and quantification of components of traditional TCM by chromatographic analysis (HPLC) is one of the major challenge. As TCM is a complex matrices in which all the constituents plays specific role for the overall efficacy. So the analysis of all the constituents synchronously is necessary to quality control the TCM. So the new technique UPLC is used for the quality control of the TCM.
5. Multi-residue analysis of pharmaceuticals inwaste water [27]

For the development of robust and reliable method, the labs are required to study various combinations of different parameters mobile phase, temperature, pH, column and gradient chemistry etc. UPLC plays an important role in the laboratory which reduces the cost and increases the efficiency of analysis required for developing and validating the method. With UPLC, the speed of the separations increases and efficiency improves, which results in the fast development of methodologies. Some of the advantages of the UPLC: a) High stability of the UPLC Columns provides possibility of selection of column temperature and pH from a wide range. b) It is possible to use HPLC methods on the UPLC as the UPLC Column manager evaluates the column temperature between and below 10°C to 90°C. c) UPLC calculator keeps information at …show more content…

11. Dissolution Testing [29]
Dissolution testing is one of the most important steps carried out for the drug release testing in formulation and manufacturing process. The dissolution data provides understanding to validate consistency and uniformity of the active ingredient in every batch. Testing of potent drugs in sustained release dosage form is very important as their dissolution studies data affect the delivery of the medicine. Moreover, new and potent formulations require higher separation sensitivity. UPLC method provides accurate and consistent automated online sample acquirement.
12. Bioequivalence / Bio-analysis Studies [29]
Bioequivalence studies are pharmacokinetic studies needed for the quantitation of a drug in biological samples. During bioequivalence studies, quantitative bio analysis is an important step to compare the rate and exposure level of newly developed formulations of prevailing drugs to permit the drugs to reach the bloodstream with that of original formulation. The selectivity and sensitivity of UPLC-MS/MS at low detection levels produce reliable and precise data. UPLC- MS/MS solutions have increased efficacy, output and profitability for the bioequivalence laboratories. UPLC sample manager enhances the effectiveness by considering huge numbers of samples in a temperature-controlled atmosphere, confirming maximum throughput which increases the sensitivity and quality of

    In this experiment, unknown B was a solid mixture containing two compounds of interests, 1,4-dimethoxybenzene and neutral benzoic acid. These compounds were separated by extraction and washing, and liquid-liquid extraction was specifically performed. Extraction is the process by which a compound of interest is selectively removed from impurities, and washing is the process by which unwanted products or impurities are selectively removed from the desired product. In liquid-liquid extraction, unknown B was dissolved sequentially into two immiscible liquids via a separatory funnel.…

    Task 3 P1 When using thin layer chromatography (TLC) to test for purity of aspirin it is a quick and simple method. Firstly when using the TLC method you need to have a TLC sheet and mark on the sheet 0.5cm up on the sheet and draw a line, make sure you don’t press too hard on the paper as this will disrupt the absorbent on the paper. You need to make sure the samples have been marked on the paper so you don’t get mixed up and leave a gap between the aspirin samples so they don’t run together as this will give an inaccurate result. Next get a 1% concentrated sample of a known purity of salicylic acid as this is suitable for the TLC analysis, then obtain a small glass rod (micro capillary) and use this to dip in the solution and on to the paper in the position where the sample of aspirin is named.…

    2- The fluctuations in plasma drug concentration are minimized and side effect associates with concentration are also minimized. 3- Complete absorption of drug from the floating formulation is expected even at alkaline pH of intestine. The dissolution occurs in gastric fluid and after emptying of the stomach contents the dissolved drug is available for absorption in small intestine. 4- Because of site‐specific absorption from the upper part of the GIT, Drugs that have poor bioavailability are potential candidates to be formulated as floating drug delivery systems, thereby maximizing their absorption.…

    A important tests were performed on the product to pressure the results: melting point value, percent yield, IR, and TLC. The experimental melting point value was found to be a range of 165-167 ºC being a little lower than the literature value for camphor, the intended product, was 175 ºC. The sharp range was resulted in a slightly pure product. The percent yield was lower than expected which can be the reason most of the product was lost during the extraction and almost completely sublimated during the solvent evaporation, which lead to vacuum filtration. As a known possibility, some ketone and alcohol was formed and could be associated with the borneol drying out an contaminating the water.…

    To identify the unknown chemical mixture (#757), a TLC analysis was conducted using three standards (aspirin, acetaminophen, and caffeine). A TLC plate was prepared by drawing an origin line and solvent front line with a pencil. Three spot were labeled A, B, and C. A sample of each standard was spotted on the analytical TLC plate approximately 1cm from the bottom of the plate. It was then enclosed in a jar filled with 2ml of 95% ethyl acetate- 5% acetic acid.…

    The purpose of this experiment was to determine the presence of the analgesic compounds acetaminophen, aspirin, caffeine, and salicylamide in the over-the-counter medications Anacin, Bufferin, Excedrin, and Tylenol. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was used to analyze solutions of the medications; the TLC plates were visualized using ultraviolet light and iodine staining. The ten micropipets used to spot the TLC plates were made from glass capillary tubes by heating the middle of each tube in a Bunsen burner flame, pulling the ends of the tube away from each other so that the middle was stretched into a thinner tube, and breaking the cooled capillary in the middle to form two micropipets. Two silica-gel TLC plates were spotted with solutions…
