Gas chromatography

HPLC column can be categorized into two types • Reverse Phase • Normal Phase 3.4.1.1. Reverse Phase Chromatography Reverse Phase system has a non-polar stationary phase over which polar solvents are used as mobile phase; it is generally used for separation of polar species. 3.4.1.2. Normal phase chromatography Normal Phase system has a polar stationary phase over which non-polar solvents are used as mobile phase; it is generally used for separation of non-polar species.[38]. A detection…

Emulsions are two-phase systems, a mixture of two or more liquids that are normally immiscible. There are two phases in the system, in which one is the continuous phase and the other one is the dispersed phase. Types of emulsions [38] Oil in water (o/w): in which oil is the dispersed phase and water is the continuous phase. Water in oil (w/o): in which water is the dispersed phase and oil is the continuous phase. Emulsions have a cloudy or opaque appearance because particles scatter light…

Transformation of pGlO plasmid to an E.coli bacteria cell We pipetted 250 ul of CaCl2 transformation solution to into two separate tubes. Next, we used a sterile loop to transfer two to four larger bacteria colonies from an E.coli plate into each of the two tubes. The bacteria was observed under UV light to make initial observations. We pipetted 10 ul of pGLO plasmid (0.08 ug/ul) into one of the tubes. Both tubes were incubated on ice for ten minutes. After ten minutes of incubation, the tubes…

Introduction: LC-MS is used for the bioanalysis of small molecules drugs, which has molecular mass of less than 800 Da. Now a days, it is also frequently used for the bioanalytical determination of biopharmaceuticals.1 In pharmaceutical R & D, it takes a year to develop a new marketing drug identified from thousands of new compounds. The drug discovery is divided into early and late phase, during which pharmacokinetics study or bioanalysis of a drug is done. Once, the bioanalysis of a drug is…

EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS The present study was undertaken to formulate Solifenacin succinate immediate release tablets. The study involves preformulation studies of drug excipients, formulation and processing development along with evaluation of tablets made with the optimized formulation. Finally tablets were evaluated by in-vitro methods. 6.1. Drug excipient compatibility study Table 1. Results of compatibility study S.No. Name of Excipient Ratio of API/ Excipient Initial…

Stereochemistry conformation is how molecules are orientated in space. There are two basic types of isomers: constitutional or stereoisomers. Constitutional isomers gave the same molecular formula but different connectivity, while stereoisomers have the same connectivity but a different orientation in space. Stereoisomer has two subunits called enantiomers and diastereomers. Enantiomers are molecules that are mirror images, while diastereomers are not mirror images. Stereochemistry focus…

3.3.9. Encapsulation efficiency of drug loaded NPs The encapsulation efficiency (EE) was determined by weighing the amount of unloaded drug recovered from lyophilization of the supernatant obtained after centrifugation of NPs. The drug encapsulation efficiency was calculated according to the following equation: Encapsulation efficiency (%) = (Winitial/Wfree)/Winitial *100%. Where, Winitial and Wfree are the weight of initial drug and the weight of free drug determined in the supernatant after…

STUDY DESIGN A randomized,…

Introduction Affinity Chromatography, also referred to as biospecific chromatography, is a technique of partitioning rooted in biological affinity (Dean). This practice capitalizes on complex interactions such as bond formation between enzymes and substrate, or more broadly: macromolecules and ligands. Purification is at the center of the use of affinity chromatography. In general, samples may be run through a gel that contains a corresponding component that binds with the sample at certain…
