Seven Common Faux Pas in Modern HPLC
Seven outdated traditional practices are presented that should not be performed without considering alternative approaches that can improve results, provide lower operational costs, or give faster run times. Some may appear controversial but can yield significant benefits and simplification if applied properly. Instead of working harder, analytical scientists should work smarter.
Screening of Synthetic Adulterants in Herbal and Dietary Supplements
In recent years, there has been a tremendous increase in the use of natural products in the form of herbal supplements for health benefits and therapeutic effects. Unfortunately, this rise in usage has also led to the increased chance of products being adulterated with synthetic compounds. This has raised global concerns within the natural products community and with various regulatory authorities since it poses a significant risk to consumers.
Here, we demonstrate how to automatically detect the existence of synthetics in a commercial herbal supplement product. The product used was a herbal capsule, sold by street vendors to alleviate back and joint pain. We were able to confirm the identified adulterants through an easy review process to quickly draw a conclusion. Learn more
