Shimadzu Offers Application Notes For Ultra Fast Liquid Chromatography Research For Pharmaceutical, Food & Beverage, Forensics, And More Available Online

Columbia, MD — Shimadzu Scientific Instruments (SSI) has released a variety of application notes for the Prominence Ultra Fast Liquid Chromatograph (UFLC), including notes on xanthine derivatives and triarylmethane ink dyes, soft drinks, and urine analysis — available for download at www.ssi.shimadzu.com/fast.

"High-Speed Analysis of Xanthine Derivatives and Triarylmethane Ink Dyes with Ultra Fast HPLC" details the analysis, retention time and peak area reproducibility using the Prominence UFLC. Research found Shim-pack XR-ODS high-speed columns result in considerably shorter analytical cycle times with systems comprised of conventional hardware, while maintaining high separation efficiency and reproducibility performance.

Due to the growing demand for alternatives to high-sugar-content soft drinks, Shimadzu researched "Fast Analysis of Soft Drinks." UFLC is a valuable tool for increasing sample throughput for high-volume applications, such as the beverage industry.

Shimadzu also researched the fast and efficient separation of drugs in urine with UFLC, in combination with the LCMS-2010EV Mass Spectrometer. "Fast Analysis of Drugs in Urine" resulted in an analytical cycle time of 5.5 minutes, including column equilibration time.

UFLC application notes for other markets and additional information are available at www.ssi.shimadzu.com/fast.
