Detection and Identification of Natural Antioxidants in Edible Oils Using LC Fractionation with Off-Line Effect-Based Detection
Many edible oils contain natural antioxidants that protect the oil from lipid oxidation, Knowledge on the identity of these oxidation inhibitors is crucial to find natural ways to protect healthy, unsaturated fats and oils from turning rancid. This article describes a new assay that allows rapid quantification of the lipid oxidation inhibting potenital of pure compounds or liquid chromatography (LC) fractions.

Capillary IC—Always Ready, Better Results
Capillary IC takes performance and ease-of-use to a whole new level, simplifying ion chromatography analyses while increasing throughput. By scaling down column size, injection volumes, and flow rates by a factor of 10 to 100, Capillary IC provides excellent eluent and waste economy, small sample requirements, and high mass sensitivity. The Thermo Scientific™ Dionex™ ICS-4000 HPIC™ system is a single channel compact, integrated capillary IC with modular detector options designed to meet the high resolution and fast analysis needs of any laboratory.

Editors' Series: HILIC: A Critical Evaluation
On Demand
In this web seminar, the possibilities and limitations of HILIC using columns packed with sub-2-µm fully porous particles and sub-3-µm core-shell particles will be discussed. The emphasis will be on kinetic performance, generic method development, the applicability of HILIC to a wide range of compounds (including polar compounds, ionizable compounds, and peptides) and a comparison of performance with reversed-phase LC. In addition, the critical impact of dissolution solvent in HILIC will be discussed and some problems related to pH control in highly organic mobile phase or long equilibrating time will be discussed.
