Quantitation of Pluronics by High Performance Liquid Chromatography and Corona Charged Aerosol Detection
Marc Plante, Bruce Bailey, and Ian N. Acworth, Thermo Fisher Scientific
Pluronics, like other surfactants, are challenging to analyze as each consists of a complex mixture of structurally similar analytes. They cannot be measured by UV because of the lack of a chromophore. Now, pluronics can be quantified as a single analytical peak in both standards and OTC products using charged aerosol detection.

Generic Method Approach for Pharmaceutical Drug Discovery and Development Using Reversed-Phase Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography with Universal Charged Aerosol Detection
Frank Steiner, Michael Heidorn, and Markus M. Martin, Thermo Fisher Scientific
This generic method addresses the need to make changes during the drug development life cycle and is applicable to each new drug formulation. Using gradient reversed-phase LC in the first stage and HILIC in the second stage, both hydrophilic and hydrophobic compounds are separated in a single, short run.

Advantages of High-Resolution Separation Media for Monoclonal Antibody Analysis
Srinivasa Rao, Yuanxue Hou, Hongmin Zhang, Ilze Birznieks, Gurmil Gendeh, Yury Agroskin, and Chris Pohl, Thermo Fisher Scientific
QC and stability assessment of MAbs are very important. This work describes the benefits of applying high-resolution IEX columns with 3 μm and 5 μm particles and a bioUHPLC system to get high-efficiency MAb and protein separations.

Determination of Olive Oil Adulteration by Principal Component Analysis with HPLC–Charged Aerosol Detector Data
Marc Plante, Bruce Bailey, and Ian N. Acworth, Thermo Fisher Scientific
A simple “dilute and shoot” HPLC-charged aerosol detection method combined with principal component analysis easily determines authentic from adulterated extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) samples. An approach to measure EVOO quality is also provided.

Quantitation and Characterization of Copper Plating Bath Additives by Liquid Chromatography with Charged Aerosol Detection
Marc Plante, Bruce Bailey, and Ian N. Acworth, Thermo Fisher Scientific
Copper plating bath additives are fully characterized using two flexible, simultaneous HPLC methods. The accelerator and suppressor are measured using charged aerosol detection; while the accelerator and leveller are measured using electrochemical detection.

Determination of Polyacrylic Acid in Boiler Water Using Size-Exclusion Chromatography with Charged Aerosol Detection
Mark Tracy, Xiaodong Liu, Ian Acworth, and Bruce Bailey, Thermo Fisher Scientific
Scale formation limits boiler efficiency and can cause major damage. It can be prevented through anti-scalants such as polyacrylic acid and needs to be measured for both process control and wastewater discharge. A sensitive and direct method can quantify low levels of PAA and resolve it from other low-molecular weight components through SEC-charged aerosol detection.
