Top Story: Current Practices and Considerations for a Stability-Indicating Method in Pharmaceutical Analysis
The demonstration of drug substance (DS) or drug product (DP) stability over the shelf life is a regulatory requirement in the pharmaceutical industry. To fulfill this requirement, a stability-indicating method (SIM) must be developed and validated to separate and quantify both the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and its related compounds (process impurities and degradation products).
Fast, Reliable Glycan Mapping
New Agilent AdvanceBio Glycan Mapping columns obtain high-resolution, reliable glycan maps in LESS THAN 10 MINUTES with 1.8 µm particles. 2.7 µm particles offer high resolution with lower backpressure, 1.8 µm for highest UHPLC resolution. Each batch of media is QA tested with a glycan sample to ensure consistent quality and robust performance. Glycan standards are available for performance testing and retention mapping. Learn More

Determination of Corrosion Inhibitor–Lubricity Improver in Jet Fuels by Liquid Chromatography–Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry
Military jet fuel is very similar to commercial jet fuel except for the presence of three additives. Of particular interest is the CI-LI additive; the most common active ingredient is a dimer of linoleic acid. This article focuses on quantification of the active ingredient in the CI-LI additive by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS), to allow the determination of CI-LI content in military jet fuel samples.
