High Performance Liquid Chromatography

High performance liquid chromatography

(HPLC)

In general, the chromatographic

techniques are time taking and slow. Therefore, the separation of interest can be improved by using high pressure in the range of 5,000-10,000 psi(pounds per square inch), so this technique is commonly known as high pressure liquid chromatography.

This tecnique requires the use of non-compressible resin materials and strong metal columns. At last the eluants of the column are detected by using methods such as fluorescence and UV absorption.

High liquid chromatography is commonly used for the detection and estimation of

vitamins (e.g. vitamin A, calcitriol, etc.), drugs (e.g. phenytoin, phenobarbitones, LSD, AZT, etc.) hormones (e.g. epinephrine, norepinephrine, ACTH, etc.), and metabolites (e.g. metanephrines) in clinical laboratories

What are Enzymes and it's types.

Enzymes are proteins produced by the living cells, which are capable of catalyzing a chemical reaction in a living organism to yield specific product, without getting used up. • They never initiate any reaction rather only accelerates the pre-cxisting reaction. • Enzymes are biological catalysts. Catalyst These are the agents, which in minute amounts increase the velocity of a reaction without appearing in the final product of the reaction. Substrate The compound on which an enzyme acts is called its substrate. Nomenclature Names of enzymes usually end in "ase" which is preceded by the name of its substrate.

What is Chromatography and its types

The word ‘chromatography’ is derived from Greek word ‘Chromo’ meaning colour and ‘graphy’ meaning to measure; initially it was used to separate coloured compounds from the mixture. In another words It is an analytical technique used for the separation of closely related compounds from a mixture. These compounds are proteins, peptides, lipids ,amino acids, carbohydrates, vitamins and drugs. Chromatography was discovered by Russian Botanist Tswest in 1903. He used it for separation of plant pigments for the first time. The early methods used for the separation and purification of compounds from mixtures were labourious, and s s low. With passage of time and advancement in the separation techniques over years, the chromatographic technique has become to be known as used for the separation of different compounds from mixture and for their identification. Principle of Chromatography Chromatography is usually consists of two phases first a mobile phase and secondary i...

Difference between RNA and DNA

Easy and short Difference between RNA and DNA is Here RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) • RNA is a single stranded structure. It is Present mainly in cytoplasm but some in the nucleus. RNA Contains purines (Adenine and Guanine) And Pyrimidines (Cytosine and Uracil). It Contains Ribose(Sugar) and phosphoric acid. DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) DNA is a double stranded helical structure. It is Present mainly in the nucleus but some in the cytoplasm. it is Contains purines (Adenine and Guanine). And pyrimidines (Cytosine and Thymine). It Contains DeoxyRibose (Sugar) and phosphoric acid.
