Analysis of Brominated Flame Retardants by GCxGC-TOFMS
16 Dec 2008: Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are persistent environmental contaminants that are being extensively studied by environmental researchers worldwide. Their potential for toxicological impacts on humans and wildlife has made these contaminants a focal point of regulatory agencies worldwide. The ChromaTOF software allows the ability to generate highly structured two-dimensional chromatograms with classification regions defining the specific congener types.

Evaluating Separations of PEGylated Proteins using Gel Filtration Chromatography
02 Dec 2008: The use of polyethylene glycols (PEG) is widespread in the pharmaceutical industry as a method to improve the pharmacokinetic qualities of protein and peptide therapeutics. However, such modifications also increase the heterogeneity of protein structures and generate difficulties in purifying such modified species away from the native protein. This application note describes the evaluation of using gel filtration as a method for purifying PEGylated proteins.
