This Application Note presents an update to the standard AOAC method for total GOS determination in foodstuffs.

This application shows how EIS, combined with INTELLO and NOVA, tracks changes in internal battery resistance across SOC levels to study performance and aging mechanisms.

Potassium citrate and citric acid oral solutions act as systemic alkalizers. Potassium assays, validated per USP <621> and <1225>, use IC with L76 cation-exchange columns.

The assay of calcium acetate, often used as a phosphate binder for dialysis patients, can be performed with ion chromatography (IC) as per USP <621> and <1225>.

Compounded injections of sodium bicarbonate are sterile solutions for correcting metabolic acidosis and other conditions requiring systemic alkalinization. Compounded injections of sodium phosphates serve as a phosphate source to either prevent or correct hypophosphatemia in patients with restricted oral intake. Ion chromatography (IC) with suppressed conductivity detection is the standardized way to accurately quantify sodium in these solutions.

Alamar Blue is monitored with fluorescence spectroelectrochemistry during its irreversible reduction to resorufin and further reversible reduction to dihydroresorufin.

In recent years, there has been a significant push to reduce the environmental impacts of fuels through improvements to fuel quality. The determination of key quality parameters of gasoline, namely research octane number (RON, ASTM D2699-19), motor octane number (MON, ASTM D2700-19), anti knock index (AKI), aromatic content (ASTM D5769-15), and density, conventionally requires several different analytical methods, which are laborious and need trained personnel. This application note demonstrates that the XDS RapidLiquid Analyzer, operating in the visible and near-infrared spectral region (Vis-NIR), provides a cost-efficient and fast solution for the multiparameter analysis of gasoline.

Dental care products often contain sodium fluoride as an active ingredient. Manufacturers use the United States Pharmacopeia and National Formulary (USP-NF) Monograph «Sodium Fluoride» to quantify sodium fluoride and its anionic contaminants chloride and acetate in these products. The validated USP method proposes ion chromatography (IC) with suppressed conductivity detection to carry out the fluoride assay as well as the impurity determination in a single chromatogram.

Sodium fluoride gel for pharmaceutical use needs to comply with USP requirements. The actual monograph (USP 42) uses two different methods for the identification and the assay. Ion chromatography allows the analysis of these two parameters in one single determination. In the course of the USP monograph modernization, this ion chromatographic approach makes this type of analysis even easier.

Sodium fluoride tablets for pharmaceutical use need to comply with U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) requirements. Ion chromatography (IC) with suppressed conductivity detection has been approved by the USP as a validated method to quantify fluoride content in sodium fluoride tablets. In the course of the USP monograph modernization, using automated IC makes this type of analysis even easier.

Ion chromatography (IC) with suppressed conductivity detection has been approved by the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) as a validated method to quantify the monofluorophosphate (MFP) content in sodium monofluorophosphate. This Application Note shows that all acceptance criteria for the USP Monograph «Sodium Monofluorophosphate» are fulfilled and the procedure was approved as a validated USP method.

As an alternative to titration, ion chromatography (IC) with suppressed conductivity detection has been approved by USP as validated method to quantify chloride content in NaCl tablets for solution or oral use.

Anticavity pharmaceuticals like sodium fluoride and acidulated phosphate topical solution products require strict quality control. This Application Note outlines the fluoride IC assay as described in the USP Monograph Sodium Fluoride and Acidulated Phosphate Topical Solution.

N-Methylpyrrolidone (NMP) is crucial for lithium-ion battery production. Metrohm’s intelligent Preconcentration Technique with Matrix Elimination enables µg/L-level anion analysis in NMP.
