Applications Of Ion Chromatography For Pharmaceutical And Biological Products

Academic researchers in biological fields and researchers with public agencies are joined by scientists from drug and electronic equipment companies to explore the current use of the imaging technology in pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, emphasizing methods that have been developed and validated over the past two decades. After reviewing the principles, mechanism, and instrumentation, they look in turn at applications in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and vaccines. The topics include a new perspective on retention processes in ion-exclusion chromatography, the ion chromatography analysis of aminoglycoside antibiotics, analyzing pharmaceuticals for authenticity and adulteration, two-dimensional ion chromatography for simultaneously determining amino acids and carbohydrates, and analyzing biological products.
