Model: CAMAG, Switzerland

  • One of the most flexible, reliable, and cost-efficient separation technique ideally suited for the analysis of botanicals and herbal drugs.
  • High sample throughput since several samples can be chromatographed simultaneously can be coupled with LC-MS.

An ideal screening tool for detection of adulterations, evaluation and monitoring of cultivation, harvesting, and extraction processes and testing of stability. Used in analysing the purity and efficacy of pharmaceutical preparations and dosage forms. It is a globally accepted practical solution to characterize small molecules in quality assessment. It is used for purity control of chemicals, pesticides, steroids, and water analysis. It is also widely used for analysis of vitamins, water-soluble food dyes, pesticides in fruits, vegetables, and other food stuffs.
