7.2.2.3. Supercritical Fluid Chromatography:
Supercritical fluid means a gas or liquid at conditions above its critical point. A supercritical fluid has both the gaseous character of being able to penetrate anything, and the liquid aspect of being able to dissolve materials. Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) has been one of the greatest breakthroughs in analytical chemistry in recent times [129].The use of carbon dioxide in the form of a supercritical fluid offers a substitute to organic solvent as with super critical water chromatography. Using of pressurized carbon dioxide in the supercritical or subcritical state as a chromatographic eluent exhibits the advantage of possessing solvent properties similar to petrochemical-derived hydrocarbons,

9. Determination of clonazepam and its related substances in pharmaceutical formulations The use of tetrahydrofuran and methanol as a part of mobile phase and extraction procedure. HPLC with a mobile phase composed of 2% sodium dodecyl sulfate, 0.05 M sodium acetate buffer pH 3.5 and isopropanol in ratio (25:55:20). The use of an environmentally benign mobile phase without hazardous, toxic solvents, simple extraction procedures, relatively lower retention time, no internal standard required, rapid, accurate and precise.

Introduction: Enzymes are needed for survival in any living system and they control cellular reactions. Enzymes speed up chemical reactions by lowering the energy needed for molecules to begin reacting with each other. They do this by forming an enzyme-substrate complex that reduces energy that is required for a specific reaction to occur. Enzymes determine their functions by their shape and structure. Enzymes are made of amino acids, it 's made of anywhere from a hundred to a million amino acids, each they are bonded to other chemical bonds.
Introduction: Quetiapine Fumarate (QF) is a psychotropic agent indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia and manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder. QF possesses good solubility in aqueous fluids (1) and ethanol. Quetiapine is available in the market with the brand name of Seroquel XL (2). Inadvertent, rapid drug release in a small period of time of the entire amount or a significant fraction of the drug contained in a prolonged release dosage form is often referred to as “dose dumping”.

6. Rinse a 500 ml volumetric flask with deionized water. 7. Label the volumetric flask so you know which solution is in it. 8.
The effect of pH on the speed of enzyme interaction with substrate chemicals Hypothesis: About pH: If the pH level is less than 5, then the speed of the enzyme reaction will be slower. About temperature: If the temperature stays the same, then the speed of the enzyme reaction will not be completely affected. Background information: The function of enzymes is to speed up the biochemical reaction by lowering the activation energy, they do this by colliding with the substrate.
In the round-bottom flask (100 mL), we placed p-aminobenzoic acid (1.2 g) and ethanol (12 mL). We swirled the mixture until the solid dissolved completely. We used Pasteur pipet to add concentrated sulfuric acid (1.0 mL) to the flask. We added boiling stone and assembled the reflux. Then, we did reflux for 75 minutes.
In this lab, we tested 8 known ingredients to find what ingredients was in our unknown A and unknown B medications. We first tested the water solubility of our knowns and unknowns. We found that of the knowns, cornstarch and acetaminophen were the only ones not water soluble. The unknowns were also not water soluble. Th next test was the pH test.
If a better resolution is desired, reduce the velocity to not less than 50 cm/sec; however, the analysis time will be increased. If a shorter analysis time is desired, increase the velocity to 70-80 cm/sec; be aware of potential resolution losses at these higher linear velocities. Average linear velocities of 60-70 cm/sec are used for many analyses when using hydrogen as carrier gas. The choice of gas to be used as mobile phase in gas chromatography is influenced by the following requirements and considerations: Inertness, Dryness, Freedom from oxygen, Safety, Cost, and
The crude oil is heated in a tall cylinder called fractionator for at least 350 degC. The process is based on the principle that different substances boil at different temperature. The cyclohexane content of naphtha fraction of crude oil can vary from 0.5 to 5.0 volume %. N-hexane, isohexanes, methyl cyclopentane, benzene and dimethyl pentanes have normal boiling points very close to cyclohexane.1 Advantages: 1. Uses a simple method of cyclohexane recovery. Disadvantages: 1.
Again select the flask and select Distillation Head from the drop down menu. ➢ For the third time select the flask and choose Condenser from Distillation from the menu and for last time select the flask Distillation Take-off from the dropdown option. ➢ Select the 100 mL Graduated Cylinder from the Equipment option and put it underneath of distillation take-off.
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is the clinical practice of measuring specific drugs at timed intervals in order to maintain a relatively constant concentration in a patient's bloodstream, thereby optimizing individual dosage regimens. It is not necessary to use therapeutic drug monitoring for all the of medications, and it is used mainly for monitoring drugs with some narrow therapeutic ranges, drugs with marked variability in pharmacokinetic, medications with target concentrations which are difficult to monitor, and drugs that are known to cause therapeutic and adverse effects. The process of therapeutic drug monitoring is based on the assumption that there is a specific relationship between dose and plasma or blood drug concentration, and between concentration and therapeutic effects.

Experiment #7: Column Chromatography of Food Dye Arianne Jan D. Tuozo Mr. Carlos Edward B. Santos October 12, 2015 Abstract Column chromatography is the separation of mixture’s components through a column. Before proceeding with the column chromatography itself, a proper solvent system must be chosen among the different solvents. The green colored food dye is the mixture whose components are separated.
The developing solution was poured into a tank and was tightly covered with a glass lid, and the tank was allowed to be saturated to ensure that the solution was equilibrated in the gas phase. Silica plate for TLC analysis: A horizontal line was drawn with a pencil on the plate and it was about 1 cm above the bottom of the plate. The horizontal line was drawn faintly so as to avoid damaging the silica gel on the plate. On the horizontal line, two marks were made and one was named A and the other B. These marks were made towards the centre of the plate at a distance apart because when spots are made at the edge of a plate, the result would be an improper travel of the samples as the solvent advances on the plate.
The instrument used to perform gas chromatography is called a gas chromatograph. 2. Analysis of compounds in alcoholic beverages Alcoholic beverages comprise of a wide range of volatile compounds, together with alcohols and short chain aldehydes. Gas chromatography can be used to analyse these compounds without preliminary extractions. Alcohols and aldehydes in alcoholic beverages can be monitored by capillary G.C or packed column G.C depending on target analytes and their concentrations since capillary columns offer efficient separations, capillary G.C is particularly beneficial in analysis of structurally similar compounds.
Materials Required: 1. Pellets of Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) 2. Phenolphthalein solution (1%) 3. Potassium acid phthalate (KHC8H4O4) 4. Graduated cylinder - 10 mL 5.
After gathering all of the materials, the experiment can begin. Prepare the distillation set-up similarly to Figure 1[2] and make sure that all of the appropriate areas are secured together with masking tape. In the 250mL round bottom distillation flask, carefully pour in 25mL of the alcoholic bevarage and place in one or two pieces of boiling chips. Now, the students have the option of dyeing the beverage with a tiny drop of food coloring.
