This instrument is the culmination of <strong>Pickering</strong>Labora<strong>to</strong>ries’ 30 years of experience in post-column analysis instrument manufacturing. Each component is specicallydesigned <strong>to</strong> optimize the sensitivity and selectivity of post-column analysis.Only <strong>Pickering</strong> Labora<strong>to</strong>ries offers the complete package of chemicals, columns, methods and post-column systems.Because each part of the method is designed <strong>to</strong> work <strong>to</strong>gether, <strong>Pickering</strong> Labora<strong>to</strong>ries can offer the extraordinarypromise that the analysis is guaranteed <strong>to</strong> work for the intended application.The Pinnacle PCX reects the ease of use, reliability and ruggedness you have come <strong>to</strong> expect from<strong>Pickering</strong> Labora<strong>to</strong>ries.07SYSTEM DESIGN ADVANCEMENTS RESULT IN OPTIMIZED ANALYSIS:• The electronic syringe pump provides true pulse-free flow for superior sensitivity and consistency. The pumpcylinder and head is made from a single piece of inert ceramic for durability and non-reactivity.• Electronic valves eliminate troublesome check valves and allow au<strong>to</strong>mated pump flushing.• The quick-change reac<strong>to</strong>r cartridge makes application switching easy and replacements quick and inexpensive.• The column oven utilizes circulating air for consistency of heating and quick cooling.• Inert flow path extends system life and reduces maintenance.• The PCX control software allows for precise control of the reagent delivery and conservation.• Column oven temperature gradient programming improves separation and run times. Pinnacle PCX is the onlypost-column system with this feature.• Works with any HPLC system.• RoHS compliantPRODUCT CATALOGPICKERING LABORATORIES10/11


INSTRUMENTS & HARDWAREFEATURE HIGHLIGHTThe Pinnacle PCX has a column oven capable of programmable temperature gradients. This feature is useful in AminoAcid Analysis by enabling additional exibility when optimizing methods. Using the temperature gradient program allowsfor improved separation, shortened analysis time and ne-tuned methods for specic compound detection.The Chroma<strong>to</strong>gram in Figure 1 demonstrates some of the clear advantages of the temperature gradient program. Compared<strong>to</strong> the standard method without the temperature gradient the <strong>to</strong>tal run time is 42 % shorter. Additionally, separationis improved.With the temperature gradient program, you are able <strong>to</strong> focus on different areas of the chroma<strong>to</strong>gram for y<strong>our</strong> speciccompound of interest.124457 8 111092023151716o1870 C21o65 C241925223045363537393840FIGURE 1High-efficiency Lithiumfor Physiological samplesusing temperaturegradient26 2728 2931332344334 oC461214:313341420 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 min1 Phosphoserine2 Taurine3 Phosphoethanolamine4 Urea5 Aspartic acid6 Hydroxyproline7 Threonine8 Serine9 Asparagine10 Glutamic acid11 Glutamine12 Sarcosine13 -Aminoadipic acid14 Proline15 Glycine16 Alanine17 Citrulline18 -Amino-n-butyric acid19 Valine20 Cystine21 Methionine22 Allo-Isoleucine23 Cystathionine*Internal Standard24 Isoleucine25 Leucine26 Tyrosine27 Phenylalanine28 -Alanine29 -Amino-i-butyric acid30 Homocystine31 -Aminobutyric acid32 Tryp<strong>to</strong>phan33 Ethanolamine34 Ammonia35 Hydroxylysines36 Ornitine37 Lysine38 1-Methylhistidine39 Histidine40 3-Methylhistidine41 Anserine42 Carnosine43 Arginine44 Glucosaminic Acid*45 2-Aminoethyl-cysteine (AEC)*PINNACLE PCX SPECIFICATIONS• Dimensions: (h x w x d): 54 x 26.7 x 46.4 cm(21.25 x 10.5 x 18.25 inches)• Weight: 60 lbs (27.2 Kg) – Duplex• Electrical: 100-120 V, 50/60 Hz, 1.7 A, 200 W or 200-240 V,50/60 Hz, 0.8 A, 200 W• Mains voltage ± 10 % of nominal• Installation (over voltage) category II, pollution degree 2• Indoor use only• Environmental: Altitude up <strong>to</strong> 6500 ft• Ambient Temperature 15 °- 25 °C• Relative humidity up <strong>to</strong> 80 % at 31 °CREAGENT PUMPS• True pulse-free syringe pump• Single piece ceramic barrel• Completely inert flow path• Maximum operating pressure 500 psi• Programmable flow rate

CHROMATOGRAMS, COLUMNS & GUARDS<strong>Pickering</strong> Labora<strong>to</strong>ries columns and guards are intended for specic applications that require post-column derivatization.This technology guarantees detection of certain classes of compounds at very low concentrations—amino acids, carbamatepesticides and polyamines, for example.Each column is packed and tested <strong>to</strong> separate the target compounds according <strong>to</strong> <strong>Pickering</strong>’s chroma<strong>to</strong>graphic qualitycontrol standards and published analytical method. The following acceptance criteria apply <strong>to</strong> all of <strong>Pickering</strong>’s columns:• With guard column installed, produce a specied chroma<strong>to</strong>gramof the compounds in a standard test mixture.• Separate the compounds in the established order, with specied resolution of critical pairs.• Operate within the specied range of back pressure.• Be free of contaminating material which can cause baseline artifacts.Only after all criteria have been met can the column’s serial number and label be applied.Quite simply, the column is guaranteed <strong>to</strong> produce a chroma<strong>to</strong>gram for its intended application if it is operated according<strong>to</strong> the conditions and methods prescribed by <strong>Pickering</strong> Labora<strong>to</strong>ries.About Guard ColumnsWhile it is true that any of <strong>our</strong> columns may be run without a guard, thepractical consequence is a shorter column lifetime. Guard columns provideprotection against contamination without affecting column efciency. It isfar less expensive <strong>to</strong> replace or repack a guard than an analytical column.15PRODUCT CATALOGPICKERING LABORATORIES10/11

CHROMATOGRAMS, COLUMNS & GUARDSCATION-EXCHANGE GARD COLUMN PROTECTION SYSTEMThe new GARD uses a proprietary material <strong>to</strong> prevent matrix compounds from passing through (and thereby protecting theanalytical column), but allows the analytes of interest <strong>to</strong> pass unimpeded through the GARD and on<strong>to</strong> the analytical column.The new GARD signicantly prolongs column life without band spreading or added pressure. We demonstrated, bymeans of a performance comparison for Amino Acid Analysis, that the use of a GARD will effectively protect the analyticalcolumn, will be more cost-effective for the labora<strong>to</strong>ry, is easy <strong>to</strong> change, is universal <strong>to</strong> cation-exchange applications,and most importantly has zero band spreading.Wth the new GARD Column protection system from <strong>Pickering</strong> Labora<strong>to</strong>ries the same cation-exchange GARD can beused for nearly all cation-exchange applications.LITHIUM AMINO ACID ANALYSIS COLUMNS<strong>Pickering</strong> Labora<strong>to</strong>ries specialize in manufacturing of cation-exchange columns for amino acid analysis. No other techniques,including reversed-phase chroma<strong>to</strong>graphy, have been shown <strong>to</strong> match post-column ion-exchange methods in quantitationand reproducibility. Advantages of this method, such as absence of matrix interferences, are especially important inanalysis of native samples.Lithium columns and buffers systems have high selectivity and are perfect for physiological uids and food analysis.Post-column Conditions For Amino Acids Analysis:Reagent: Trione®Reac<strong>to</strong>r: 130 °C, 0.5 mLReagent Flow Rate: 0.3 mL/minDetection:UV-Vis Detec<strong>to</strong>r: =570 nm for primary amino acids=440 nm for secondary amino acidsorReagent: 300 mg of OPA, 2 g Thiouor, 3 mL of 30 %Brij® 35 solution in 950 mL of OD104Reac<strong>to</strong>r: 45 °C, 0.15 mLReagent Flow Rate: 0.3 mL/minDetection:Fluorometer: ex330 nm, em465 nmThe recommended gradient conditions are subject <strong>to</strong>change without notice. This may happen because of lotchanges in the columns, or improvements in the overallmethod.The recommended gradient for the column will alwaysbe included in the column package, and it supersedes theinformation in this catalog.<strong>Pickering</strong> Labora<strong>to</strong>ries recommends six different gradientconditions depending on the column and type of sample.Use the program recommended on the column data sheetfor the initial testing.The column oven temperature programming gives additionalexibility when optimizing methods. Using temperaturegradient allows <strong>to</strong> improve separation, shorten analysis timeand ne-tune the method for detecting compoundsof interest.

“THE LCTECH STORY”<strong>Pickering</strong> Labora<strong>to</strong>ries’ Partner in GermanyMICHAEL V. PICKERING, PH.D. / FOUNDERWith the onset of a new decade, <strong>Pickering</strong> Labora<strong>to</strong>ries is embarking on a major expansion of <strong>our</strong> product offerings:the core of which are GPC Sample clean-up instruments and Myco<strong>to</strong>xin analysis products. These products areoutstanding in performance, ruggedness, and value. Better yet, they come from LCTech, a company we know verywell and have grown in business with.I chose <strong>to</strong> start this business and develop gradient Amino Acid Analysis using modern HPLC equipment back in1984. Nine years later, about the same time <strong>Pickering</strong> Labs decided <strong>to</strong> begin selling internationally, Michael Baumannleft Beckman Instruments in Germany <strong>to</strong> start LCTech GmbH and <strong>our</strong> synergistic relationship began.LCTech, now <strong>our</strong> exclusive European distribu<strong>to</strong>r, went on <strong>to</strong> develop GPC sample clean-up instruments as well asImmunoafnity products, primarily clean-up columns and Elisa kits for Myco<strong>to</strong>xins. LCTech GmbH has had remarkablesuccess internationally, due in no small part <strong>to</strong> the fact that their products have the same chemistry, integrity, andfocus on cus<strong>to</strong>mer needs that also characterize the <strong>Pickering</strong> Labora<strong>to</strong>ries products. So when we decided <strong>to</strong> broadenthe <strong>Pickering</strong> Labora<strong>to</strong>ries product line, it was an easy choice <strong>to</strong> partner with LCTech and become their exclusivedistribu<strong>to</strong>r in the United States and Canada.Since <strong>our</strong> introduction of LCTech products, we have found that <strong>our</strong> cus<strong>to</strong>mers are realizing the quality of these productsand have become <strong>our</strong> best testimonials of performance and reliability, not <strong>to</strong> mention the improvement in theirday-<strong>to</strong>-day workloads.The future of <strong>Pickering</strong> Labora<strong>to</strong>ries looks promising and we are proud <strong>to</strong> say that, along with <strong>Pickering</strong> products,LCTech products are worthy of <strong>our</strong> esteemed ‘Guaranteed Chemistry’ pledge.


LCTECH / GPC PRODUCT LINEGPC ULTRAAUTOMATED GPC SAMPLE CLEAN-UPGel permeation chroma<strong>to</strong>graphy is a well-known technology for the removal of fats, proteins, and other large bio-moleculesfrom samples in order <strong>to</strong> prevent interference in the analysis of chlorinated & organo-phosphorous pesticides, PCBs,polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), and other semi-volatile compounds.The GPC ULTRA au<strong>to</strong>mates Gel Permeation Chroma<strong>to</strong>graphy (GPC) technology and sample concentration for theclean-up of complex animal tissues, food products, environmental, and many other types of samples. The high recoveriesand concentrated samples are easily analyzed by GC-ECD, GC-MS, LC-MS, etc.Ideally suited for high-throughput labora<strong>to</strong>ries requiring reliability and reproducibility, the GPC ULTRA is optimized forunattended operation, low maintenance, and consistent recoveries.73FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS• Gel Permeation Chroma<strong>to</strong>graphy With Au<strong>to</strong>mated Concentration• Au<strong>to</strong>mated Rinsing Eliminates Carry-Over Contamination• Au<strong>to</strong>matically Cleans Up To 52 Samples Per Batch• Reproducible High Recoveries• Variety Of Collection And Sample Vial Options• Keypad Or PC Control• Sealed Sample VialsPOPULAR APPLICATIONS INCLUDE• Pesticides And Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) – EN 1528, EPA 8082a• Pesticide Residues – EN 12393, DFG 519• Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) – EPA 8310• Organochlorine Pesticide Residues – AOAC 984.21• Phthalates – EPA 8270c• Gel Permeation Clean-up – EPA 3640a• …And Many More, Including USGS And USDA MethodsPRODUCT CATALOGPICKERING LABORATORIES10/11

Therefore both <strong>to</strong>xintypes are found <strong>to</strong>gether in many foods and animal feeds,e.g. cereals. Thus it is appropriate <strong>to</strong> analyze one extractfor the occurrence of both myco<strong>to</strong>xins in a single step.Of signicant assistance is the clean-up of extracts by a combinedimmunoafnity column for both myco<strong>to</strong>xin types inone step. The subsequent analysis may then be performed byHPLC with post-column derivatization or other techniques.SIMULTANEOUS CLEAN-UP OFAFLATOXINS AND OCHRATOXIN AThe combination sample clean-up column Aa-OtaCLEANfrom LCTech is very <strong>to</strong>lerant <strong>to</strong>wards many matrices andallows for a comprehensive clean-up of the aa<strong>to</strong>xins B1,B2, G1 and G2 as well as Ochra<strong>to</strong>xin A.

METHOD ABSTRACTS110 / AFLATOXINSTOXINS IN PEANUTS, VEGETABLE MATTER, AND MILKAa<strong>to</strong>xins occur naturally in peanuts, peanut meal, cot<strong>to</strong>nseed meal, corn, dried chili pepper, etc. However, the growthof mold does not always indicate the presence of <strong>to</strong>xin since the yield of Aa<strong>to</strong>xins is dependent on growth conditionssuch as moisture, temperature, and aeration. The Aa<strong>to</strong>xins are characterized as B for blue uorescence and G for greenuorescence. The numerical subscripts indicate relative chroma<strong>to</strong>graphic mobility. Besides the <strong>to</strong>xins commonly found invegetable matter (B1, B2, G1, and G2), Aa<strong>to</strong>xins M (for milk) are found in milk of cows fed <strong>to</strong>xic meals. The highly <strong>to</strong>xicM metabolites are 4-hydroxylated Bs.The most important feature of the post-column method described here is that all f<strong>our</strong> Aa<strong>to</strong>xins are detectable at the sameuorescence emission wavelength in a single run.

Also, when infectedgrains are processed, any visible mold is lost but the <strong>to</strong>xic metabolites carry over in<strong>to</strong> the nished products. Thus, multi-residueanalytical screens for <strong>to</strong>xins in grain and nished goods are a wiser choice than single-family pro<strong>to</strong>cols. We present a singlescreen <strong>to</strong> cover ve families of <strong>to</strong>xins. This method is suitable for analyzing beverages, grains and feeds.Sample Extraction and Clean-up25 g of nely grounded sample is extracted with 150 mL of water/Methanol mixture (30/70). 20 mL of ltered extractis diluted with 70 mL of Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS).

MetTyrPheLeu + IleMETHOD ABSTRACTS107 / PKU AND MSUDSCREENING FOR PHENYLKETONURIA AND MAPLE SYRUP URINE DISEASEPhenylke<strong>to</strong>nuria (PKU) and Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD, branched-chain ke<strong>to</strong>aciduria) are genetically transmittedmetabolic diseases. PKU results in elevated Phenylalanine levels due <strong>to</strong> decient activity of the enzyme Phenylalaninehydroxylase. In the MSUD state, elevated levels of leucine (Leu), isoleucine (Ile), valine (Val), and alloiso-leucine can bedetected in blood. The increased concentration of the branched-chain amino acids is caused by an inherited decient activityof the enzyme branched-chain ke<strong>to</strong>-acid decarboxylase.Failure <strong>to</strong> diagnose and treat these conditions in newborns can result in severe mental retardation (PKU) or even death (MSUD).Dietary restriction of Val, Leu, and Ile for MSUD newborns must begin immediately once the diagnosis is made or suspected.MSUD patients must be moni<strong>to</strong>red on a regular schedule in conjunction with the dietary therapy because evenrelatively small changes in the intake of the branched-chain amino acids may produce rather large uctuations of their concentrationsin the plasma.

METHOD ABSTRACTS205 / AMINOGLYCOSIDE ANTIBIOTICS IN FEEDAPRAMYCIN, GENTAMICIN, NEOMYCINAminoglycoside antibiotics are among those commonly used in animal feeds <strong>to</strong> manage intestinal microorganisms. Thebenecial effects include improved growth and generally healthier animal populations. Use of antibiotics creates a demandfor analytical procedures <strong>to</strong> verify concentrations in pre-mixes and feeds and in some instances for residue analysis in animalproducts.This note describes a simple, robust analytical method for the family of Aminoglycoside antibiotics in feeds and animalproducts. The sample is homogenized with a generic extraction solution and the crude soluble portion is directly injectedin<strong>to</strong> an HPLC ion-exchange column. The column efuent is then mixed with an OPA/Thiouor reagent which formshighly uorescent derivatives with the primary amine moieties of the antibiotics.Call if you need <strong>to</strong> analyze other Aminoglycosides.Extraction Procedure:Take one part feed:10 parts Extraction solution (w/v)<strong>Catalog</strong> No. 1700-1118 and homogenize for ve minutes.Centrifuge for 10 minutes.

METHOD ABSTRACTS120 / BROMATE ANALYSISANALYSIS OF BROMATE IN DRINKING WATER BY HPLC AND POST-COLUMN DERIVATIZATIONBromate is a disinfection by-product that is formed when Ozone reacts with naturally occurring Bromide in drinkingwater. Bromate is a known animal carcinogen and has also been listed as a group 2B <strong>to</strong>xin: probable human carcinogen.The U.S.EPA Method 300.1 employs conductivity as the means of detection which works well for most anions. However,the method is non-specic and coeluting interferences cannot be identied. The more recent U.S.EPA Method 317.0utilizes a Bromate specic reagent in a post-column reaction. This allows for a very specic and sensitive assay forBromate in complex matrices.METHODEquipment• LC with a binary pump• UV/VIS detec<strong>to</strong>r• <strong>Pickering</strong> Labora<strong>to</strong>ries dual reagent PCX5200 Post-columnderivatization instrument• <strong>Pickering</strong> Labora<strong>to</strong>ries anion-exchange column, 4.6 x 150mm(Cat.

METHOD ABSTRACTS112 / EXPANDED HPLC METHOD FOR N-METHYL CARBAMATESPOST-COLUMN ANALYSIS OF PESTICIDES IN FOOD AND POTABLE WATER SAMPLESCarbamate pesticides are widely used around the world <strong>to</strong> protect crops. In addition, they are used as biocides for industrialor other applications and in household products. Though carbamates are biodegradable compounds and bioaccumulationusually happens only <strong>to</strong> a low extend it is important <strong>to</strong> moni<strong>to</strong>r produce <strong>to</strong> make sure enough time has elapsed betweenharvest and applying pesticides. Also, because of their high solubility, carbamates can leach in<strong>to</strong> ground waters in poroussoils and consequently nd their way in<strong>to</strong> drinking water supplies.As part of FDA’s pesticide moni<strong>to</strong>ring program individual lots of domestic and imported foods and feeds are sampled andtested for pesticide residues <strong>to</strong> enforce the <strong>to</strong>lerances set by EPA. There are 11 compounds mandated by USEPA Method531.2 for drinking water but they represent only a fraction of the carbamates that require moni<strong>to</strong>ring in domestic andimported products. Methyl carbamates are separated using a reversed-phase column and then readily react with o-Phthalaldehydeand a mercaptan after hydrolysis <strong>to</strong> form highly uorescence compounds. This post-column reaction is the basis forofcial EPA Method 531.2 and AOAC Method 985.23.This new expanded method is suitable for detecting a wide range of carbamates; post-column derivatization with uorescencedetection is a sensitive and selective method for residue analysis in water, food and feed samples. This methodemploys the same HPLC and post-column equipment and chemicals as USEPA Method 531.2 and will allow labora<strong>to</strong>ries<strong>to</strong> increase the range of tested compounds.The separation is achieved on a C 8stationary phase with a water/Methanol gradient. Differences in selectivity of a water/Ace<strong>to</strong>nitrile gradient may be used for conrmation.METHODAnalytical ConditionsColumn: Expanded resolution C 8analytical column 4x250 mm,P/N 0840250 Guard column P/N 18ECG001Flow Rate: 0.8 mL/minColumn Temperature: 50 CMobile Phase: Water/MethanolPost-column ConditionsPost-column System: Pinnacle PCX or Vec<strong>to</strong>r PCXReac<strong>to</strong>r Volume: 0.5 mLReac<strong>to</strong>r Temperature: 100 CReagent 1: CB130Reagent 2: 100 mg of OPA and 2 g of Thiouor in 950 mLof CB910 DiluentReagents Flow Rate: 0.3 mL/minDetection:Fluorescence Detec<strong>to</strong>r ex= 330 nm, em= 465 nmHPLC Gradient:TIME WATER % METHANOL %0 85 152 85 1542 30 7046 30 7046.1 0 10050 0 100Equilibration: 10 minACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:<strong>Pickering</strong> Labora<strong>to</strong>ries would like <strong>to</strong> thank John Casanova and Frank Schenck (FDA) fortheir help with this project.

Higher levels in vegetables and leafy greensare possible from the use of nitrate fertilizers and/or lives<strong>to</strong>ck manure.Nitrate can be reduced <strong>to</strong> nitrite at certain physiological conditions in the human body. Nitrite however can oxidize Fe (II) inhemoglobin <strong>to</strong> methemoglobin, an Fe (III) product. The oxidized product is incapable of binding molecular oxygen andhigh concentrations of methemoglobin can result in methemoglobinemia especially in infants. Nitrite can also react withsecondary amines present in food products or in the digestive system <strong>to</strong> form nitrosamines, a class of carcinogenic compounds.Nitrite levels in food could also be produced by reduction of nitrate <strong>to</strong> nitrite during processing.The AOAC Ofcial Method 993.03 1 for the analysis of nitrate involves reduction using spongy Cadmium which is <strong>to</strong>xic andcarcinogenic. The USFDA improved on this method by using Vanadium (III) chloride and heat 2 for the post-column reductionof nitrate <strong>to</strong> nitrite. Nitrite reacts with this modied Griess reagent <strong>to</strong> produce a red chromophore with maximal absorbanceat 535 nm. <strong>Pickering</strong> Labora<strong>to</strong>ries Inc. has further improved this method by substituting the corrosive and volatilehydrochloric acid with methane sulfonic acid.METHODEquipment• LC with a binary pump• UV/VIS detec<strong>to</strong>r• <strong>Pickering</strong> Labora<strong>to</strong>ries single reagent Pinnacle PCXpost-column derivatization unit(1153-1021 - 120 V, 1153-1022 – 240 V)• <strong>Pickering</strong> Labora<strong>to</strong>ries anion exchange column,4.6 X 150 mm (Cat.

METHOD ABSTRACTS105.2 / PARALYTIC SHELLFISH TOXINSANALYSIS OF DINOFLAGELATE DERIVED NEUROTOXINS IN BIVALVE MULLUSKS USINGHPLC POST-COLUMN FLUORESCENCE METHODThe paralytic shellsh <strong>to</strong>xins are a group of 18 secondary metabolites deposited in bivalve mollusks by dinoagelates. Dino-agelates blooms are seasonal, occurring during warm months. Since it is unpredictable whether an infestation will occur,the shellsh population should be regularly moni<strong>to</strong>red for <strong>to</strong>xins. Ingestion of contaminated shellsh can lead <strong>to</strong> paralyticshellsh poisoning; a life-threatening illness.Mouse bioassay is the ofcial method of AOAC International, but the drawbacks associated with this method have led <strong>to</strong>exploration of chemical methods. The most common HPLC post-column method is <strong>to</strong> oxidize the separated <strong>to</strong>xins underalkaline conditions <strong>to</strong> a uorescent compound. Sullivan et al. 1 used this method <strong>to</strong> determine the gonyau<strong>to</strong>xins 1-6 (GTX1-6), saxi<strong>to</strong>xin (STX) and neosaxi<strong>to</strong>xin (neoSTX) but not the N-sulfocarbamoyl-11-hydroxysulfate <strong>to</strong>xins (C1-C4). Oshima etal. 2, 3 modied this method <strong>to</strong> determine the 3 <strong>to</strong>xin groups separately using isocratic elution with 3 different mobile phases.Further improvement by Jeffery van de Riet et al. 4, 5 has led <strong>to</strong> a shorter analysis time <strong>to</strong> determine the 3 groups of <strong>to</strong>xinsusing step gradient and a switching valve.

METHOD ABSTRACTS117 / PARAQUAT AND DIQUAT IN WATERDIRECT INJECTION METHODParaquat and Diquat are widely used in agriculture and industry. They are employed as contact herbicides, as harvest aids,for pasture renovation and for aquatic weed control. Their environmental persistence allows for contamination of watersupplies; wells, lakes, rivers, etc. Since Paraquat is a Class I Toxin and Diquat is a Class II Toxin, water res<strong>our</strong>ces must bemoni<strong>to</strong>red for the presence of these herbicides.This method employs ion exchange chroma<strong>to</strong>graphy so ltration is the only sample preparation necessary. Also, since bothParaquat and Diquat have a xed +2 charge, 2 mL can be injected without peak degradation. Post-column derivitizationimproves sensitivity and greatly improves selectivity by shifting the detection <strong>to</strong> longer wavelengths.METHODAnalytical ConditionsColumn: ALKION column 4 x 150mm,<strong>Catalog</strong> No. 9410917, Guard column 3 x 20mm,<strong>Catalog</strong> No. 9493020Temperature: 50 °CFlow Rate: 0.8 mL/minMobile Phase:1700-1101, Potassium buffer, K011700-1102, Potassium titrant, K021700-1103, Potassium ionic strength adjuster, K03Injection Volume: 2 mLPost-column ConditionsPost-column System: Pinnacle PCXReaction Dwell: 0.15 mLTemperature: 35 °CReagent: 300 mg/L Sodium Dithionite in0.3 M Sodium HydroxideFlow Rate: 0.3 mL/minDetection: 395 nm for Paraquat and 378 nm for DiquatWithout post-column derivatization:257 nm for Paraquat and 308 nm for DiquatDiquatParaquat0 2 4 6 8 10 12CONDITIONSTIME (Min) 1700-1101 % 1700-1102 % 1700-1103 % IPA %0 31.5 53.5 0 1510 28 47 10 1515 28 47 10 1515.1 0 85 10 517 0 85 10 517.1 31.5 53.5 0 15min125PRODUCT CATALOGPICKERING LABORATORIES10/11


METHOD ABSTRACTS124 / SULFONAMIDE ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS IN FOOD PRODUCTSANALYSIS OF ACESULFAME, SACCHARIN AND CYCLAMATE BY HPLC WITH POST-COLUMN DERIVATIZATIONNonnutritive sweeteners are widely used in foods and beverages. Since some studies raised questions about long-term safetyof these compounds, their concentration in food products is regulated. Among the articial sweeteners used worldwideSaccharin and Cyclamate cause most controversy and their use is restricted in many countries, including the US. Liquidchroma<strong>to</strong>graphy is a method of choice for articial sweeteners but Cyclamate analysis is complicated by the fact that thiscompound does not exhibit noticeable UV absorbance.This method allows for simultaneous analysis of Acesulfame, Saccharin and Cyclamate by LC with post-column derivatizationfollowed by uorescence detection. Since the sweeteners are commonly used in combination, a single method ofanalysis is preferred.METHODAnalytical ConditionsAnalytical Column: Reversed-phase column, C18, 2x100 mmTemperature: 50 CFlow Rate: 0.2 mL/minMobile Phase:0.02 M Potassium Phosphate Monobasic in water.

Alpha-glucosidase inhibi<strong>to</strong>rs areagents that delay the glucose absorption at the intestinal level and thereby prevent sudden surge of glucose after a meal.Vogilbose is the safest and most effective drug of its class.Since Vogibose has no UV chromophore, post-column derivatization is employed <strong>to</strong> produce a uorescent derivative.This abstract describes a very sensitive and robust analytical method for the analysis of Voglibose in pharmaceutical tablets.Simple sample preparation and fast analysis time allow for using this method in high throughput environments.METHODAnalytical ConditionsColumn: Amino column,4.6x250 mm,<strong>Catalog</strong> number 1446250Temperature: 35 °CFlow Rate: 0.6 mL/minMobile Phase: Sodium phosphate buffer, 20 mMpH 6.5 / Ace<strong>to</strong>nitrile (37 : 63)Injection Volume: 50 µLSample PreparationCrush 5 tablets and mix with 25 mL of mobile phase.Sonicate for 10 min and lter liquid portion through0.45 µm lter.
