Separation Techniques & Formulation

Hyphenated separation techniques

The hyphenated technique is developed by blending a separation technique and an on-line spectroscopic detection technology. The significant improvements in hyphenated analytical methods over the last two decades have significantly broadened their applications in the analysis of biomaterials, especially natural products. This is useful for pre-isolation analyses of crude extracts or fractions from various natural sources, isolation and online detection of natural products, chemotaxonomic studies, chemical fingerprinting, quality control of herbal products, dereplication of natural products, and metabolomics.
