High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is one of the most commonly used and accurate analytical technologies employed to identify and quantify specific compounds in a sample.
Whether the sample is a whole Botanical, a plant extract or a finished natural product such as a Dietary Food Supplement, Alkemists can utilize industry recognized methods, proprietary methods or develop and validate new methods (under contract) to ensure identity, consistency and quality. HPLC is the primary tool used to determine purity, compare claims by raw material suppliers, determine degradation of actives and test shelf life of Dietary Supplements as well as make or verify the Nutritional Label of a Food or Herbal product. In difficult cases of verifying identity or adulteration, HPLC techniques may be utilized by our scientists in combination with HPTLC and Microscopy (The Analytical Triad) to make the most accurate conclusions with challenging samples.
