Research Demonstrates Superior Resolution for Kavalactone Standards
This scientific application note focuses on the analysis of 9 Kavalactones using a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. Kavalactones are naturally occurring compounds found in the roots of the kava plant. This application highlights the use of the YMC-Triart C8 column and its superior resolution compared to traditional C18 stationary phases, allowing for the clear separation of these compounds. The research demonstrates the effectiveness of the method for analyzing Kavalactones in both standard solutions and commercial kava formulations.

Eliminating False Positives in PFOS Analysis: The Power of Methanol-Free Separation
Accurate determination of 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗼𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗱 (𝗣𝗙𝗢𝗦) in food samples is challenging due to bile acid–related compounds (e.g., taurocholic acid isomers). These species can produce the same SRM transition (m/z 499→80) as PFOS, leading to potential false positives without adequate chromatographic separation.
