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.

Analytical Technologies for Therapeutic Peptides
Therapeutic peptides are an emerging class of active pharmaceutical ingredients that, together with other classes of bioproducts, have been attracting considerable attention due to their unique advantages. Their structure is based on well-defined amino acid sequences that may or may not contain structural modifications, resulting in molecules that generally range from 500 to 5000 Da. Currently, many examples can be used as medicines related to hormones, growth factors, neurotransmitters, among others.
