Beckman Coulter has released two kits for anion and cation analysis on the company's P/Ace MDQ and Proteomelab PA 800 systems.
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) analysis of ions performed using these kits delivers rapid separations with small sample requirements and short preparation times.
Beckman Coulter said that its ion analysis kits incorporate a coating technology that produces more consistent migration times than other approaches.
In drug discovery applications, the kits provide robust results for counterion analysis, an important part of purity determination for drugs.
Compound libraries can be processed for counterion content even if solubility data is not available.
The kits allow analysis of compounds over a wide range of polarities for applications with diverse sample matrices.
In addition to pharmaceuticals, these kits can be used in the analysis of foods, beverages and industrial products for the detection and quantitation of organic acids, inorganic anions and cations, and aliphatic amines.
The anion and cation analysis kits are specifically formulated for the P/Ace MDQ and PA 800 CE platforms, on which they are claimed to deliver low detection limits and excellent quantitation with stable migration times.
