This work investigated column elution chromatography coupled with supercritical anti-solvent precipitation to produce carotenoid rich microsized particulates from microalgal Dunaliella salina species. The extract contained carotenoids ranging from 61.3 mg/g(salina) to 72.5 mg/g(salina) using ultrasonic stirred ethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran

Experimental and mathematical modeling studies were performed to examine the effects of stabilizing agents on the transport and retention of fullerene nanoparticles (nC(60)) in water-saturated quartz sand. Three stabilizing systems were considered: naturally occurring compounds known to stabilize nanoparticles (Suwannee

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of the anti-arrhythmic drug mexiletine in human plasma, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid is described. Following extraction with diethyl ether, mexiletine and the internal standard 4-methylmexiletine were derivatized with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene. Analyses were performed
