General description

EMPLURA® is our low-cost alternative to high-purity qualities. With EMPLURA we offer a range of solvents for a plurality of basic applications in non-regulated industries and for less demanding applications, preparative laboratory work and cleaning purposes. EMPLURA solvents provide adequate specifications with the most important parameters.

Application


  • [Determination of 12 prohibited veterinary drug residues in pig urine by ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry]: Ethyl acetate is utilized for sample preparation in this advanced method to detect drug residues in animal samples, emphasizing its role in veterinary pharmaceutical compliance (Wan et al., 2024).

  • Therapeutic effect of Ginkgetin on smoke-induced airway inflammation by down-regulating the c/EBPβ signaling pathway and CCL2 expression: This study explores the anti-inflammatory properties of Ginkgetin, where ethyl acetate is used in the extraction process, highlighting its utility in biomedical research (Tao et al., 2024).

  • Effect of methanol extract of Plectranthus esculentus N.E.Br tuber and its fractions on indices of benign prostatic hyperplasia in Wistar rats: Ethyl acetate is employed in the extraction of bioactive compounds for pharmacological studies, showing its critical role in therapeutic applications (Kanu et al., 2024).

  • Phytochemical evaluation of Ziziphus mucronata and Xysmalobium undulutum towards the discovery and development of anti-malarial drugs: Demonstrates the use of ethyl acetate in phytochemical screenings, contributing to the development of new anti-malarial medications (Buthelezi et al., 2024).

  • The First Records of the In Silico Antiviral and Antibacterial Actions of Molecules Detected in Extracts of Algerian Fir (Abies numidica De Lannoy) Using LC-MS/MS Analysis: This research utilizes ethyl acetate for extracting compounds from plants for antiviral and antibacterial testing, underscoring its importance in the study of natural products (Benouchenne et al., 2024).
