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


  • Improved lipid analysis using a 2D-LC-MS system with a novel injection procedure.: This research introduces an advanced lipid analysis method that incorporates chloroform in a dual-dimensional liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry setup, enhancing lipidomic studies′ precision and throughput (Schiell et al., 2024).

  • Uncovering the Power of HSCCC: Separation of Diastereomeric and Regioisomeric Styrylpyrones from the Stem Bark of Goniothalamus leiocarpus.: Describes the use of chloroform in high-speed countercurrent chromatography, which is critical for separating complex natural product mixtures (Mu et al., 2024).

  • Determination of aflatoxins in rice from Penang, Malaysia by dispersive liquid-liquid micro-extraction and LC-MS/MS.: This study employs chloroform in a dispersive liquid-liquid micro-extraction technique for detecting aflatoxins in rice, highlighting its role in food safety (Ismail et al., 2024).
