General description

SupraSolv ECD and FID is specially developed for gas chromatography in combination with ECD (Electron Capture Detetor) and FID (Flame Ionization detector). SupraSolv solvents offer the largest specified retention time range, a clear baseline and a minimal signal-to-noise ratio leading to reliable and reproducible analysis results.

Application



  • Enantiomeric determination of tramadol and its main metabolite O-desmethyltramadol in human plasma by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.: Explores the role of isohexane in enhancing the enantioselective analysis of tramadol, which is critical for therapeutic drug monitoring and pharmacokinetic studies (Ceccato et al., 2000).
