General description

With their high degree of UV transmittance, low particle count, low acidity and alkalinity and low evaporation residue level, LiChrosolv solvents are ideal for reproducible separations. Since separations are normally carried out under gradient conditions in analytical HPLC, we offer solvents in "gradient grade" as well as "isocratic grade". This enables to minimize the gradient effect of the solvent involved.

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).
