Characterizing of the Natural Product Goldenseal Using CORTECS 2.7 µm Columns and ACQUITY QDa Detection

5 Jan 2015

In this application note, five different sources of Goldenseal, which span four different manufacturers, two different parts of the plant, and two different formulation matrices are analyzed. This variety of sources was tested to determine the differences between each sample and if there were any compounds common to all the tested sources. Each sample was analyzed using a CORTECS C18+, 2.7 µm, 3.0 x 50 mm Column on an Alliance HPLC System with both UV and an ACQUITY QDa Detector in order to get fast and reliable mass data for peaks present in the sample, providing additional and crucial information for the characterization of the natural products.

ACQUITY QDa Mass Detector
Waters
The ACQUITY QDa® Mass Detector gives you certainty above all else. You can minimize the risk of unexpected coelutions or components and confirms trace components with the analytical confidence of mass detection. The ACQUITY QDa® Detector is a mass detector built around the needs of analytical scientists for chromatographic analysis. Robust, reliable and requiring no sample adjustments, it just integrates with your current LC, ACQUITY UPLC, ACQUITY UPC2 and purification systems. You'll enhance the analytical value and productivity of each analysis, and you won't need to run all the additional assays or time-consuming alternative techniques or even wait for results from specialist labs that cost your laboratory productivity. With the ACQUITY QDa® Detector, you now have information-rich mass spectral data to complement data from your current Waters® optical detectors, including the ACQUITY UPLC PDA, TUV, ELS, and FLR detectors, as well as the ACQUITY UPC² PDA Detector. This mass spectral information integrates seamlessly into the same workflow; routinely giving you more complete separation characterization.
