Rapid and Sensitive Determination of Biofuel Sugars by Ion Chromatography
31 Oct 2013The aim of the work presented here was to develop a rapid (<8 min) and robust method with minimal sample pretreatment using high-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAE-PAD) to determine the sugars of interest in the highly concentrated samples encountered in biofuel processing.

Ion ChromatographyIon chromatography, also known as ion exchange chromatography, is a high-performance liquid chromatographic technique used for the separation and identification of ions or polar molecules in a sample, including proteins, nucleotides and amino acids. Equipment includes ion exchange columns, ion exclusion columns, ion chromatography systems, pumps, and detectors. Find the best ion chromatography equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity. Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.Food and Beverage AnalyzersFood and Beverage Analyzers are commonly used to provide information about the chemical composition, structure and physical properties of food materials.Sugars in BiomassBrazilBiofuel
