This application note demonstrates the use of the Advion Interchim Scientific® expression® Compact Mass Spectrometer (CMS) with a volatile Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (vAPCI) source for rapid, direct analysis of espresso headspace. Aroma profiles from four commercially available coffee pods were compared using positive- and negative-ion vAPCI, highlighting the technique’s potential for fast aroma fingerprinting and product differentiation.
The Extraction, Identification, Purification and Quantitation of Cyanidin-3-glucoside in Black Rice
In this application note, we show how Cyanidin-3-glucoside can be extracted from black rice and purified with a prepLC/Flash system. The amount and purity of Cyanidin-3-glucoside was measured utilizing a certified reference standard.
Extraction, Identification and Purification of (-)- Epigallocatechin Gallate From Green Tea
In this application note, a method to separate and purify green tea catechins with preparative liquid chromatography (Prep-LC) using the puriFlash® 5.250 system is demonstrated. An additional HPLC-UV-MS method is also demonstrated for compound confirmation and purity analysis.
Extraction and Purification of 3 Curcuminoids from Turmeric Powder
In this application note, a method to separate and purify 3 curcuminoids from turmeric powder using thin layer chromatography (TLC) with mass spectrometry and flash chromatography is demonstrated.
Mass Directed Fraction Collection of Natural Products: Examples from Turmeric and Green Tea Extract
In this application note, we describe methods of isolating natural products from green tea and turmeric powder by mass-directed fraction collection during flash chromatography and preparative LC. For demonstration purposes, the isolated compounds were then additionally confirmed by Atmospheric Solids Analysis Probe (ASAP®) MS or HPLC-MS.

SOLATION®, A New ICP-MS for the Detection of Heavy Metals in Cannabis and Hemp
Cannabis and hemp products are becoming much more available for medicinal and recreational use making routine testing for toxic heavy metals much more important. Advion Interchim Scientific® introduces the SOLATION® ICP-MS for the analysis of heavy metals in cannabis plant and cannabis product samples. While there are no federal guidelines for heavy metals in cannabis, states where cannabis use and production are legal have adopted exposure limits and QC criteria for Arsenic, Cadmium, Mercury, and Lead based on USP<233>. Here, we report the results of our sample analysis using these guidelines.

Mass Directed Fraction Collection of Natural Products: Examples from Turmeric & Green Tea Extract
Flash chromatography has traditionally used UV absorption as the main method of detection for compounds during a purification process. While UV absorption is broadly applicable to many classes of compounds, it has limited specificity to individual compounds in a mixture and misses classes of compounds that do not carry chromophores.
Mass-directed fraction collection gives users the ability to collect fractions based on mass spectrometry detection (MS) which is based on ions specific to individual compounds and provides specific molecular information. This allows for simplification in the overall purification process and greater confidence in the identity of each isolated compound. Here we describe methods of isolating natural products from green tea and turmeric powder by mass-directed fraction collection during flash chromatography and preparative LC.
