Analysis of Iohexol using the Advion Interchim Scientific® AVANT® HPLC and expression® CMS System

Iohexol is a widely used non-ionic imaging agent that improves contrast for x–ray analysis. Its low osmolality allows for a rapid clearance via the kidney, preventing reabsorption and further metabolization. This makes iohexol a compound with a better safety profile compared to other imaging agents.

In this application note, a simple and accurate HPLC-CMS method for iohexol analysis is introduced.

Rapid Analysis Using Direct Microextraction Assays Coupled to the New SOLATION® ICP-MS

Recorded February 2, 2023: LIVE Location, the 2023 European Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry

Speakers:

Janez Ilaš, Ph. D., Professor, University of Ljubljana
Fadi Abou-Shakra, Director of Advion Interchim Scientific® ICP-MS Portfolio

Join Advion Interchim Scientific® with guest speaker from the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Pharmacy, to learn more about a new novel sample introduction method for ICP-MS utilizing direct analysis via microextraction. First you will learn microextraction methods with the Plate Express TLC Plate/microextraction reader coupled to the single-quadrupole expression® Compact Mass Spectrometer (CMS). After understanding the basics of the platform, you will learn more about how this technology was reimagined to suit the SOLATION® ICP-MS for a rapid method to determine isotopic analysis faster and easier than ever before.

Laboratory Insider: A Look Inside the Organic Synthesis Lab

Ask the Expert Webinar
Presented live November 2, 2022

Step inside the Parasram Lab at New York University for a look at some of their latest research.

In this webinar, Professor Marvin Parasram will discuss data from his laboratory’s recent publication, “Anaerobic Heteroatom Transfer Reactions Using Photoexcited Nitroarenes.” The research features developments on the anaerobic cleavage of alkenes into carbonyl compounds using nitroarenes as oxygen transfer reagents under visible light. This approach is a safe and practical alternative to mainstream oxidative cleavage protocols, such as ozonolysis and the Lemieux–Johnson reaction.

As an attendee, you will learn more about:

  • How a wide range of alkenes possessing oxidatively sensitive functionalities underwent anaerobic cleavage to generate carbonyl derivatives with high efficiency and regioselectivity, using the Advion Interchim Scientific puriFlash® 5.250 Preparative HPLC system.
  • Mechanistic studies support that the transformation occurs via direct photoexcitation of the nitroarene followed by a nonstereospecific radical cycloaddition event with alkenes.
    How this process leads to 1,3,2- and 1,4,2-dioxazolidine intermediates that fragment to give the carbonyl products, using the Advion Interchim Scientific expression Compact Mass Spectrometer.
  • How a combination of radical clock experiments and in situ photoNMR spectroscopy revealed the identities of the key radical species and the putative aryl dioxazolidine intermediates, respectively.Watched the video and ready to learn more?
