The HPTLC Association collaborates to create and uphold the "International HPTLC Atlas for Identification of Herbal Drugs" (Atlas), which serves as a database and reference tool. The Atlas entry for each herbal drug presents several HPTLC fingerprints from representative samples of various accessions (originating from different geographical areas) to demonstrate the drug's natural variability. Fingerprints of similar or confounding drugs are also provided. All highlighted sam

HPTLC is a favored technique for examining substances within complex matrices, such as those present in formulated cosmetic products. This method is extensively employed in laboratories globally for routine quality control, especially to verify or dismiss the identity of raw materials in cosmetics. By examining natural ingredients and identifying harmful contaminants, HPTLC can confirm that cosmetic products adhere to regulatory standards and fulfill consumer expectations. It

This application note, "Sykam AN10," outlines a method specifically developed to meet the demand for quick and reliable analysis of drinking and natural waters. It details the fast, simultaneous determination of inorganic anions and cations in water samples via ion chromatography (IC) using suppressed conductivity measurement. The method was validated in accordance with the requirements outlined in the aforementioned methods for anion and cation analysis, offering a cost-effe

PTWS 830 is a compact instrument equipped with 8 testing positions. It arrives fully configured and ready for immediate use. Each package includes a complete set of USP vessels, stirrer shafts, and USP apparatus 2 paddles, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and facilitating efficient laboratory workflows. The instrument still uses the Pharma Test MonoShaft design and supports staggered stirrer start for manual operation. Advanced Touch Screen User Interface Touch S

Monitoring temperature in real-time is crucial for accurately characterizing exothermic and endothermic reactions , especially during quick thermal changes. This study assesses the temperature measurement and control in these reactions using ReactALL ’s contactless Thermopile technology . The findings were compared with those obtained using a traditional temperature probe.  Thermopile technology, unlike traditional temperature probes, prevents contamination, mechanical interf

The stability of chemical formulations is crucial in the creation and use of various personal care products such as detergents, oils, and fragrances. It is essential to guarantee the chemical and physical stability of these products under different environmental conditions to preserve their effectiveness, appearance, and shelf life. A major concern in this context is the risk of crystallization , which can significantly affect the performance and stability of these formulat
