HPTLC offers a quick and straightforward method for analysing Cannabis, particularly for various analytical objectives. Multiple samples can be simultaneously evaluated in a limit test to determine their classification as a narcotic drug. Additionally, it allows for the detection and accurate measurement of specific cannabinoids. Below is an article produced by CAMAG AG Switzerland which outlines the analytical process.

X-ray quality single crystals must exhibit a high degree of internal order, as evidenced by an X-ray diffraction pattern, and should measure between 0.1 - 0.4 mm in at least two of the three dimensions. The CrystalBreeder assists you in setting up parallel crystallization experiments under various conditions, maximizing your chances of success in a relatively short time. To grow single crystals, avoid solvents where your compound forms supersaturated solutions, as excessive n

The Importance of Automation in Crystallisation Automation goes beyond being just a trend; it significantly boosts throughput, reproducibility, and data quality, while minimizing manual work and associated risks. By incorporating our crystallisation platforms into automated processes, you can efficiently conduct solubility screening, particle engineering, solid-form studies, and other tasks with little human involvement. Technobis software and hardware are built from the grou

The new Pharma Test 2026 brochure which includes all the latest instruments and innovations for Dissolution Testing and Galenic Instruments.

CAMAG's CBS 136 | Article 2 (2026), This article introduces a universal HPTLC method capable of simultaneously separating fourteen antimalarial active pharmaceutical ingredients along with three related impurities on a single plate. This method is ideal as a rapid screening tool for pharmaceutical quality control, particularly in settings with limited resources.

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
