Phenomenex is dedicated to supporting the biofuel industry with cutting edge chromatographic tools and resources designed to enhance production, simplify alternative fuels analysis, and lower production costs.
Pharmaceutical Analysis Guide
Look inside to see how you can easily achieve resolution, ruggedness, and reproducibility in your pharmaceutical method development.
Chromatography Guide for Environmental Testing
In recent years, there has been a rapid, worldwide increase in environmental testing. The sudden emergence of hybrid vehicles and the recent trend towards biofuels highlight the growing concern for environmental pollutants. As the focus on environmental contaminants and cleanup has increased, there is heightened demand for more sensitive analytical tests to measure the amount of pollutants in the environment. Since 1982, Phenomenex has been committed to developing a broad range of products that will help companies accurately and reliably identify and quantify these contaminants.
Vitamin Testing Applications Guide
This guide is your answer to simple cleanup procedures, rapid HPLC analysis, and accurate and reproducible results in your clinical research.
Improved Methods for Forensic Toxicology Analysis
The screening and confirmation for drugs of abuse and their metabolites present many challenges in toxicological analysis. Searching for illegal drugs in complex matrices, such as urine and blood, can prove to be difficult because if present, they may be found at very low concentration levels. Direct analysis of these samples is often hampered by endogenous compounds in the biomatrix. These interferences are often in higher concentrations than that of the target analytes and thus may mask their presence.
