At Founders Science Group, we leverage cutting-edge analytical techniques to provide comprehensive insights into the chemical composition and properties of your products. Our expertise in chromatographic and spectroscopic methods enables us to support a wide range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, environmental, and materials science.
Gas Chromatography (GC) with Dual FID and Headspace: Comprehensive Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Analysis
Our gas chromatography (GC) system, equipped with dual flame ionization detectors (FID) and headspace sampling, offers a powerful tool for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This method is particularly well-suited for the characterization of complex mixtures, such as fragrance and flavor compounds, residual solvents, and environmental pollutants.
Headspace Sampling: This technique allows for the direct analysis of volatile compounds in the headspace above a sample, eliminating the need for time-consuming extraction or sample preparation steps.
Dual FID: Our detector is equipped with 2 FIDs but not in tandem. This provides an additional detector to allow for more versatility not more sensitivity.
GC Applications:
Quality Control: Ensuring batch-to-batch consistency and adherence to regulatory standards.
Contaminant Identification: Detection of trace-level impurities that may impact product safety or performance.
Product Development: Optimization of formulations through detailed analysis of volatile components.
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with UV/Vis Variable Wavelength: Precise Quantification and Identification of Analytes
HPLC, coupled with a UV/Vis variable wavelength detector, is a versatile technique for the separation, identification, and quantification of a wide range of compounds, including pharmaceuticals, natural products, and industrial chemicals.
UV/Vis Detection: The variable wavelength capability allows for optimal detection of compounds with different absorption characteristics.
Method Development and Validation: Our experienced scientists can develop and validate custom HPLC methods tailored to your specific needs.
HPLC Applications:
Purity Analysis: Determination of the purity of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other high-value compounds.
Impurity Profiling: Identification and quantification of impurities that may affect product stability or efficacy.
Pharmacokinetic Studies: Analysis of drug concentrations in biological fluids for pharmacokinetic and bioavailability studies.
Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC): Enhanced Resolution and Sensitivity for Complex Samples
UHPLC, a more recent advancement in liquid chromatography, offers several advantages over traditional HPLC, including increased resolution, sensitivity, and speed. This is achieved through the use of smaller particle size columns and higher operating pressures.
Complex Sample Analysis: UHPLC excels at separating and identifying closely related compounds in complex matrices, such as natural extracts and biological samples.
High-Throughput Analysis: The faster run times offered by UHPLC increase sample throughput, making it an ideal choice for high-volume testing laboratories.
UHPLC Applications:
Proteomics and Metabolomics: Identification and quantification of proteins and metabolites in biological samples.
Food Safety: Analysis of food contaminants, such as pesticides, mycotoxins, and veterinary drug residues.
Environmental Monitoring: Detection and quantification of environmental pollutants in water, soil, and air samples.
