<div><p><strong>Protein purification is a critical step in biopharmaceutical research, proteomics, and industrial biotechnology. It involves isolating a specific protein from complex biological mixtures while preserving its native structure and activity. Traditional methods such as precipitation or dialysis lack the precision required for high-purity protein isolation, especially when dealing with therapeutic targets or complex protein assemblies.</strong></p><p>High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) protein purification has transformed this field by providing high resolution, reproducibility, and speed, making it indispensable for both analytical and preparative workflows.</p></div><div><div><div><div><h3><strong>What is HPLC Protein Purification?</strong></h3><p>HPLC purification is based on the principle of selective interactions between proteins and the stationary phase under high-pressure liquid flow. The separation relies on differences in size, charge, hydrophobicity, or affinity of proteins toward the stationary phase material.</p><p>Unlike conventional low-pressure methods such as gel filtration or affinity batch purification, HPLC purification operates under high pressure (up to 6000 psi), enabling faster separation with enhanced resolution and quantitative recovery. It also offers precise control over parameters like gradient composition, pH, and temperature, minimizing variability between runs.</p><p>In contrast to traditional column chromatography, HPLC uses smaller stationary phase particles (3–10 µm), resulting in increased surface area and sharper <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.phenomenex.com/resources/knowledge-center/hplc-knowledge-center/how-to-reduce-peak-tailing-in-hplc"><strong>peak shapes</strong></a>, which are vital for protein purity assessment and scale-up purification.</p></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div><h3><strong>Types of HPLC Used for Protein Purification</strong></h3></div></div></div></div><div><p>Different HPLC modes can be employed depending on the physicochemical properties of the target protein. Each method offers unique advantages in terms of selectivity and recovery.</p><h4><strong>Reversed-Phase HPLC (RP-HPLC)</strong></h4><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.phenomenex.com/techniques/hplc-reversed-phase"><strong>Reversed-Phase HPLC</strong></a> separates proteins based on hydrophobic interactions between the analyte and the stationary phase, typically C4, C8, or C18 silica-based columns. Proteins are eluted using gradients of organic solvents (usually acetonitrile or methanol) in the presence of volatile acids like formic or trifluoroacetic acid (TFA).</p><p>This method provides exceptional resolution and is commonly used for protein fragment purification, and analysis of recombinant proteins. For example, reversed-phase HPLC is routinely employed in peptide therapeutic workflows, such as the<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/an59280424_w_fc6c3ac6f0.pdf"><strong> Tirzepatide Preparation and Purification </strong></a>process, where purity and recovery are critical to product efficacy. However, due to exposure to organic solvents, RP-HPLC may cause partial denaturation, limiting its use for native proteins.</p><h4><strong>Ion Exchange HPLC (IEX-HPLC)</strong></h4><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.phenomenex.com/techniques/hplc-sec"><strong>IEX-HPLC</strong></a> separates proteins based on net surface charge. Cation exchange (with negatively charged stationary phases) binds positively charged proteins, while anion exchange does the reverse.</p><p>By gradually increasing salt concentration or changing the mobile phase pH, proteins are eluted according to their isoelectric points (pI).By gradually increasing salt concentration or changing the mobile phase pH, proteins are eluted according to their isoelectric points (pI).</p><p>This approach is highly suitable for native purification, protein isoform analysis, and charge variant characterization essential steps in therapeutic protein production.</p><h4><strong>Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC-HPLC)</strong></h4><p>SEC separates molecules based on their hydrodynamic radius. Larger proteins elute first, as they are excluded from the pores of the stationary phase, while smaller molecules penetrate and elute later.</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.phenomenex.com/techniques/hplc-sec"><strong>SEC-HPLC</strong></a> is non-denaturing and ideal for determining protein molecular weight, oligomeric state, and aggregate content. It is frequently used as a final polishing step following ion exchange or affinity chromatography.</p><h4><strong>Affinity HPLC</strong></h4><p>Affinity-based HPLC leverages specific biological interactions between the target protein and a ligand immobilized on the stationary phase (e.g., antibodies, metal ions, or tags such as His-tag or GST).</p><p>When integrated into an HPLC system, affinity chromatography provides high selectivity and purity (&gt;95%) in a single step, often used in recombinant protein purification and biomarker capture applications.</p></div><div><div><div><div><h3><strong>Benefits of Using HPLC for Protein Purification</strong></h3><p>HPLC-based protein purification combines the analytical precision of chromatography with the preparative capability needed for research and biomanufacturing. The main advantages include:</p><h5><strong>Benefit &nbsp;/ &nbsp;Description</strong></h5><p><strong>High Resolution and Selectivity:</strong></p><ul><li>Smaller stationary phase particles and optimized flow dynamics allow HPLC to resolve proteins differing by minimal physicochemical properties. This precision is vital for distinguishing isoforms, mutants, and post-translationally modified variants.</li></ul><p><strong>Accuracy and Reproducibility</strong></p><ul><li>Automated systems maintain stable flow rates, gradient control, and detection sensitivity, ensuring reproducible results essential for regulated biopharmaceutical workflows.</li></ul><p><strong>Speed and Efficiency</strong></p><ul><li>Modern UHPLC systems equipped with fully porous or core–shell particles achieve faster separations without sacrificing resolution, reducing run times by up to 50% compared to classical methods.</li></ul><p><strong>Compatibility and Scalability</strong></p><ul><li>HPLC systems are highly adaptable, supporting both analytical-scale characterization and preparative-scale purification. Methods developed at microgram scale can be seamlessly transferred to milligram or gram scales used in process development.</li></ul><div><div><div><div><h3><strong>Factors Affecting the Efficacy of Protein Purification by HPLC</strong></h3></div></div></div></div><div><p>Optimizing HPLC for protein purification requires balancing purity, recovery, and throughput. The following parameters significantly influence results:</p><ul><li><strong>Purification goal:</strong> Define whether the priority is yield, purity, or throughput. Analytical separations prioritize resolution, while preparative runs emphasize recovery and process speed.</li><li><strong>Protein solubility and stability:</strong> Unstable or aggregation-prone proteins may require low temperatures or additives (e.g., glycerol, mild detergents).</li><li><strong>Column chemistry and particle size:</strong> Select appropriate stationary phase chemistry (silica, polymeric, or mixed-mode) and particle size to suit molecular weight and hydrophobicity.</li><li><strong>Mobile phase pH and ionic strength:</strong> pH should be optimized near but not at the protein’s pI; salt gradients influence both resolution and elution strength.</li><li><strong>Flow rate and gradient profile:</strong> Steeper gradients shorten run time but may compromise separation quality.</li><li><strong>Purified protein final form:</strong> Consider buffer composition and concentration for storage or downstream assays to maintain bioactivity.</li></ul></div><div><div><div><div><h3><strong>Best Practices for Protein Purification by HPLC</strong></h3></div></div></div></div><div><p>Following good chromatographic practices ensures consistent, high-quality results:</p><ul><li><strong>Column conditioning and storage:</strong> Always equilibrate new <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/products?category=48&amp;manufacturerItems=50"><strong>HPLC columns</strong></a> with 10 column volumes of buffer; store in appropriate solvent containing preservatives.</li><li><strong>Avoid protein precipitation:</strong> Maintain appropriate ionic strength and, when native state is desired, avoid exposure to denaturing solvents or high organic content.</li><li><strong>Prevent sample loss:</strong> Use low-protein-binding tubing and vials; minimize dead volume in the system.</li><li><strong>Troubleshooting:</strong><ul><li>Peak fronting - may indicate column overloading.</li><li>Peak broadening – may indicate column channeling.</li><li>Carryover – reduce by extending wash cycles or using stronger regeneration solvents.</li><li>Clogging – prefilter samples (0.22 µm) and periodically flush the system.</li></ul></li></ul></div></div></div></div></div>

Protein Purification by HPLC: Methods, Benefits, and Best Practices

<p><strong>Scientists from CEITEC Brno University of Technology&nbsp;have succeeded in a highly competitive international selection process and secured a prestigious Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) grant, which supports groundbreaking fundamental research. The Brno-based team led by Eric Daniel Glowacki will contribute a unique technology to an international project that enables precise control of oxygen levels in tissues. Changes in oxygen availability may play a crucial role in determining how cells specialize during early embryonic development.</strong></p><p>The project, entitled “Beyond Theory: Regulation of Mammalian Embryo Patterning by Electrochemical Gradients,” is being carried out by CEITEC BUT in collaboration with biologists from the <strong>Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics</strong> and <strong>Yale University</strong>. The Brno team’s role is central to the project: providing technology that enables the deliberate creation of regions with different oxygen concentrations in tissues and the observation of how cells respond to these changes.</p><p><i>“Our research group specializes in electrochemistry, particularly in studying how electric current affects tissue oxygenation and the resulting chemical changes. To perform certain types of experiments, we developed our own integrated system of needle probes, electrodes, and software, which allows us to influence and control the amount of oxygen present in tissues through which current is passed,” </i>explains team leader <strong>Eric Daniel Glowacki</strong>. Using these tools, researchers can create regions within samples where oxygen is scarce or even completely absent. Changes in oxygen levels are fundamental to biology because they affect cellular metabolism and, consequently, cell behaviour. In some types of research, such precise environmental control is essential.</p><p><i>“Our system is not universal; we tailor it to each application. In the future, however, we aim to expand its variants so that it can be used across the widest possible range of research fields,”</i> adds Eric.</p><p>Scientists at the Max Planck Institute have already used CEITEC’s technology in previous studies of early embryonic development. They investigated how the metabolic activity of stem cells – undifferentiated cells capable of self-renewal and transformation into specialized cells such as muscle, nerve, or blood cells – affects both their own development and that of neighbouring cells.</p><p>The newly funded HFSP project builds on this work. Its goal is to revisit the nearly century-old theory&nbsp;proposed by the American zoologist Charles Manning Child, which explains how stem cells in multicellular organisms gradually develop into mature cells with specific functions and structures. The three-year project, supported by a grant of<strong> CZK 7.5 million </strong>for each partner, will test a new hypothesis in mouse embryos directly in the uterus: that the specific transformation of cells depends not only on oxygen depletion itself but also on the cell’s location within the tissue and the timing of the oxygen decrease.</p><p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/CEITEC_Technologie_vedcu_z_CEITEC_pomuze_odhalit_jak_kyslik_ridi_vyvoj_embryi_2_1ea86be296.jpeg" alt="CEITEC/ Lukáš Havlák: CEITEC Technology Will Help Reveal How Oxygen Controls Embryo Development: HFSP technological setup at CEITEC BUT." srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_CEITEC_Technologie_vedcu_z_CEITEC_pomuze_odhalit_jak_kyslik_ridi_vyvoj_embryi_2_1ea86be296.jpeg 235w," sizes="100vw" width="1600" height="1067"></p><p>A better understanding of the mechanisms that govern early embryonic development could, in the future, contribute to advances in regenerative medicine, research into developmental disorders, and the more effective use of stem cells in biomedicine.</p><p><i>“The success of our project is both a great honour and a significant responsibility. HFSP is a unique programme dedicated to fundamental research, where investigators seek answers to the most basic and still unresolved questions in biology,”</i> says Eric. The programme is extremely competitive, with only two to three percent of the thousands of submitted projects receiving funding. Requirements include international collaboration across continents and a genuinely innovative approach.</p><p><i>“Through this, we have become part of a community of world-class scientists from around the globe. Although the results of this kind of research are not immediately applicable, their long-term benefit to society is immense,” </i>Eric concludes.</p><blockquote><h4><strong>About HFSP</strong></h4><p>The Human Frontier Science Program Organization (HFSPO) was established in France in 1989, although the idea of creating such an international community dedicated to fundamental research originated several years earlier in Japan. The programme funds cutting-edge research in life sciences, particularly in biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and computer science, and supports innovative interdisciplinary projects that would otherwise be difficult to finance.</p><p>HFSPO receives funding from governments and institutions, including those of France, Japan, Switzerland, South Korea, the United States, the European Union, Singapore, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Since the programme’s launch in 1989, 31 HFSP-supported scientists have gone on to receive Nobel Prizes. The most recent awardees, in 2024, were David Baker, who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for computational protein design, and Gary Ruvkun, who received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of microRNA.</p></blockquote>

<p><strong>🎤Rajas Poorna and Charles Anderson</strong></p><h4><strong>What if you could dry biofluid samples in the field—without a vacuum system, freeze dryer, or full lab setup?</strong></h4><p>In this episode of Concentrating on Chromatography, I sit down with Rajas Poorna and Charles Anderson to explore their work on a frugal, field-deployable alternative to traditional lyophilization through the Evapinator project.</p><p>Originally inspired by the principles of frugal science, their approach rethinks how we stabilize and prepare biofluid samples like blood and plasma—especially in environments where traditional lab infrastructure simply isn’t available.</p><h4><strong>What This Episode Covers:</strong></h4><h5><strong>A Frugal Take on Lyophilization</strong></h5><p>Can you replicate the outcome of a lyophilizer without the complexity?<br>Why traditional freeze drying is often too expensive and impractical for field use<br>How simplifying evaporation could unlock entirely new workflows</p><h5><strong>Drying Biofluids in the Field</strong></h5><p>The real-world challenge of handling blood and other biofluids outside the lab<br>Why sample stability during transport is such a critical bottleneck<br>How a portable system could enable on-site sample prep in remote or resource-limited settings</p><h5><strong>Rethinking Evaporation (No Vacuum Required)</strong></h5><p>The core idea behind the Evapinator—and how it challenges conventional assumptions<br>The role of airflow, heat, and design in drying sensitive samples<br>Where this approach fits relative to traditional evaporation and lyophilization techniques</p><h5><strong>Early Results &amp; Practical Insights</strong></h5><p>What’s working so far—and where limitations still exist<br>The types of applications where this approach shows the most promise<br>What still needs to be validated in upcoming peer-reviewed work</p><h4><strong>Why This Matters</strong></h4><p>From clinical research in remote regions to decentralized diagnostics, the ability to dry and preserve biofluid samples in the field could fundamentally change how and where analysis happens.</p><p>This conversation challenges a core assumption in analytical science:</p><p>Do you really need a full lyophilizer—or even a vacuum—to stabilize biofluid samples?</p><h3><strong>Video Transcription</strong></h3><p>The interview opens with a welcome to an episode of <i>Concentrating on Chromatography</i>. The host introduces guests <strong>Rajas Poorna</strong> and <strong>Charles Anderson</strong> and asks about their scientific backgrounds and how they became involved in solving evaporation challenges.</p><h4><strong>Scientific background and project origin</strong></h4><p>Rajas explains that he is trained as a physicist and is now pursuing a PhD in bioengineering. His lab focuses on building low-cost scientific equipment to make science more accessible, especially for schools and low-resource settings. This work is part of a broader “frugal science” approach, where students and researchers develop affordable versions of instruments that are normally expensive.</p><p>The original challenge came from synthetic biology education. High school teams working on synthetic biology projects needed access to equipment such as lyophilizers, but conventional systems can cost tens of thousands of dollars. The team therefore began exploring whether a more affordable lyophilizer-like system could be built for education and field use.</p><p>Charles describes joining the project early in his undergraduate studies. He was drawn to it because it had a clear practical purpose and seemed like something that could become useful outside the laboratory rather than remaining only a research prototype.</p><h4><strong>Why evaporation became the key challenge</strong></h4><p>The discussion turns to the practical limitations of traditional evaporation and drying systems. Rajas explains that during a collaboration in Thailand, researchers working on Raman spectroscopy for tuberculosis diagnostics needed to dry blood-derived samples before transporting them to a central laboratory. They used a centrifugal vacuum evaporator, but the system was slow, expensive, and difficult to service when it broke down.</p><p>This experience led to a central question: could sample drying be achieved without a vacuum? Rajas notes that everyday drying processes, such as drying clothes, do not require vacuum. This insight opened the path toward a simpler, smaller, lower-cost and potentially battery-powered drying system.</p><h4><strong>How Rajas and Charles began collaborating</strong></h4><p>Charles explains that he met the lab’s principal investigator while discussing a different project. He was then invited to work on what would later become the Evaponator. At the beginning, the project was still small and exploratory.</p><p>Rajas adds that Charles joined at a stage when the team was trying to understand the physics and engineering behind vacuum-free drying. Within a few months, they developed a prototype costing under 100 USD that could dry samples much faster than the conventional vacuum evaporator used by collaborators.</p><h4><strong>Main limitations of conventional drying systems</strong></h4><p>The interview identifies several major limitations of existing evaporation technologies:</p><ul><li>High cost</li><li>Limited reliability in remote or low-resource settings</li><li>Long drying times</li><li>Poor field portability</li><li>Challenges with sterility and cross-contamination</li></ul><p>Charles emphasizes that freeze drying can take 12–24 hours, which is impractical for field use. Rajas adds that centrifugal vacuum evaporators are not necessarily sterile and may pose a risk of cross-sample contamination. Together, these challenges shaped the requirements for the Evaponator.</p><h4><strong>What the Evaponator is</strong></h4><p>Charles introduces the Evaponator as a low-cost, portable drying system designed to dry small numbers of samples quickly without a vacuum chamber. The name was inspired by an episode of <i>Phineas and Ferb</i>.</p><p>The system is based on the same principles as drying clothes: low humidity, gentle heating and airflow. Instead of using vacuum, the Evaponator generates dry air, directs it over the sample, removes moisture through a cold trap and repeats the process in a closed or semi-closed loop.</p><p>The current design is aimed at drying approximately four 1 ml samples, which fits the intended use case of field diagnostics or low-throughput sample collection in remote settings.</p><h4><strong>How the system works</strong></h4><p>Rajas explains the operating principle in more detail. Moist air is passed through a cooled metal block using a thermoelectric cooler. As the air cools, moisture condenses inside the cold trap, producing dry air. This dry air is then directed over warmed samples, helping water evaporate while keeping the sample temperature moderate.</p><p>The system can operate in a loop to improve efficiency. HEPA filtration and aerosol filtration help prevent contamination. The team also developed an ozone-based sterilization approach, allowing the device to sterilize itself using ozone generated from air rather than relying on consumables such as ethanol or peroxide.</p><p>To prevent sample-to-sample contamination, the design uses separate airflow paths for individual samples, which merge only later in the system.</p><h4><strong>Design assumptions and engineering constraints</strong></h4><p>A key design assumption is that not every drying process needs sublimation or deep vacuum. For the biofluid applications targeted by the Evaponator, the team works around 40 °C, a temperature chosen because it is close to fever temperature and should be mild enough for many biological samples.</p><p>The engineering constraints included:</p><ul><li>Use of widely available components</li><li>No specialized machining</li><li>Bill of materials under 100 USD</li><li>Low power consumption</li><li>Portability</li><li>Simple assembly</li><li>Robust airflow without splashing or sample loss</li></ul><p>Charles notes that the team intentionally selected accessible parts, including components similar to those used in computer cooling systems, vacuum-cleaner-style HEPA filters and disposable pipette tips for directing airflow.</p><h4><strong>Sample types and solvents</strong></h4><p>The prototype is currently focused mainly on aqueous biological samples. Rajas explains that using organic solvents such as ethanol would introduce ignition risks with the current architecture, so the early work is focused on water-based samples and biofluids.</p><p>Charles adds that the system is intended primarily for blood-derived fluids, urine, saliva and similar samples where the target analytes can remain stable after drying and rehydration.</p><h4><strong>Potential analytical applications</strong></h4><p>The Evaponator is being developed for field sample preparation rather than as a replacement for every laboratory evaporator. The main idea is to dry samples near the point of collection, transport them more easily and then rehydrate them before analysis.</p><p>Potential use cases include:</p><ul><li>Field diagnostics</li><li>Biofluid sample stabilization</li><li>Remote sample collection</li><li>Clinical or public-health testing in low-resource settings</li><li>Applications where dried plasma, serum, urine or saliva can later be analyzed</li><li>Situations where conventional dried blood spot methods lack enough sample volume</li></ul><p>Rajas notes that red blood cells may not be suitable for drying directly because they can rupture, so serum or plasma is expected to be more appropriate. He also points out that oxygen exposure during forced-air drying still needs further testing for oxygen-sensitive analytes.</p><h4><strong>Current development status</strong></h4><p>Charles explains that the project is approaching important validation milestones, especially around batch-to-batch and sample-to-sample sterility. The ozone cleaning system appears promising because it may reduce the need for cleaning consumables, aside from inexpensive items such as pipette tips and occasional filter replacement.</p><p>He also mentions tests with trehalose-based solutions and collaboration with a Georgia Tech startup working on room-temperature-stable mRNA vaccines. In that context, the Evaponator was able to dry samples in about 30 minutes, compared with 12–24 hours using previous drying approaches.</p><h4><strong>Commercialization and future direction</strong></h4><p>Rajas explains that the team is exploring commercialization and has participated in a startup accelerator. They are investigating where the technology could have the strongest product-market fit, with particular interest from cost-sensitive and geographically dispersed healthcare settings, including India.</p><p>The goal is to move beyond a lab prototype toward a manufacturable, user-friendly device with a straightforward interface and reliable sealing, sterilization and operation.</p><h4><strong>Closing remarks</strong></h4><p>The interview concludes with the host thanking Rajas Poorna and Charles Anderson for sharing the technical and practical challenges behind the Evaponator. Both guests emphasize that the conversation was a valuable opportunity to explain the project in depth and reflect on its progress.</p><blockquote><p><strong>This text has been automatically transcribed from a video presentation using AI technology.

This session will outline the factors which impact LC/MS methods, such as solvents and additives.

<p><strong>Light scattering techniques deliver multi-attribute quantification (MAQ) of mRNA and lipid nanoparticle-formulated mRNA and can play a key role in product and process development as well as quality control of mRNA-LNP therapeutics. Specifically, multi-angle light scattering (MALS) coupled to separation by field-flow fractionation (FFF) or size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) provides high-resolution quantification of several mRNA and LNP attributes including size distribution, physical stability, LNP number concentration, morphology, and mRNA and lipid concentration.</strong></p>
<p>The method can also be applied to evaluate how these attributes are affected by preparation, formulation, and storage conditions. In addition to high-resolution MAQ by SEC/FFF-MALS, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and electrophoretic light scattering (ELS) can be used for rapid, automatable batch measurements of particle size and concentration, polydispersity, and zeta potential, enabling rapid screening of the impact of different ions, ionic strength, pH, temperature and other parameters on the biophysical properties and stability of mRNA and LNP-mRNA.</p>

Sample Preparation: Theory and Overview

The first episode will introduce you into goals and available techniques of Solid Phase Extraction (SPE).

<p><strong>Chemical recycling holds the key to keeping plastics in the loop. Plastic waste is chemically converted into substances that can be reused as raw materials for plastic production. Pyrolysis oil is an intermediate product during this process. Among its main contaminants are nitrogen, sulfur, and halogens, which can cause fouling, corrosion, and catalyst poisoning during further processing. Therefore, quality control is essential to optimize treatment and prevent emissions, extended maintenance cycles, and low-quality hydrocarbon products.</strong></p>
<p>The complexity of chemical recycling is influenced by the raw material entering the process. Plastic waste can have a high diversity in chemical composition and physical properties, resulting in a high variability of the pyrolysis oil. Thus, one of the biggest challenges in analyzing pyrolysis oil is handling the different product grades – from low boilers to heavy cuts. Furthermore, samples can be inhomogeneous, highly viscous, and vigorously reacting, which makes it difficult to ensure correct analysis results.</p>
<p>The analysis by pyrolytic and pyrohydrolytic combustion has proven as best suited for the quick and combined determination of all relevant non-metal elements over a wide concentration range. The presented instruments ensure safe, soot-free, and quantitative combustion with short analysis times. Furthermore, the instruments can not only be utilized for the analysis of pyrolysis oil, but also for the analysis of the plastics entering the chemical recycling process.</p>
<p><strong>This web seminar will highlight:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The versatility of pyrolysis oil – whether to do sample preparation or not</li>
<li>How to assure quantitative combustion of pyrolysis oils and plastics</li>
<li>Combined determination of S, N, C, and total halides</li>
<li>Halide speciation – determination of fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine</li>
