Summary = Craft Technologies has been using the Polaratherm from
Selerity Technologies to experiment with sub-ambient temperature
separations
Press Release
Body = In the search for optimized research techniques, nutraceuticals
expert Craft Technologies has been experimenting with sub-ambient
temperature separations, in particular, using the Polaratherm from
Selerity Technologies (Salt Lake City, Utah). The separation of
phytochemicals in natural products, including
powerful anti-oxidants (carotenoids), has seen renewed interest
for their use in nutraceuticals. It is believed that the anti-oxidant
capabilities of carotenoids may reduce the risk of developing cancer.
Craft Technologies,
Inc (Wilson, North Carolina) is a contract laboratory specializing
in the analysis of fat-soluble vitamins, carotenoids, and phytochemicals
in serum, tissue, foods, and nutraceuticals. Additionally, Craft
Technologies provides new method development and consultation regarding
vitamin and carotenoid analysis for human and animal nutrition.
Using Selerity’s Polaratherm, Craft Technologies has conducted
experiments to separate retinol and retinyl esters, carotenoids,
and tocopherols. The results have
all demonstrated that sub-ambient and programmable temperature separations
using the Polaratherm yield improved chromatographic separations.
Method development has been simplified, analysis time reduced and
peak resolution improved.
Selerity’s
Polaratherm is a HPLC column compartment capable of controlling
the temperature from sub zero to 200ºC benefiting from two
modes of operation, temperature programming and isothermal. It is
the first column compartment that allows and regulates high, ambient,
low or dynamic temperatures for selectivity tuning and improved
HPLC separations. This equipment is applicable to most vendor HPLC
systems and can be deployed in any laboratory already operating
HPLC at little additional cost.
