Application of densitometry to the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of pharmaceutical colourants
Abstract:
Samples from all the British manufacturers of food grade Amaranth and Sunset Yellow FCF were examined by a densitometric thin-layer chromatographic procedure which provides a rapid and convenient method for producing a qualitative and quantitative statement on the impurity profiles of dye materials. Wide variations in the impurities were found which could account for variations in toxicological results. The method could be incorporated into official specifications to control more precisely the quality of food grade dyes.

Protein-Drug Binding: Determination Methods
Indirect methods involve isolating the bound drug from its free form in biological samples such as blood, serum, or plasma. These techniques aim to measure the percentage of drugs bound to proteins. Equilibrium dialysis is a commonly used method where the free drug concentration at equilibrium is measured by separating the bound...
