The latest edition of the CAMAG Bibliography Service, CBS 102, is now available from CAMAG's UK distributor, Omicron Research Limited. Containing over 166 extracts of recent publications, CBS is the essential reference bulletin for all those working in the field of Thin-Layer chromatograpy/HPTLC, ensuring readers are the first to be aware of published papers in their field.
CBS 102 features CAMAG's new TLC-MS Interface, showing how its revolutionary semi-automatic design can significantly aid identification of unknown substances by extracting compounds from a TLC/HPTLC plate and feeding them into a mass spectrometer for substance identification or structure elucidation. Botanical slimming products come under investigation using HPTLC methods, revealing the extent to which Hoodia Gordinii is misrepresented in product labelling. Studies of nature continue with HPTLC analysis of natural sponges and the world's oldest tree species, Gingko biloba, for their pharmacological properties.
