Caliente Chromatography: Quantitative Analysis of Capsaicin

Chromatography: To Quantify or Not to Quantify, That Is the Question Our chromatography team is regularly asked to identify compounds in materials. Some projects only require the identification of compounds, while others require the accurate determination of concentration of the identified compounds. The latter, termed quantitative chromatography, requires the preparation of calibration standards suitable for […]
