Testing and why it is important!

Analysis performed on a hydro alcoholic (30% EtOH) extract of sample (ca. 4 mg/ml) by sonication for 10 minutes at ambient temperature, followed by centrifugation (14K rpm), resultant supernatant injected on a Waters Symmetry C18 3µm (250x4.6mm), eluted with a gradient mobile phase of 5% ACN: 95% water, changing linearly over 20 minutes to 45% ACN: 55% water. Detection performed using photodiode array (scanning 200-400nm) with signal extraction at 205nm for identification. Authentic whole Hoodia gordoni apical stem sample utilized as standard, peak isolation by semi-preparative chromatography used for quantification.
Heavy metal analysis performed using Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES) on a Varian Liberty 150AX-II on a 2% nitric acid digested sample (1mg/ml) introduced at 1.0ml / min with a 15L/min argon plasma temp of 16000°C, in sequential wavelength mode with integration time of 5 sec in triplicate for each elemental signature emission line. External calibration solution utilized for quantification obtained from Absolute Solutions
