Solvent extraction in complex fluids encompasses the transfer of solutes—most often metal ions or organic compounds—between two immiscible liquid phases underpinned by multiscale organisation. In such ...

Young Hae Choi, a natural products chemist at Leiden University in the Netherlands, and his coworkers discovered these new solvents while studying metabolites found in cells. The researchers realized ...

The authors examine alternative solvents for extractables and leachables screening evaluation of process components that provide extraction equivalence and do not interfere chromatographically.

Shell’s Global Business Development Manager Monica Karamagi presented ShellSol 2046NA, a new solvent that will increase metal extraction. ShellSol 2046NA slows crud formation and has a high boiling ...

Laboratory testing found that a novel approach reduced the time required for sample preparation from hours to minutes. This article summarizes test methods and results. Questions often arise about the ...
