As for the equipment, I'm still using the same high pressure pump and mass spectrometer (which measures the weight of the molecules in your mixture and then you have to "guess" what that weight means). The main replacement was from a separation column of 2 mm diameter to a 0.1 mm diameter. Taking into account that the columns relate as 2²:0.1² = 4:0.01, the sensitivity should have increased about fourhundredfold (haven't measured the exact increase, but it sure is a lot better).

I like explaining these things! The separation of a mixture with HPLC is based on pumping the mixture through a column with, for instance, hydrophobic material. Hydrophilic molecules will travel faster than hydrophobic ones, hence the separation

If there is no room in this thread I would be interested in starting another on this subject.

I believe that adamantium is a key element in new romanticism.

I can just understand enough to be dangerous myself. But with terms like High Performance, Snake Venom, Proteins, and Hydrophilic, who could help but be interested?

I was thinking it might take more than 3 posts to explain!

Sorry. What were you saying. I must have dozed off....

I used to keep a hydrophilic in my wallet but, I was afraid to use it for fear it would break from being sat on so many times so I got a new one. Can't be too careful y'know. An ounce of prevention and all heh heh.

So a peer review of the 3 post policy might be in order?

Ask away! The point of my project is searching for new drugs derived from poisons. It sounds counterintuitive, but if an ingredient from a poison leads to low blood pressure, that could serve as a drug for people with high blood pressure.

This is starting to sound too much on topic......Unfocus please.
