Several techniques and technologies can improve efficiency in bioanalytical sciences: - High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC): HPLC is widely used for separating, identifying, and quantifying compounds in a mixture. Utilizing advanced columns and detectors can significantly enhance efficiency. - Mass Spectrometry (MS): Coupling MS with chromatography techniques like HPLC or GC (Gas Chromatography) allows for highly specific and sensitive analysis. - Automation: Automated systems for sample preparation, data acquisition, and analysis can greatly reduce the time and potential for human error. - Microfluidics: These systems handle very small sample volumes with high precision, making them ideal for high-throughput screening and analysis.
