Description

Application

• Determination of Cotinine and 3-hydroxynicotinine in Human Serum: This study presents a method for detecting nicotine metabolites in human serum using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, where formic acid is used to aid in the extraction and detection process (Wang et al., 2024).
• Quantification of Antiretrovirals in Human Tissues: Focuses on a method for quantifying antiretrovirals in tissues using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, where formic acid may enhance the analysis (West et al., 2024).
• Redox Regulation of Ni Hydroxides: This research into the electro-refinery of biomass-derived polyols may involve formic acid in the preparation of samples or in the electrolyte solutions used (Gui et al., 2024).
• Volatile Fatty Acids in Biological Specimens: Discusses a technique for determining volatile fatty acids in various biological samples using HPLC-MS/MS with a low-temperature derivatisation method that likely involves formic acid (Li et al., 2024).
