Description

HPTLC and HPLC are most commonly used chromatographic technique, which is powerful analytical determination and validation of several biomarkers. Results obtained are simple, precise and accurate signifying well quality fingerprint profile of various phytoconsituents as a biomarker obtained from nature.
