Description
Analysis Note
The rapid gradient separation of the street drug Flakka (α-PVP) and related compounds is shown here on an Ascentis Express RP-Amide column in reversed-phase mode. Highest grade UHPLC solvents were used to supply low background interference and low particulate contamination for robust, trouble-free operation. Cerilliant CRMs provided reliable identification and quantification.
