Abstract: Disclosed is a method for the determination of impurities in polyalkylene ethers and polyalkylene amines comprising the steps i) introducing polyalkylene ethers or polyalkylene amines as an analyte into a chromatography column containing monolithic silica gel as a stationary phase, ii) eluting the analyte with a liquid elution agent having such a polarity that the analyte is in adsorptive equilibrium with the stationary phase during chromatography, iii) detecting the components of the analyte at the exit-side end of the chromatography column, receiving a chromatogram, which shows different components of the analyte and its qualitative amount depending on the elution time of the individual components, and iv) identifying bands in the chromatogram having a low height or area compared to the band with the largest height or area as an indication of the presence of impurities in the analyte. The method allows in an easy manner to identify impurities in the sample.

Abstract: Cell cultures comprising poly(oxazoline) stabilizers and use of poly-(oxazolines for stabilizing cell cultures Described are cell cultures containing in a cell culture medium one or more water-soluble poly(oxazolines).
