One of the most crucial factors determining the safety and efficacy of any herbal medicine or natural product-based formulation is the quality of the raw material. The absence of readily available biomarkers (standards) is one of the hurdles which need to be overcome to develop robust and effective quality control protocols.
Extracts from medicinal plants are notoriously complex making the isolation and purification of the biomarkers a challenging and time-consuming process. Several chromatographic methods have been developed to isolate the biomarkers from herbal extracts for further studies
Counter-current chromatography (CCC) is a liquid-liquid separation technique, which makes use of a support-free liquid stationary phase that is held in place by a rotating force field. In CCC, both the stationary and mobile phases are liquids while in other types of liquid chromatography, the stationary phases are solid. Thus through using CCC, decomposition and adsorption of compounds by the solid stationary phase do not occur making HPCCC ideally suited for the rapid isolation of natural products which is only one of many advantages HPCCC offers over conventional techniques [1, 2].
Isolation of bio markers from Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Aloe ferox exudate, Harpagophytum procumbens tube extract and Sceletium tortuosum leaf extract by HPCCC are presenting.

The Congress Reporting Form
How many volunteers were present at the Congress? : 200
Delegates from which countries presented in the congress? : Georgia, Austria, France, Russia, Poland, South Africa, ...
Were the delegates of any other organizations present in the congress? : No
If yes, please write the names of the organizations in the box :  
What were the responses to your talking points? Were specific questions or concerns raised? : My topic is a somehow a new issue, so there are several questions were raised after talk and more in breaks. There are some invitations also raised up to go to their institutions to present my topic.
If you met staff members, please list their full names & positions. : Prof. Nana Gorgaslidze, congress chairman and the head of TSMU institute of pharmacochemistry.
Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : I had a meeting with her the day after congress and we were talking about the possible collaborations. I talk about some problems they have in their research fields and I explained our potential in the faculty of pharmacy at Tehran University of Medical Sciences, so we are in contact for possible cooperation.
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : Because of the limited TUMS travel grant, I had to find a cheap flight, so I had 16 hours transit time in both way.
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : Most of the attendance are from Georgia. To increase the congress quality, they have some foreigner plenary and invited speakers that in my point of view, it is very important to open international corporations. Georgia is a developing country and organizing such as this conferences will help them and similar countries to improve, especially when some foreigner scientists are inviting for congress. Always congress is the meeting of ideas and opportunity to meet the scientists from other countries, discuss about the different issues a find a way for collaborations.
