SOLYOM, ANIKO
I have more than 30 years of comprehensive experience in analytical method development and validation, using a
wide variety of analytical techniques. My expertise is in development and validation of analytical methods with
particular emphasis on HPLC, LC-MS applications and bioactivity guided preparative separation of complex mixtures
and analysis of biological samples and dietary supplements. In addition to HPLC technique I have significant
experience with atomic absorption spectroscopy (AA), inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy (ICP),
photoacoustic spectroscopy (PA), UV-Vis spectroscopy, elemental analysis, mass spectrometry (MS), gas
chromatography (GC), GC-MS, LC-MS, NMR and wet techniques.
Before founding GAAS Corporation/GAAS Analytical, I served as director of the Analytical Core at an NIH funded
Botanical Center (Arizona Center for Phytomedicine Research). The Facility focused on quantitation and identification
of natural products and dietary supplements, particularly anti-inflammatory compounds from turmeric, ginger and
boswellia. I developed methods to analyze these compounds from the plant materials, extracts, commercially
available dietary supplements and from different biological matrices. I also developed and validated new assay
methods according to cGLP regulations, to quantify novel cancer drugs in plasma and urine using QQQ LC/MS
technique; identifying metabolites of new cancer drugs in plasma and urine using TOF LC/MS technique and
calculating pharmacokinetic parameters.
I am an active member of AOAC International; I joined the organization in 2002. Currently I am member of AOAC’s
Stakeholder Panel on Dietary Supplements and member of various working groups. I have participated in multiple
AOAC organized collaborative studies (glucosamine, ginkgo, saw palmetto) in order to validate analytical methods to
be used by the dietary supplement industry. I was Horwitz advisor of AOAC until the restructuring the Official
Methods of Analysis (OMA) process in January 2008, when the role of method advisors and Horwitz advisors was
retired. For 5 years I have been serving as member of the Presidential Task Force on Dietary Supplements of AOAC,
and also served as member of Expert Review Panels of AOAC. I was selected in June 2015 to serve a 5 year term as
the member of USP’s Non-botanical Dietary Supplements Expert Committee.
