One of the main goals of the USP monograph modernization initiative is to replace non-specific methods with highly selective and sensitive instrumental analysis methods. Based on a joint project with Metrohm, the USP proposes a new ion chromatography method for chloride and sulfate detection in drug substances, potassium carbonate, and potassium bicarbonate. The method is described in a free technical poster....

Soltec was founded in 1982 by Jim Berray and grew to become one of the most respected manufacturers of septa and caps for use in chromatography workflow solutions. Sadly Jim passed away in 2017, but his team continued their dedicated work, building on their solid foundation of expertise in silicone chemistry, materials technology and production automation. Chief Executive Officer of Trajan, Mr Stephen Tomisich, comments, “We are pleased to welcome the Soltec team into the Trajan family....

ZEISS is introducing ZEISS Elyra 7 with Lattice SIM, a new flexible platform for fast and gentle 3D superresolution. Lattice SIM expands the possibilities of structured illumination microscopy (SIM): illuminating the sample with a lattice pattern rather than grid lines gives higher contrast and allows a more robust image reconstruction. Scientists can use 2x higher sampling efficiency to lower the illumination dosage to observe fast cellular processes in superresolution....

The DrySyn OCTO is a compact, entry-level parallel synthesiser for chemists wishing to conduct synthetic reactions under an inert atmosphere with temperature control and powerful magnetic stirring. The new Mini Conversion Kit lets you quickly adapt a standard...

Testa Analytical Solutions e.K reports on how automation of isoelectric point measurement can be achieved using a BI-ZTU autotitrator in combination with a Nanobrook zeta potential analyzer. The stability of a dispersion is commonly determined by zeta potential. However, the surface chemistry of solid particles in a dispersion can be modified by altering parameters such as pH, surfactant concentration and salt concentrations....
