The cost and availability of helium is becoming increasingly challenging for labs, that can lead to a disruption to analysis. It’s becoming a real headache for analysts, and the situation is not going to improve! Using hydrogen as a carrier gas is a tried-and-tested way to alleviate this problem. Markes’ award-winning Multi-Gas enabled thermal desorbers use hydrogen carrier gas (along with both nitrogen and helium, if you prefer), and when coupled with your GC–MS overcome the problem we’re seeing with helium...
Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced the launch of the Gibco™ Cell Therapy Systems (CTS™) Cellmation™ Software, a first-of-its-kind automation solution designed to connect and integrate workflows across multiple Thermo Fisher Scientific cell therapy instruments while enabling cGMP compliance.
