Intended for use with the Waters ACQUITY® UPLC® M-Class System and Waters mass spectrometers including the Xevo® TQ-S Mass Spectrometer and SYNAPT® G2-Si Mass Spectrometer, the Waters® ionKey/MS System physically integrates a UPLC separation into the mass spectrometer....
TSQ Endura LC-MS delivers high sensitivity, extreme uptime
Laboratories performing clinical research and other high throughput LC-MS workflows have access to a new triple quadrupole platform designed for higher uptime than any competitive instrument. The Thermo Scientific Endura triple stage quadrupole mass spectrometer shares much of the advanced technology of the Thermo Scientific TSQ Quantiva MS system developed at the same time to transform the triple quadrupole LC-MS category.....
The globalization of the food chain has meant that the focus on food safety is greater than ever before and as a result, food manufacturers are facing increasingly stringent regulatory requirements.
One area that is receiving a growing amount of attention is mycotoxin intake from contaminated food and feed which causes mycotoxin intoxication. Mycotoxins are secondary fungal metabolites that are typically produced by fungi growing on grains and fruit during shipment or storage. When ingested, mycotoxins may cause acute or chronic disease and it has been shown that repeated exposure to low level mycotoxin ingestion can affect...

J.G. Finneran Associates designed Limited Volume Inserts with and without Bottom Springs to ensure that autosamplers extract even the smallest sample volumes every time, without damaging injection needles or breaking sample containers.
The inserts preassembled with polymer bottom springs act as shock absorbers to protect sample needles from bottoming out during sample extraction. Inserts without the bottom springs automatically centers in the vial and provides a perfect seal with the septa. The pulled point internal design permits sufficient sample withdrawal and allows chemists the ability to analyze smaller sample volumes in standard size vials.
Read MoreImproved Determination of Key Analytes in Fine Particulate MatterJan 21, 2015
Thermo Fisher Scientific has developed an ion chromatography method with suppressed conductivity detection for sensitive determination of inorganic anions and carboxylic acids (fluoride, acetate, formate, mesylate, chloride, nitrate, succinate, malonate, sulfate, and oxalate) in airborne particulate matter (PM2.5).
Application Note 1107: Determination of Anions and Carboxylic Acids in Urban Fine Particles (PM2.5) demonstrates that this new method can determine more analytes relevant to air contamination than either of the two standard methods currently in use. The determination is performed using a high-pressure ion chromatography system, the Thermo Scientific™ Dionex™ ICS-5000+ Reagent-Free™ HPIC™ system, equipped with a...
Leaks at gas chromatography (GC) column connections are a common source of frustration and wasted time in laboratories.
Time is often spent manually tightening connections between columns using a handheld tool – time which could otherwise be spent analyzing results or running more investigations. Preventing GC leaks has become a priority for researchers looking to save time and money while achieving high quality results. GC column connections leak because capillary column ferrules made of graphite polyimide blends loosen after...
VICI’s Pulsed Discharge helium ionization Detector (PDD) extends the detection capabilities of the popular Agilent 6890 and new 7890 GCs.

Pulsed discharge detector Model D-3-1-HP is designed for plug-and-play installation on Agilent GCs, with models available for the 6890 and 7890. The D-3-1-HP is optimized for trace level work in the helium photoionization mode, and utilizes the electronics and power supply of the host GC. The system includes detector cell, pulser, and...
In collaboration with scientists from the European Union Reference Laboratory for Dioxins and PCBs in Feed and Food, Thermo Fisher Scientific has developed a simple, reliable and robust method for detecting and confirming low levels of dioxins in food and feed samples using a triple quadrupole gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS/MS) system equipped with an autosampler.
Application Note 10406: Validation of GC-MS/MS for Detection and Confirmation of Low-Level Dioxins illustrates the excellent selectivity and sensitivity of this GC-MS/MS System for low levels of dioxins, even in complex matrices. Dioxins are a group of chemically-related compounds, including polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), and some dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). These compounds are...
When Labnet International launched its Electrophoresis and Molecular Biology product line in 2002, it included a single Horizontal Gel Electrophoresis unit.
Labnet has since expanded the product line to include more than 30 electrophoresis products, plus a host of product accessories.

Power supplies range from space saving units for simple DNA and protein applications to fully programmable units able to do high amperage applications like Western Blotting. Vertical gel boxes are compatible with most...
At the renowned Midsummer House Restaurant in Cambridge, UK the chefs have been experimenting with centrifugal evaporation, using the Genevac Rocket evaporator.
Using the centrifugal evaporation technique, Midsummer House chefs are taking large volumes of liquid and concentrating them down. These concentrates can be used to increase the depth of flavour of sauces or stocks or to create unique flavour combinations. Centrifugal evaporation is predominantly used in analytical laboratories, where the quality of the final product is absolutely vital – just as it is in the kitchen. At Midsummer House, Head Chef Daniel Clifford’s cooking has a...
Thermo Fisher Scientific has developed two robust methods to identify uronic acids in acid-hydrolyzed wood samples, with each method using a different specialized anion-exchange column as demonstrated in Application Note 1091: Determination of Uronic Acids and Wood Sugars in Wood-Based Hydrolysates.
